In Response To: Re: Halo 4, rampancy, and disappointment (ukimalefu)

: And why would all rampant AIs develop the same way?

Rampant means 'flourishing or spreading unchecked,' and the description of what it means for an AI to go rampant in Marathon is fairly detailed and specific, and it is not what appears to happen to Cortana in Halo as far as I can tell.

Halo is not Marathon, but it borrows various concepts from Marathon. Halo 4 is not Bungie, but it's built on top of a decade of story and universe building. It's not surprising, it just would have been nice if things had been done a little differently. Not exactly Marathon-related, but rampancy is.
