I don't know if anybody has brought this up before, I bet it probably has. But if it has, I didn't see it.

In the trailer, Cortana says,

"I have defied gods and demons."

Well, since we pretty much know that Cortana is either out of date or rampant, this is what I think.
She says she has defied gods. By gods she could mean the prophets. They call themselves gods of the Covenant.
Then she says that she has defied demons. If you listen to the cut-scenes throughout the whole game, the Covenant call the Chief a demon. So maybe she has defied both the Covenant and the humans?

I think u nailed with the gods part, but i think demons are the flood.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I think that the demon is the Chief. Throughout the whole game, the Chief is called a demon by the Covenant. And since shes still with gravemind, she really hasn't defied the flood, so they can't be the demons.

Well, my guess is that she is going to end up somewhere with the flood or forerunners throughout the game. I highly doubt her and the chief will match back up; unless Chief makes an appearance with gravemind again. And I don't think that gravemind is going to let her go to the Covenant. Since the Covenant were trying just to take out the flood; Gravemind giving up Cortana would be a huge mistake.

Col Sanders 37- Would you like that original or extra crispy?

I hope you choke on my popcorn chicken!

Eat my crispy strips biotch!

But gravemind could actually be the one making cortana say those things. His voice is in the background so he might have taken her over. So in reality it might be saying, the flood (gravemind) has defied gods and demons.

i agree with grunt buster. imagine the full out insanity of the flood with teh combat strategie's and human intelligence of cortana. but i think that if one leader flood has cortana in its head, chief should have to kill it, and bash its face in to take cortana back. like in halo CE with keyes. that'd be fricken sweet

I think the demons thing refers to the Chief.

"I have defied Gods and Demons"

He doesn't say I destroyed Gods and Demons

Gods=Prophets Demon=The Chief

I believe it's Gravemind influencing Cortana. Why would the Gravemind refer to the Flood as Demons when he IS the Flood. That and I don't think he'd gain much by defying himself........

"I am your shield, I am your sword"

I think this is Gravemind refering to the Arbiter and the Chief(Chief shields, Arbiter's Sword), in a vague roundabout way. Like Gravemind knows the course of events and knows the only things that might stand in his way are the Arby and the Chief.......That might be a stretch, but Gravemind speaks in riddles anyway.

"I know you, I know your past, I know your future"

This makes me think Gravemind and Cortana have somehow merged Ghost In the Shell style. Either that or Gravemind has corrupted Cortana and controls her.........and he probably knows the location of Earth if he does......
