for the discussion about forerunner being human, i found this on HBO's transcript page for the library. "The installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood. Their survival as a race was dependent upon it. I am grateful to see that some of them survived to reproduce" if gs is talking about MC then maybe it is a possibility.

Ok, but wait, Starwind, probably im noob but... Didn't the Covenant stumble across the halo at the same time the pillar of autumn did? (If im not retarded) why would that make them have anything to do with the covenant? it does say that they find out its a weapon, and it has reliegeous significance... did they previously know that Halo existed? before they chased the pillar of autumn there?

the covies knew about all the halos, they knew about the flood, their technology is based of the forerunners because they pirate the technology, in actuallity the covies probably arent as smart as the humans, they have just had more time to study and pirate the forerunner technology. everything they have gained as a race is based off of the forerunners technology so it has become a religion to them pirating the tech and holding the acients as gods, whoever they may be. the flood could infect the forerunner, but the forerunner were godlike in technology and how advanced they wree as a civilization so they could contain the flood, and study them to figure out why they were so adaptable and probalby us the genetic make up to help themslefs, also the covies stole the shielding and armor from the forerunner, the humans made the armor themself and stole the sheilding from the covies and made the shielding better, so gs notices the sheilding and probalby some of the capabilitys of the armor and recognizes them and so clasifies them.

After reading this crazy topic forever i think i know more than before. If any of u have played Exhibition demo disc volume 2 and watched the Halo Nationals on it there are people from Bungie talking about Halo. One of the guys says that the Humans and Covenant meet on Halo by accident. This was never planned out by the Covenant. So does this also mean that the covenant has never known anything about Halo or the other rings out there? So then Halo and other rings must have been created by the Forerunners and the Forerunners must have made the flood. Hey its just a guess!

Also i have a very very dumb idea. if there happend to be other "Reclaimers" and other beings to try and destroy halo then could Master Chief be like Neo? A whole Matrix type of thing, i dont know. This stuff really does give u wacky ideas!

also, the galaxy is a very large thing, and the covnet and human occupy a very small protion of the galaxy, so it is a possibility that the forerunner live ont he other side, and in other galaxies, the forerunners were masters of everything, they could control gravity, distort reality, and do all sorts of incredable stuff. hell the forerunners could still be on halo when everything happens there and we wouldnt even know it. i still think that humans are directly related to the forerunners just because the way that the mc knew what buttons to push and whatnot, but there are all sorts of possibilities, and bungie is a great corporation and will surely have the best posibility in mind, and stump us all.


ps. bungie is a magical corporation

the last two matrixs sucked big weiner, and yes there are other reclaimers, if you read the books mc came across one of the other ones in the library and was surprised how far the marine made it, but you also notice that he sees no covies as the reclaimers, which also points out the direct relation between humans and forerunners

also in the begining of the two betrayals, when he talks about not doing somethign you have already done before, i think he isnt just saying that to the master chief, but to humans as a race, or forerunners as a race, the gs is just a machine and i dont think he can quite make the connection that we dont know that we are the forerunners, also, i dont think the forerunners are the actual name of the race, cortana calls them that in refrence to who ran halo before all this -blam!- happend, so she just called them the forerunners, because they ran halo 04 before all that -blam!- happend

but i dont think we are the actual forerunners, i think that we evolved from them or something, otherwise the prophets would consider us their gods.

thanks WaRRioR21.

I think, and i've read, that the flood will have something to do with halo 2, like a big something.... do you think that it will be brought off the halo with MC or a marine or some covenant? do you think that humans and covenant will unite or anything? gosh this game is deeper than like the bible

Well.. Bungie confirmed another Halo Strcuture, the first Halo was built to contain the flood. Maybe the covenant know the MC is getting to strong and they release it on earth or something. Thatd be cool.

Well since most of the Covenant species are not that bright and I think the prophets are supposed to be the smart ones in the 'family', they could easily hide it if humans really were the forerunners. Someone mentioned it earlier in this thread.

Anyway, your guess is as good as mine, so you can all keep guessing.

i think the flood will come back, and i thnk that guilty spark will have something to do with it, cuz the last scene of halo he was flying off in space, so he is pissed at the humans, and probalby is gonna screw them with flood, or try to
