I dont know if this has been said before or not...

Have you guys noticed that when cortana says "I have defiled gods and demons" there is a second, overlapping voice? Im not sure but it kind of sounds like the gravemind. If thats true, does it mean that the gravemind was saying all those things and was just using cortana to speak for him? obvious but still, i felt like saying it

btw... she/they also says "i am your sheild, i am your sword.. " To me it kind of sounds like a somewhat sketchy alliance between the humans and the flood, it kind of makes sense. I mean they both dont want the halos to activate, and so far they have failed on their own... then again im probably just reading too much into this stuff...

Cortana's voice is different in the trailer. Just have to wait for Halo 3.

what's hapening is one of three things in the trailer. cortana is either:
A. relaying mesage from the gravemind
B. being controled by the gravemind
C. thinking herself to death
if the first two are true then the overlaped voice is the gravemind. If option C is true then the overlap is a glitch

I agree. The overlapping voice does sound a lot like gravemind. As we saw at the end of Halo 2, Gravemind will have a major hand in Halo 3, seeing as he has Cortana. However, the part where Cortana says the whole "I am your shield, I am your sword" thing, I think that is actually Cortana speaking, no influence of Gravemind. The "past and future" thing is questionable though. That is mostly Gravemind speaking through Cortana I think. Cortana told Gravemind Master Chief's past and Gravemind knows his future. I don't see how Cortana could know his future without hearing it from Gravemind.

I dont know about only cortana talking in parts of it...

Throughout the entire halo series have you ever known cortana to be cryptic in any way?

I do agree the gravemind could be talking through her, but i do doubt that she is saying all this on her own
