Just a thought, not much of a theory, but it is apparent in the E3 Campaign Trailer that an AI only “lives” for seven years before they deteriorate, and Cortana has been in service for eight. Now, we do know Cortana will become rampant in Halo 4. She may become a minor threat or an enormous obstacle in the game.
However, do you believe she will be “destroyed” by the end of the game, or become an even larger threat throughout the remainder of the trilogy?

Good idea on that thought. Perhaps another Composer on Requiem? That would make sense.
But if you saw the Halo 4 e3 campaign trailer she says " i will not allow you to leave this planet!!" in a rampant tone so i think it’s possible for Cortana to go Rampant.

I think we’ve all established that she’s entering rampancy.
She will deteriorate in the first 30 minutes of the campaign and be replaced with Navi. It will be ocarina of time style. Every other object you walk past, “Hey, Listen!!”. Lol
