Spartan Ops re: Roland*spoilers*

So, it’s pretty obvious that Roland is going to go rampant. With his dramatically increased “snarky personality” and his growing ego, I think that, by the end of this, we will be dealing with a completely rampant AI in control of Infinity.
Who else sees this as an inevitability?
How would a ship that size survive without an AI?

I don’t think he’s that old yet he was the last thing put on Infinity. Although Halsey’s tinkering and the forerunner information could be decreasing his life span

How is he going rampant?
I haven’t noticed that at all. That’s just his personality, not rampancy.

Hes not going rampant as the person above me said

lol That’s just his awesome personality. He better not die somehow though. He’s the best character in Spartan Ops.

AI’s don’t really have personality in the halo universe. Even Cortana’s “personality” was from her rampancy. Her personality in the older games usually came after being exposed to or inserted into larger networks and more information.
Also, if you think back to how he was in the start of the game, and really everything prior to Halsey’s “little trick,” he was always straight forward and respectful.
As the episodes have continued, he has gotten more arrogant and more insulting, which corresponds with AI’s rampancy, as laid out in the Halo novels. Most of the time, rampancy was not an issue of sadness/depression like Cortana’s was in this game. It’s usually out of arrogance.

> AI’s don’t really have personality in the halo universe.

If you’ve read the novels, you’ll realise AIs do have a personality. Have you read Contact Harvest?

He’s not going rampant dude. Trolland is just being Trolland.

Oh man, you’re right. I forgot about that Mack and Loki storyline.

*Broland.

He’s not going rampant, that’s just the way he is.

Hehehe

He reminds me of a gameshow announcer.

I bet he does the announcing for the Infinity Price is Right, or Infinity Dating Game.

No, I love him. I think he’s hilarious.
