I like turtles

Cortana: What IS that thing?
Gravemind: I? I am a monument to all your sins.

This line finally makes sense to me.

A Gravemind is basically a conglomerate of flood forms and absorbed memories; dead things basically. Often flood will infect the dead, which is, in Halo, fallen marines and fallen covenant. Murder is a sin. The Gravemind is literally a monument of their sins.

Yep. Frankly though, I thought the meaning of that quote was kinda obvious from the start, at least when we started learning how the Flood operates.

Of course, with Cryptum it could have a different meaning.

I haven't read Cryptum yet, but didn't the humans take part in the genocide of the Precursors?

Regardless, the Gravemind is a monument to their sins.

we have no proof of that, we know the the forerunners had something to do with the annihilation of the precursors.

In the bible, God flooded the world because humanity had become too sinful. Just saying.

Nice one. I like it but religion is not to be talked about on the forms sorry if this happens again. I will have to report you.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Yeah, there is a whole topic that has been relating Christianity to Halo and it hasn't been banned.

we also technically don't have any proof the Forerunners wiped out the Precursors. All the other evidence--like the terminals--says the Precursors partook in the Great Journey, and that the Didact wanted to follow in their footsteps. Then there's the fact Precursor technology cannot be destroyed, and so on so forth.

But we'll have to wait and see. Perhaps the Forerunners were more advanced back then.

How does have anything to do with the flood....from halo.

Wow did you think it meant an actual flood when we talk about it

FAIL

So Bungie put Christian references in Halo, but then we're not allowed to talk about them?

Fail, much?

I think you may be misunderstanding the rule, though I could be equally wrong of course, I think the rule means we can't talk about just religion by itself, I don't think Bungie minds people drawing religious connections to the game, because they probably put them in there on purpose.

And as someone else pointed out, there's a whole thread talking about Halo in connection to Christianity, and it's not locked or anything at all. So I think drawing a connection between the game and a religion is not a problem.

They achieved interstellar flight and left Earth. The intelligent ones left after killing all of the stupid dinosaurs.

I still want to know how the Gravemind heard Cortana.

Look I have not reported him. Im just trying to help him out. There are guys and girls out there that will. So you need to be mindful of what you say and do on the forms. Reed the rules http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=55733729
and find your own conclusion. Im just saying its a topic that can get you negatively looked on.

What on earth are you talking about?

The precursors believed that inanimate objects and the rest of life were neurologically linded, if the Flood was truly created by the Forerunners, then perhaps the Gravemind took advantage of that link... Or she was broadcasting through the chief's external speakers.

Well, lets just ASSUME that gravemind is the last precursor.


THe forerunners sinned when they tried to wipe out the entire precursor race. THe forerunners passed their legacy onto humanity. So the sins of the forerunner passed onto their children...humanity.
