Line 55:

Gravemind's "Pure Form" would resemble the normal form that we see him in. It would either be immovable (in which case it would merely defend the Flood base and sit in the middle of it) or slow to move. The "Combat Form" would resemble the one-eyed, mobile, combat-adept form the Gravemind takes in 'Halo Legends'. This version would be able to move around the map and absorb enemy units to ~~increase~~ its health. The "Carrier Form" would resemble a highly mutated Forerunner vessel with huge growths coming out of it. Upon docking near an enemy vessel, one of the various growths would burst and infect the ship (they always grow back though); after a given period the infected enemy ship would become fully controllable by the Flood.

The final level in the game could let the player play Offensive Bias and try to fend off the Mendicant Bias's forces long enough for the Didact to activate Alpha Halo. At the end of the game, the twist could be that when the Didact removes his helmet before firing the Halo, that he looks very human (with perhaps unusually colored eyes and other somewhat alien features), indicating that the Forerunners and humans have a common ancestry. (The Forerunners could be descended from humans enlightened by the Precursors, but their home of origin had been lost to them until Earth was rediscovered at the end of the Forerunner-Flood War. This would verify the Librarian's claims that the humans of Earth are "special" and Guilty Spark's claim in 'Halo 3' that "You [Master Chief] are Forerunner.")

Also, that would explain why Earth plant life is present on Forerunner installations, as the Precursors could have brought them along with the humans who would become the Forerunners to Forerunner worlds, perhaps in order to terraform them.

In any event, that might be a really fun game to play! - [[User:Webspidrman]] 18 January 2010 (UTC)
