"Well, if there is only one Gravemind, and he is on inst. 05, then who is to say he didn't try to stop MC on inst 04? If it is true and he does control the flood, he was doing a whole lot to stop MC. His mental influence may be able to stretch further than his tentacles."
I was thinking the exact same thing. Everything seems to indicate that there is only one gravemind and if that is so and he does control the flood, his power must be able to reach across the entire galaxy. If so, he must have known what was going on on the first Halo. When the flood attacked MC, it had to have been under Gravemind's order since he is their consciousness.
"im thinking they have limited control. it wouldnt make sense if he could control all flood. every move would be coordinated and planned. he just doesnt seem that smart. especially if he has to ask cortana for info. if he was that omnisceint, then he would already have access to the knowledge stored in all the halos combined"
I am also a little curious about this as well. If Gravemind is controlling them all and he is so smart, why are the flood not fighting in a ranked, more efficient formation instead of flopping around like they are on caffeine highs during battle?
