Hey sumthing i wanna know is why are the Covenant attacking Earth in H2, they usually just glass all the planets they want to destroy, does Earth have some kind of big religious value or they just want to see all of the human's technology?

p.s. i know this topic was brought up before and i have read all the halo books and it never once really goes bery deeply into forerunners or what they are...so i hope H2 says sumthing.

Here's a theroy that i put together about the forunner. The spartans are the forunner which means that humans are forunner. also all the info you need about the plot on halo is in halo1 on the multiplayer level damnation your on the covenant home world in a processing plant but in some places there is dripping flood blood so i think in h2 the covie homeworld will be taken over by the flood.

i hope that if there are forerunners, that they are nothing like the flood. Personally, i think halo 1 would of been much better without them. It makes it look like just another zombie shoot em up game. The flood suck. Have Some sick forerunners like -blam!- elites or something. U can at least put a laugh in the game.

Maybe they arent glassing Earth becuase theres another Rock they need. Or maybe becuase the MC distroyed their fleet, they need to build up another one, and all the Covenant can do is land troops. The reminets of the UNSC might off held off the last of the Covenant fleet.

What the hell does that have to do with the Forerunners. I think its time to retire this old thread. Someone think up some new and interesting topic. :)

No, its just stupid people that put it off topic. This is a good discussion of the Forerunners.

well if you think about it, everyone was off topic cuz the actual subject is "are the forerunners extinct" all people did was say who they thought they were related to.

OK then, lets go back to the subject.........

On Two Betrayals, I took a Banshee and a sniper rifle on tour of the huge ring hologram in the control room. i noticed that in a couple of places, there are oval "signs" pointing to the surface of the ring. i wonder if those point to A) Places we have been or B) Flood Installations........


I Think this may have been mentioned b4

hold up a bit, u guys r getting way to complicated. i think the forerunners are just an ancient race that has no connection to covie or human and they built these halo rings to house different psycho aliens (like on another halo ring there might be another kind of alien species that can do the same damage and wipe out the universe). so they built these to keep everyone else in the universe safe. and the covies happen to worship the forerunners like gods becasue they have all this advanced technology. or maybe the forerunners aren't even extinct, maybe they're just watching the covies and humans blow each other up, and/or maybe (this is a pretty cool thought) the covies are just a race that the forerunners failed to house and put on a ring so the covies broke out of the forerunner's grasp and became very advanced, and made a good society, (wait thats a really good idea), thats also maybe how they got the advanced technology so quickly.

TRU DAT TO YOUR FOOTER BOUT HALO 2 COMPARED TO HALO 1

hey whats up guys im back and i have to say something to Leetard.Without the Flood,the Halo construct would have no real purpose,the story would be much shallower,and the game just wouldnt be the same.i like the feeling of suspense u get when u play 343 Guilty Spark for the first time.and the adrenaline rush u get when ur in a heated Flood battle in the Library on Legendary.its good to have a change rather than fight the same 4 types of Covenant throughout the game. if u dont like it well......u just have to deal with it cuz the Flood are back in Halo 2 and i dont think a lot of people are complaining

Then how did the Covenant get ahold of all the Forerunners technology, Cortana states the Covenant are not creative and they use there weapons insufficiently. And the Elites armor is made by the Forerunners. 343 GS also mistakes the MC for someone who set off Halo a long time ago, probaly a Forerunner.

well 343 guilty spark is probably so far out of the loop using him as proof wouldn't work. He is like on his own but that doesn't mean that they aren't still there and won't come back. If they did still exist I don't think they would be to concerned to call him up and let him know they're there even if they havn'e forgotten about him

its pretty simple...the forerunner created both the flood, who they were able to contan on the halo rings, and they created the Covenant (all the races of them). The covenant were able to succesfully rebel against the forerunner...and hey wait...this sounds a lot like 'Starcraft'.

OK but seriously, the forerunner i believe are a different race altogether and they are gonna come back eventually, but probably in the end of halo 2,leaving them for halo 3! Oh and they are gonna kick major @$$ when they do come back.

I'm not sure if they're extinct. I think there is a high possibility that they could come back in Halo 2.
