| - | *In ''Halo 3'', look for a UNSC mobile computer. Watch the lower-left monitor. After a few seconds, Cortana's face will appear for an instant and then disappear. Two of the easiest ways to see this is to either look at the aforementioned screen in the beginning of Crow's Nest, or at one of the computers in the multiplayer map High Ground.

| - | *There was going to be an alternate story in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' in which when Master Chief rediscovered Cortana inside the control room, she had become mad with power and wanted to take over Halo and the universe. Revealed by Jason Jones on the ''Halo 3 Legendary Edition'' bonus disk

| - | *Originally, Cortana was supposed to have a British accent. Revealed by Jason Jones on the ''Halo 3 Legendary Edition'' bonus disk. This is evidenced by the fact that in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', Cortana uses several British idioms, such as "sod off!" when addressing 343 Guilty Spark.

| - | *She was rated as one of the ten most disturbingly sexual game characters by Games.net and one of the fifty greatest female video game characters ever by Tom's Games. http://us.tomsgames.com/us/2007/02/20/the_50_greatest_female_characters_in_the_history_of_video_games/ http://www.games.net/article/netten/1/116901/top-ten-disturbingly-sexual-game-characters/

| - | *In ''Halo 3'', she repeated lines Dr. Halsey has said before such as "You will be the protector of Earth and all her colonies." which Dr. Halsey says to the 6 year old Spartans in ''Halo: The Fall Of Reach''. Cortana also recites a few lines from the Cortana Letters in ''Halo 3'' in some of her messages and in the announcement trailer. Some of the lines are said in the Cortana moments in the level Cortana.

| - | *Cortana has been through 7 ''Notable Battles'', again referring back to Bungie's love of the number.

| - | *It was noted by Dr. Catherine Halsey in the novel ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' that at a certain angle, you could almost see a skeletal structure in Cortana.

| - | *Cortana has many similarities to the Marathon AI, Leela, such as control over certain functions of ships and other locations in their computer systems.

| - | *Being a smart A.I., Cortana's operational life span is approximately seven years. However, after she took in all the Forerunner information in Halo's control room, her estimated life span was halved due to the vast task of storing, processing etc. all that information. Halo: First Strike page 195 In addition, this also noticeably decreased her efficiency, albeit temporarily. Halo: First Strike

| - | *The name Cortana (also ''Curtana'' or ''Courtain'') is a latinised form of the Anglo-French ''curtein'', from Latin ''curtus'' meaning "shortened." The name is used for a ceremonial type of sword; according to legend, one such weapon was the sword of Ogier the Dane; it bore the inscription "My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal." Durendal (spelled 'Durandal' in this sense) was the name of an artificial intelligence in a previous Bungie game, Marathon. This also ties in with Cortana telling the Chief "I am your shield, I am your sword."

| - | *Strangely enough, although Cortana had worked with the Master Chief a number of times beforehand, Cortana seemed to have been unfamiliar with the Master Chief's armor systems when she was transferred from the ''Pillar of Autumn'' into John's MJOLNIR suit. However, due to her tone of voice, she may have been joking.
| + | |
| - | *Cortana is the only one to call Master Chief by his real name in the Halo games, at the end of ''Halo 3''.

| - | *Verzeifelt und gefoltert an Bord von High Charity murmelt sie: "Eine Sammlung von Lügen, das ist alles, was ich bin! Gestohlene Gedanken und Erinnerungen!" Später sagt sie: "Ich bin meiner Mutter Schatten ..." und "Die Münze war schuld", wohl bezogen auf das Spiel, das Dr. Halsey mit John-117 spielte, als er jung war.
