Canonically, Cortana has a 7 year life cycle, began service in 2549 and the events of Halo 3 took place in 2552. In an interview, I believe it was revealed that Halo 4 takes place 5 years after Halo 3. That would make Cortana 8 years old. Discuss?
Im pretty sure it takes place in 2553

Nope, I’m pretty sure it’s 2557.

Actually, I think it was actually revealed to take place a significant (years?) amount of time after Halo 3.

In an interveiw, a live interveiw, I believe Kiki said it was about 5 years. It was said before it, that Cortana would be rampant or nearing rampancy in Halo 4, and that would put it around 2556. 2553 was said by OXM, not the official source, 343i.
its 2553, go look at the newest weekly update, I believe it shows the answer
Well if that is the case then Cortana should not be in Halo 4 at all if she was created in 2549 if the game takes place in 2557
