Dude, in terms of John and Cortana, I am scared.

I suspect, at one point, they will have Cortana "die"...What better way to expand on John's humanity? Do I think she can come back as A.) some kind of AI-humanoid hybrid or B.) in some new form, reaching metastability off-screen? Yes.

And, have you heard the music yet? (Yeah, it's already on my Halo playlist.)

The multiplayer features sound awesome--I'm glad that they picked up some cues from COD (i.e. joining games in progress/respawn time).

I think I can handle everything, knowing that Frankie is over there. Except if they kill (like, dude, she's gone forever) Cortana. Then I live in denial.

BTW, have they mentioned if Jen Taylor or Steve Downes is coming back to voice the characters?

Oh, and the absence of Johnson will make me sad. :(

I kind of... always thought Johnson should have been dead from the first Halo. I never accepted him as being himself after that Legendary ending. I always thought we were going to find out that the Flood was able to replicate humans exactly or something crazy.

D'aw, but he had such epic lines! (But I totally know where you're coming from.)

*cutting in to give an answer*

Marty is in contract with Bungie so he cannot work for any other game developer.

343 was created by Microsoft when Bungie parted ways after Halo: Reach. Now Bungie has a partnership with Activision, so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. :D
