...gawd i love being a gamer right now...
I don't understand the reasoning behind people saying that the trailer seems like Gravemind "got to" or is "influencing" or "using" Cortana. Gravemind is an organic being. A parasitic one true, but still organic. he's made of purely organic stuff, and can obviously merge with other organic beings as we saw when that prophet had been molded into one of his tentacles but how in the world would he be able to merge with or manipulate an AI? It just doesnt make sense...
Sure he had that Monitor captive, but he wasnt manipulating it in any way. It was still very much itself, and not speaking or behaving in a manner unlike Guilty Spark.
Obviously we all heard the voice in the first few lines of the trailer but I still can't believe that an organic being could be affecting a being that has absolutely no physical incarnation. She's a system of equations and the way the flood takes over humans is to ram that spike into the central nervous system of it's victims (like human spines.)
So how would the flood be able to effect an AI?
EDIT: BTW it's almost 4AM here in CA and i can't sleep so I'm sorry if this has been posted to exhaustion or something but i had to do something to occupy my time and this question has just been bugging the heck out of me every time i hear somebody say that it "sounds like gravemind must have got to cortana."
