forerunners were an ancient religeon that made great technology, they are all dead now ( not 100% sure), But the prophets are using the convenant to get ahold of the ancient forerunner technology.

The Forerunner is a long-gone god-like race that once inhabited the galaxy. They are the "Gods" of the Covenant's theology, and the Covenant's technology is based mainly on what they have plundered from Forerunner relics. The Forerunner are the fellas who built the Haloes in the first place. You can find more info on the Forerunner, as well as speculation on who they are etc here.

So they're the people who built Halo and all the structures on it.
OK thanx

Come on, you know that's not allowed, flamechu. His was a perfectly reasonable question. Just because he hasn't read all the books doesn't mean he deserves that sort of stupidity. I haven't bought any - I just got my school library to get FoR and FS, I won the Flood. So get over yourself.

The thing is, th4thhunter, you aren't acting any better than flaming x. At least he's been showing some maturity, even as you persist in trying to bait him. Grow up.

Ok, lets get back ON TOPIC about the forunner(s). Evreybody seems to assume they are an alien race, but think for just two seconds. What happens if it was one Super Entity or something?? It wwould definitly be an interesting twist.... The fact that it is just stated as the forunner (never giving indication to more than one) would lead me to believe that Bungie had plans for this confusion.

Yeah, and it's "Forerunners" in the books (even though Cortana specifically says "Forerunner" throughout the game itself).

well think about it when your talking about human bulidings, ship, etc. You don't say "hey that is a humans structure" you would say "that is a human structure".
