Gravemind Gameplay + New Cinematic Trailer - Halo 2: Anniversary
Adam91 posted a article in Other Articles
Greenskull from Ready Up Live has posted a gameplay video of the level "Gravemind" from Halo 2: Anniversary. In the video we get to see the Gravemind himself in the cutscene created by Blur and a playthrough of the entire level. We are just under 2 weeks away from the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and no doubt this will get fans more excited to jump in and finally play it themselves. 343 Industries has also just release a new cinematic trailer for Halo 2: Anniversary and if you play attention to it we see recreated footage from Blur of the cutscene "Another Day at the Beach". That cutscene was a bonus scene that was included in Halo 2's Multiplayer Map Pack that showed what happened to the crew from second Pelican that was shot down by the Scarab in the Outskirts cutscene from Halo 2. Could we be seeing this bonus material in Halo 2: Anniversary? It sure looks like it. Leave us your thoughts in the comment section below. -

With Halo 2: Anniversary (and MCC) coming out this November, I thought we could look back and think of our very favorite missions from the 15(13) mission long campaign of Halo 2. Halo 2's campaign offered some very fun moments, and with it some great memories. What missions did you find the most enjoyable, had the greatest moments, or were just plain fun and became your favorites? For me, I would vote for the two missions: High Charity and Metropolis. High Charity was one of my favorites because of the sheer chaos of the entire mission. Brutes, Elites, Flood, and other Covenant troops all battling it out as the Great Schism of the Covenant happens right before your eyes. The chaos gives way to very fun battles to watch, and a mesh of fights you can join into yourself and kick some Covenant butt. Metropolis is loved by me for about a couple things. Scarab Gun, The fight on top of the scarab, Scorpion, and loads of other vehicular man(alien)slaughter events. A close second to these two would be Uprising. Killing Monkeys was never so much fun...

Hello everyone, well as a fan of this great series of games, I wanted to give my opinion about who should be the primary and most lethal enemy, not only of the next halo 5, if not the next issues. In the previous trilogy fight the main enemy, the Covenant and then the enemy origianl emerged: the Flood. The Flood was led by Gravemind, which is known to be the precursor Primordial / Eternal mentioned in the book series, Primordium, Cryptum and Silemtium. After seeing so many hilarious pictures of this being (I've seen from praying mantises to a Buddhist monk with four arms and a kind of giant meatball) here I bring you my picture and as I believe and many believe it should be the eternal reality. I propose and hope that some managers of 343 read this, that the fiercest enemy of the galaxy will emerge from the ashes to threaten everything again and this time not as Gravemind but as the Eternal.

What is the Gravemind? The Gravemind is the super-intelligent controlling unit of the Flood. It is a collectivization of the minds of the beings which it has overrun with its 'disease,' and is capable of controlling countless units of mobile Flood at once, through some sort of telepathy. The Gravemind then uses these thoughts/memories/intellects to expand its ever-noble cause: to consume all sentient life in the galaxy. *However there is a problem. As shown from the terminals in Halo: CEA, the Gravemind forces its victims into submission. It is made up of innumerable minds of countless species, which in 'life,' had many different beliefs and agendas, and yet it consists of one, powerful consciousness. THEN WHOSE CONSCIOUSNESS CONTROLS ALL THOSE MINDS? WHOSE CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE GRAVEMIND ITSELF? There is an answer. In Halo: Primordium, the Prisoner of Charum Hakkor (the Primordium), claims to be the last Precursor, the race of beings that preceded the Forerunners, that were even more advanced. This Precursor says to the Forerunner commander, the Didact, "We meet again, young one. I am the last of those that gave you breath and shape and form, millions of years ago. I am the last of those your kind rose up against and ruthlessly destroyed. I am the last Precursor. And our answer is at hand." At the end of the story, this Precursor is revealed to be a Gravemind. This 'Prisoner' was allegedly killed by the Didact in a reverse time capsule. I believe that the time capsule killed the body of that Gravemind, but the consciousness of the Gravemnd was preserved. In Halo: CEA, The oracle has a conversation with a mysterious 'construct.' In response to the Oracle's question, the construct says, "I serve, none serve me, Oracle." (He serves the will of the Precursors, but none are left to serve him) He continues to say, "We follow the path, and I am part of the -stone, -journey, -swarm that serves... I, we, serve. They will find, then I will be free." -Throughout the Halo's, the Gravemind refers to itself both as I and We. The Flood is being held 'prisoner' in the Halo. The Gravemind in Halo 3 says to Chief, "Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness. A father's sins, cast to his sons." -Humans are noted as 'Reclaimers' by the Forerunners, and there is evidence to suggest that that humans are from Forerunner lineage. This shows that the Gravemind is still exacting judgement on the Forerunners, even though they are gone (or are they?). In conclusion, I believe that the Gravemind is the consciousness of one of the Precursors, who are said to be 'transsentient' by the Forerunners. Much of their technology dealt with the mind. This makes sense seeing that the Gravemind has such a strong will and can communicate telepathically. I believe that this Precursor/Gravemind will be the primary antagonist later in the new Halo trilogy, because there are so many hints in Halo: CEA and Halo: Primordium that would not be worth discussing if it were otherwise.

From the album: b0b is here's maps
ZombieSitter: designed for flood and gravemind The map is titled "ZombieSitter", is set in Ravine, and is an asymmetrical teleporter map. Players traverse the map one of two ways. By utilizing either the "recycler teleporters" (Jump off the map at various speeds/angles/physical positions, and teleport throughout the map) players can cycle throughout the map by jumping directly off to what would otherwise be death. The teleporter then transports the player to one of the many reciever nodes hidden throughout. This map is purely for flood and gravemind. Elaborating on the term "zombiesitter", the map drops the flood off at the top of the map, and the spartans babysit with their guns. There is nowhere to hide in this map, so last man standing zone exists across the entire playable area. Adittionally, Ordinance may be called in to assist with the babysitting. -
