ooh....that's neat. I like to think of Gravemind as unique, but that is very possible.

That was a brain form of the flood, Keys was consumed so the flood could find out about the humans. Theres a problem with that thing being gravemind, they were on the Halo and it was blown up, so how could it be gravemind.

Maybe. The way I see it is that the form of a flood host depends on how smart the victim is. Since Keyes was smarter and possessed more tactical knowledge than your average marine (which get transformed into Combat forms) he was instead put to use as a Flood brainform to command ships for the flood. Maybe Graveminds original host was a Forerunner leader, that then transformed into the massive plant-like creature known as Gravemind.

I don't think he means the Gravemind (the one from halo 2), i think he means a Gravemind...

I think it's generally accepted that the Keyes Blob (Brain Form) was on it's way to becoming a Gravemind. Although there is no real evidence, it kinda makes sense in a logical kinda way...

He didn't say the grave mind, he could be another gravemind like creature. And I like that bit about depending on the host.

And yeah so maybe since the Brain from CPT keys was going to be used as like a 'Piolet'? for them to escape on that covenant crusier. And sicne the Flood would find out were earth was becuase of all Key's Nural Implants. go and invade it.

There is a Gravemind on each Halo.

did you actually think that 1 Gravemind could controll an entire friggin AMRADA of Flood?

thats sad dude!

if you paid attention to anything there is more than 1.

the only thing specialy bout the 1 in H2 is that it rebels and really succeds!

but thats just the truth!



=)


No i was no talking about they Gravmind from Halo2 i was talking about maybe a "NEW" one that was starting to form or something, But then MC blows halo up and it deis anyways.

So your sayngg they consumed keys's brain and soul not his body. Because remmeber in hal 1 you kill keys when hes in the flood by punching him in the head. So further more they didnt consume his body but his mind and soul stuff thing.

Wrong, it wasn't on halo, it was on a convenant ship.

I watched the vid on the flood juggernaut and the Keye's blob looked A WHOLE LOT like a juggernaut flood form. Plus the Keye's blob didn't really look like Gravemind except they were both biger than other flood forms but that's just my opinion.

I think it was a begining form of a Gravemind. I think a gravemind is jsut a bunch of peoples brains that are all in one super being! For instance the Gravemind chief encountered could be thousands of milenia old and have the brains of millions of people.

according to the script that got leaked which was announced false, (still dont know tho) Gravemind is Keys. Thats what he evolved into and he escaped b4 the ring was destroyed. Who knows maybe its true, most likely not lol

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

It's a great theory, but the first ring was destroyed.

Wrong the flood can live without their head as the infection form takes control of the body...they just strip the mind of any valuable information.

Yeah, well how long was the time between halo 1 and two? like there millitary callender. BNecuase maybe the "gravemind" escaped through a speccial teleportaion grid that is linkeed to all the Halos. and he went to Delta Halo bnecuase it was closest to him, then it grew to hwat we see today as the gravemind.

Its possiable for him to teleport becuase he did teleport from Delta Halo to High Charity.

I believe that Gravemind has been around for thousands, if not- millions of years. You know how the flood infest human bodies, then take it over? What more perfect of a body to infest then the highest in command! After the flood succesfully took over the cove ship, gravemind resurfaces and gets into the captain. From there he begins his return, and begins to grow again.

The way he was able to escape is the cove probably took over the ship once again (at least the most important parts) and since the covenant are so curious about everything, they take the gravemind flood form back with them as they escape the rest of the carnage (totally possible since the arbiter was the leader of the ship). Since the same troops later went to Halo Delta, that would explain how gravemind got there. Once there, somehow they escape, and this would also explain why flood is found on the Halo Delta.

What do you think?

Short story as to how Gravemind could from one place to another:

Gravemind wouldn't have to teleport, it would just have to decide to stay dormant and let the curious cove pick him up and take him to a safer place (Halo Delta). It's obvious some of the cove got away safe and secure since the Arbiter was the controller of the cove ship in Halo1.
