Subject: I know who the new Halo 4 trilogy enemy is!

In cryptum, it referred to the flood being sent to our galaxy in ships.

But the "flood" that was sent, was not intelligent at that stage, but was in the form of powder.

Something physically sent the flood knowing its true nature and what it would evolve into.

That something which we know nothing about is the new enemy as it now automatically creates a trilogy worth of questions like who, why etc?

(Exactly the same at the start of Halo CE, we knew nothing about forerunner).

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

That would be gravemind, we killed him in halo 3.....

We killed another Gravemind....

Flood was most likely send "here" by Precursors...

Cortana was amazed at how old he was in one of the books when she was absorbed by him partially. He has the memory of all of the species he has absorbed (infected), he knew of the forerunners.

Well: if Gravemind was formed directly after the previous firing of the Halos...then that mofo WAS very old.

Also: I think what Cortana really meant was how old his memories and knowledge were. Flood and Graveminds in special are like the Geth of Mass Effect: 1 combined "brain" that has all the knowledge of those before it, and builds on that with the knowledge it acquires on its own.
So even if the Gravemind we knew was a 1000 years old (just an example), he would still have the knowledge of all his predecessors which dates back tens- maybe hundred thousends of years...

The Gravemind is the controlling intelligence behind the parasitic Flood species. When a creature is assimilated into the Flood, its knowledge is transferred directly to the Gravemind, and the remainder of its mind is destroyed. In addition, it appears each Gravemind also retains the memories and knowledge of previous Graveminds.

Yup, Graveminds inherit their predecessors' memories and knowledge.

No..

Have you read cryptum?

There was power sent in automated ships from another galaxy.

When the flood reaches critical mass only then is a grave mind created.

The things that created the powder IS what the new enemy is (whether that is the precursors or not is up for debate.. as per the discussion about the precursor that was found).

But the point I was making is that this new Halo triolgy is not going to be about the Flood but WHO created them and WHY.
