[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] snipe champpppp I hate to burst your bubble, but wasn't one of the main reasons Bungie stopped making Halo was because they were bored of it? What makes you think they aren't bored of their Protagonist/Antagonist formula that they have kept through the past 20 years? Just saying.[/quote]Pretty sure they (well, urk) has said in the past that they would have kept on making Halo if Microsoft (by some form of divine intervention) let them keep it. But they didn't for obvious reasons. And why wouldn't they continue it when they it is very apparent that, if this all is true (which it seems to be), they set this up to be a 3-part-deal. Besides, considering neither Cortana nor Durandal seem to have any specific characteristics relative to the swords themselves (Cortain and Durendal), or their owners (Ogier the Dane and Roland, respectively) so it's just a name. And, after all, to quote a love-blind teenager, "[i]What's in a name?[/i]" Besides the reliquary aspect of both the swords and (while the parallelism is slightly off here) those who carry the AIs, nothing from the story other than names actually manifests itself in the games.
