I disagree. *Halo 3 Spoilers*

In Response To: Halo 3 'review' - by me a year ago. SUPER LONG (Cody Miller) : Cortana was always fairly sexual in nature. It was pacified in Halo, and at : the time people only got off to Cortana fan art, as her appearance in the : game was rather neutral. Halo 2 changed that, giving her long hair, : breasts, and hips, and by the prophets, she got some hips. Halo 3 became : even more perverse, by not only further sexualizing her as a virtual : being, but by relegating her to a damsel in distress position with : violation and tentacle rape innuendos. It is actually some super : disturbing freaky shit when you think about it. : Miranda Keyes is killed [SPOILER] by what else, the needler, a weapon that : shoots giant pink spikes. Figure that one out on your own for bonus : points. : The only allusion to the sexless Bungie of the old days is the Master Chief, : being clad from head to toe in one giant chastity belt. This of course : makes Cortana seem more incongruous, being the sole source of overt : sexuality. It’s almost as if her sexuality is supposed to motivate us to : rescue her. Joe Staten, writer at Bungie, has spoken of the pseudo love : story between the Chief and Cotana, and how it culminates with her rescue. : It all makes sense now doesn’t it? I’m sure the Master Chief was smoking a : cig after that fade to black, with Cortana finally being inserted back : into him. He’ll probably call his friends the day after to brag about it. First, Miranda isn't killed by a Needler, she's killed by a Spiker. Second, I don't really get what you're trying to get at with the Needler comments anyway. You're looking WAY too deep into it, IMO. Third, I think you are looking at the whole sex thing too deeply anyway. I'm sorry, but I honestly don't think Bungie were trying for the sexual undertones you hint at. I agree that Bungie has taken some wrong steps with Halo 3 though, but it's always hard to recreate the magic of the first game.
