After watching the trailer multiple times, I have come to a realization. A small one, but one that has gone unnoticed thus far. Layered under Cortana's voice under her first two lines are the bass tones of nothing other than...Gravemind. This leads me to conclude Cortana is transmitting her conversation/interrogation with Gravemind to John (it may also be an audio effect). This is complete speculation, with nothing to go on but very discreet tones. The statement "I have defied Gods and Demons," however, could very well be originally said by Gravemind. In fact, the whole conversation, except for the last line, could heave been Gravemind, with his speaking skill of prophets (religious, not Covenant). I cannot think of anything else about this that is remarkable. Listen for yourself, but in the second line, it is extremely hard to make out. Actually, the second line may have been Cortana speaking to John. Only Bungie knows. Actually, maybe they don't. Maybe no one knows what's going on or what's going to happen. Only time will tell. It seems highly unlikely Gravemind would call himself Cortana's shield or sword. After hearing that second line again, and really listening, I think it really IS Gravemind. I heard his voice throughtout the whole line, layered under Cortana's. Another speculation: Gravemind is helpong the humans...after all, he was probably once Forerunner, and may retain some of the Forerunner characteristics (mentally and psychologically, kinda like Jekyll and Hyde, switching between two identities from timw to time). Probably not. He may be tricking Cortana again, or just openly using her. Which brings me to another thought. At the end of Halo 2, Gravemind said "Now I shall talk, and YOU shall listen." Suggesting he may only revealing his secrets to Cortana (okay maybe not secrets). If he is, it is probably just a trick to use her and (oh no) escape Delta Halo. To make it to the Ark perhaps, and consume the sentient life therein. Bungie uses many biblical references, and I don't blame them. Cortana definitely says the third and fourth lines, if it's not just an audio effect of course. But the "effect" is definitely said by the voice actor of Gravemind. That much is clear. (Woo another speculation) When Cortana says "I know you..." she is probably referring to the information collected from the core of Installation 04. (didn't she save that onto a hard disk or something and then delete most of it though?) She may still retain much of the information about the flood, and the other installations, including Gravemind. In the multiplayer dscription of Relic, it said something about those structures being monuments to fallen Forerunner against the Flood. Of course that data would be on all of the installations core's. Anyhoo, she may know ALL about Gravemind; know it's a Forerunner turned Flood (because Relic is on Delta Halo). I'm getting bored of talking about Gravemind now, on to something short and new.
Like it suggests in the FAQ, that is NOT the MA5B Assault Rifle. It has a few slight changes. The trigger-grip has changed, there is a small cylinder on the underside of the front handle, the barrel is slightly longer, and it has a longer barrel. It coud very well be a semi-automatic, burst, or full-auto compatible (wrong word I know) rifle. Or maybe all 3, or just 2. We (the fans) have no way of knowing. That's all, but I think Cortana knows how the world's gonna end. (Obviously)
That is all.
