History YMMV / HaloInfinite

** The revelation isn't that she shouldn't have done it without John. It's that she and John were a team, and that without him she lost her objectivity and went way too far. She knows that had she been with John all along, she would likely not have done the things she did, and takes responsibility for them. She also makes up for what she's done by ensuring John would have the Weapon with him and damaging the Halo so much that it will potentially take many years or even centuries to self-repair, ensuring the Banished could never fire it.

*** It's a case of being obvious to ''us'' and Chief, but not obvious to the character herself. The Weapon is a sentient that is around six months old and has very little information that was not relevant to her mission. She didn't even know what the Banished are when you first retrieve her. Since she didn't know Cortana or anything about her, why is it surprising that she only realises later when she discovers she has the same mannerisms?

*** The Weapon is literally a copy of Cortana, both of whom's neurology is derived from the exact same person (Halsey). Hardly surprising that they would respond to similar situations in the same way. It's even one of the themes of the game, that things are cyclical. The Weapon is even worried when she realises her connection to Cortana whether the same thing will one day happen to her.

*** The irony here is that passengers sitting on the treads of the Scorpion never actually made sense in the first place. Any marines that sat on the tank in earlier games seemed to be targeted ''before'' the tank would, meaning it was almost impossible to keep them alive. They are hung out on a generally slow-moving piece of armour without any cover, would die horribly well before the tank took serious damage and wouldn't help the player all that much unless armed with power weapons.
