Fun fact: Dee Bradley Baker isn’t actually a human, that’s how he does the Gravemind voice. Those aren’t added effects, that’s him mutating his vocal cords
You can do the same voice as well. Simply breath in as you rumble your voice like a growl while deeping your voice as high up in your throat as possible (just above the adams apple for reference). Now, start talking. Then, watch Dee and his movements, those arn't just for show, it allows him to shift the voice around. In the same way, shift the grumbling voice down just below your adams apple. One last piece, your lips shouldn't be moving like a normal person talking, again watch how Dee moves his lips (notice his teeth hardly open?). I've managed to replicate the voice and the flood sounds doing this. It's fun to do, but harsh on your throat.

Honestly, Halo as a series has some of the best voice acting for fps games. It's really really impressive the quality that the voice actors produce.
Halo and gta games around this time were peak voice acting. Studios stopped hiring A and B list actors and weve seen the quality decrease ever sense.
