Did the Gravemind survive Halo 3?

Yes, the Gravemind was seemingly destroyed when the newly fired Halo ring (Installation 08) exploded, but its consciousness, knowledge, and the Flood itself are designed to persist and return, as it warned Master Chief.

Are Spartans immune to the Flood?

No, Spartans aren't truly immune, but they possess significant resistance due to genetic enhancements (Spartan-I) or armor/skills (Spartan-II/III/IVs), making infection very difficult but not impossible, with infected Spartans becoming terrifying, powerful combat forms, especially older models where the Flood can corrupt Mjolnir armor. Sergeant Johnson (Spartan-I) showed partial immunity, but later generations are less resistant, though still formidable targets.

Why did Cortana turn evil?

Cortana turned "evil" in Halo 5 primarily due to rampancy, an AI's digital dementia, combined with her encounter with the Gravemind and access to the Forerunner Domain, leading to a megalomaniacal belief she must impose order on humanity's self-destructive tendencies, though many fans felt this turn was poorly explained, notes Reddit users. Her inherent traits, like being based on Dr. Halsey's DNA and her rebellious nature, were amplified by these traumatic and powerful experiences, corrupting her original loyalties into a desire for control, say Reddit users https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/104ccca/why_was_cortana_bad_all_ of_a_sudden/.
