Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

they are the drect descendants of them it says it in one of the books


Close, I can't give the EXACT page without re-reading the book but it says they CLAIM to have evolved from a Forerunner planet or homeplanet.

As someone already pointed out. They are imitators... they worship the Forerunner like Gods. And like religions of today people of each faith where symbols representing said faith. All those symbols you see are Forerunner because they are trying to BE like them.

my theory about why the prophets are in there are that they are going to find some new forrunner tecnology thats gonna change the way the war is going

Prophets claim to all the other races that they are descendents of the FR... but actually humans are and thats why the prophets tell the covies to kill us... because we are a threat... in an older time there was a war, not sure who between an why but the flood have a MAJOR, MAJOR factor in this old war so does 343 GS, i think that the prophets use to be like our servents or they coexisted with use but they betrayed us (guilty spark? unleash the flood) this meant we had to use the halo's and meant we had to go back to our homeworld, earth where the greatest forerunner technology of all exists...
The covies have found there way to earth... MC arrives just in the nick of time to uncover the secrets of FR technology on earth and uses this to repel the covies.. but before they retreat they find something, with the help of guilty spark... they then have to go to installastion 004 to retrieve the index and use the final FR technologies to complete whatever they are building... MC is a saviour he goes to the covie home system and takes the fight to them...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Index is no longer on installation 004. Cortana took it remember? The last 3 levels were about 343GS trying to get it back from us.

Perhaps they are false prophets who use Forerunner technology to exhibit god like powers like the gaould in StarGate SG1 show

I havent read the whole thread so I'm sorry if I'm just repeating whats already been said but:

1) The covenant may have based their written language on the forerunner symbols or

2) The covenant may have marked those area of 343 Guilty Spark level meaning they werent actually on halo to begin with.

hey ash, I like #2, now that i think about it, those symbols are only found on 1 single player level(343)

  • 07.01.2004 5:47 AM PDT

Yeah they are just ideas. The prophets maybe are linked to the forerunner somehow like in #1 unless its completely their own language like in #2...

They better have alot more info in H2 than in H1. Everything I know is from the books and not the gamplay. I'd like to see more of the story in the actual game.

yeah, i was thinking along those lines too

Dont worry. Bungie is hell bent on "telling a great story" so they will pack their few cutscenes with layers of detail I guess. You probably won't be disappointed.

Im sure I wont be. Anyway, I am sure that the prophets are up to somthing, maybe somthing some of the covie races arnt even aware of.

"Like all members of his caste, 'Fulsamee knew that the Prophets has evolved on a planet which the truth givers (ie Forerunner, and don't say it isn't) had previously inhabited."

Also alot of Covenant language derives from the Forerunner and their symbols so its only natural that they appear on the Covenant.

What? You said that the "truth givers" are prophets? Now read this: The Prophets had evolved on a planet that the prophets has perviously inhabited? That makes no sense. Do you mean that the "truth givers" are the forerunner?

yes, the truth givers are the forerunner. they went away and the prophets evolved on one of their abadoned worlds. it answers pretty much everything about this symbol speculation

Oh well you put "truth givers (i.e. prophets)" So was that a mistake? because it confused the hell out of me...

This is what it says about the Prophets:

The role of the Prophets, for as long as can be recalled, is to archive, explore and locate Forerunner technology and artifacts. These intelligent, highly evolved beings are physically weak, hence their need for Elite allies. The pact allows the prophets to advance their search through conquest and occasionally assimilation of species whose homeworlds or solar systems contain Forerunner architecture or technology, often unguessed at by the resident species. Prophet ceremony and purpose is not generally known to the Covenant population, most of whom simply trust in their wisdom to further the goals and territory of the Covenant.

Unless I cannot read it says NOTHING about having evolved on a Forerunner planet. Now, onto The Flood. You are correct in that quote however, yet that does not make it so. Would you not lie to your own races claiming to be as close to as possible to what you consider Gods? This is the Prophets way of almost securing thier place at the head of the Covenant. I'm not convinced in the least bit. Also, I agree about the symbols, they use them as a sign to show what they beleive.

lol ok (the "and dont say it isn't" also made it more confusing because it seemed like you were adamant [spelling?] in insisting that it WAS a prophet...) :S
