would have but no one on the continent could get me a copy in the original kraut before I needed to turn stuff in so there you go.

james status: rebel galaxy was a fun jaunt, escort missions suck in every game, and sky rogue update is cool.

when halo was first released, they also published a bunch of tie-in novels. they had a semi-canonical status in that bungie was happy to, and frequently did, stomp all over them when writing subsequent games. as a result the novels sort of went off into their own little world and became a rather different story

then ownership of the franchise was transferred from bungie to 343, who decided for halo 4 to unify the novels and the game by retconning stuff in the game storyline to fit where the novels had ended up. this made the game story incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't kept up with the novels and directly contradicts the earlier games in several places

none of that really has anything to do with the tender emotional sexy cortana death scene, but it explains why you should not get into halo lore even if you like the manshooting

cortana died in halo 4 because humans don't know how to make AIs and they all go insane after seven years of runtime, yet people keep making them because they're useful and also this is the same society that kidnapped a bunch of six year olds and performed experimental surgeries to turn them into supersoldiers

cortana comes back in halo 5 because she transferred herself to a Forerunner computer and this magically fixed her somehow and now she's bringing about galactic peace by killing everybody who doesn't submit to her authority

it's because the forerunners were replaced by their AI or they transferred their minds to the cloud or some nonsense like that, the forerunners view AI as the superior form of life

the kidnapped six year olds were replaced with artificially aged clones that almost immediately died of cancer which is a good thing because if they lived long enough they'd go nuts because the mind copying technology doesn't work either

they're goign with an industry-standard "i must sacrifice myself and become the loathed tyrant in order to ensure peace" plotline

they mixed up Hal and Leto II and gave it huge tracts of land.
