Hey im just reposting this because it didnt get much reponce yesterday positive or negative so i dont think people saw it....give me your thoughts.

In the trialer, there has been debate about jsut exactly who is speaking. is it cortana? gravemind? what about both. What just came to me while watching it was what if Gravemind and Cortana realzie the Cheif has some signifigance no other being posseses? As such, they would obviously want to turn them to their wills. Now i realzie no one realy knows the gravemind's intentions for the universe, (besides overuning it with the flood.) but we could be looking at a "cheif deciding who to side with" situation. Also note that in the first line, i have defied gods and demons, the voice seems very gravemind-ish. In the second,i am your sheild i am your sword, it sounds a bit more like cortana. And the last one, i know you- your past, your future sounds exactly like cortana. this could be both of them talking to the cheif through her. one other thing to note is that when "i am your sheild i am your sword is said, there is an "i" in the fromt of every line. that would imply that a new sentance is beging and thus two people are speaking.

I have defied Gods and demons- could be gravemind, refering to the forerunners and perhaps the flood, humans or covenant. or cortana, refering to the gravemind as the demon. However, i cannot think of anyone cortana would call a "god"

I am your sheild, i am your sword- This quote is lost to me and i beleive it refers to acts made by both gravemind and cortana throughout the game(Halo 3) to aid the master cheif to perhaps gain his favor.

i know you....your past, your future- could be gravemind refering to his great knowledge of the universe and its past. (this would also be refering to cheif existing some thousands of years ago, but thats another story....) or it could be cortana, saying she has been his long time ally, knowing his past, and perhaps even his future after having a few chats with the gravemind.

in the end, my thoughts are,

i have deifed gods and demons-spoken by gravemind
i am your sheild i am your sword- spoken by both cortana and gravemind
i know you...your past-your future- spoken by cortana


thanks for reading! and any thoughts postivie or negative you have.

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

Also, when you do see Cortana in the trailer sometimes she seems innocent and normal cortana... while sometimes she seems evil and seems to be.. possessed.

I think Gravemind is using her to communicate with the chief.

We will just have to see.

Wakka Wakka Wump!
No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

i think cortanas is sayin i am ur sheild,i am ur sword. in the books cortana helped him out by pinpointing and sayin what was gonna attack him,and she is his sword because in the books she turned a plasma weapon into a continues beam,makin a rather dagger like weapoin in to a sword

I think the whole thing is cortana, note the first two lines are said under a tunnel...

what happens when your listening to the radio and drive your car under a tunnel, it gets scrambled signal.

The 3rd line that sounds like cortana is said out in the open, where he'd be getting perfect reception.

I just don't think bungie wants to put grave mind in the first bungie trailer for halo 3, maybe the second...

You can hardly call that thing a tunnel.... Thats just stupid... You can listen to a radio in your room... with the windows closed, and its fine... that is a shalter with holes all over it, signals can get it.

And they might want Gravemind in the first trailer, if he is important part to the story.

i think its all her but it doesn't seem like her, cuz shes talkin philisophical like gravemind does so maybe its him. as far as the reception goes i think macmnc has a point. a satellite signal can only point straight down and the cheif walking through what im calling debris( cuz its not a tunnel) could cause the signal to momentarily scramble. also if she is broadcasting halfway across the galaxy there is a number of reasons why the signal is scrambled.

Go to your room!


...Well I'm glad that worked, because those would have been terrible last words.

Why has no-one ever thought of this before!
