i think that maybe the forerunners gave the human race a boost on evolution as well as for the covenant, but despite the fact that the covenant were more advanced the forerunners played favorites with the human race somehow and that ticked off the covies. now they're just mad at the human race and want revenge. that's why they want 'em all dead and are trying to collect a whole bunch of forerunner artifacts to impress them and get them on their side again.......but i'm probably way off

Funny thing about this topic is that there will probably be no real reason the landed in Africa. The covies had to land on a continant, and, ruling out Antarctica, they had a one in six shot at hitting Africa. I hope they don't do anything with the pyramids because finding out the pyramids are artifacts from an ancient alien race wouldn't be very original.

Anther thing. this is to prove my heory that the forerunners have encountered humans at one point. when you first meet 343GS or any point during the library keep shoooting him, he'll say some stuff like "we have more important things to do" but one thing he says thats odd is "Please stop. Dont be human" now many philosephers etc say that mankind is a species whos natural instinct is to kill blah blah blha. Now how would 343gs, know about humans, and thier instinct to fight, kill etc etc. Obviously the forerunners have come across them before, and it is in 343gs memory Databanks also 343 aint dead. Look at the end of halo, you see him flying away around space. heh heh. that guys so cool!

343GS also says. "how nice to catch up with all of ower lost times"this is@POA(piller of autum)Reactor at the end of the game.
Now i dont know if this is related or anything, but i thought it was worth saying;)

true. have you got aim, yim, or msnim? id like to discuss theorys with ya. lol. as for 343 gs, I beleive his survival from halo one is significant. i beleive trapped inside his ai construct somewhere is the entire history ofthe forerunner race. And maybe in halo 2 at one point ya gotta go searching for him across the universe? lol

what i mean is, humans are the only ones that actuall kill thier own species on purpose and without reason some times, as well as kill other species.

True True. BUT we dont fight each other now, we fight together, as one you might say.;D
Maybe the covi fought each other in the early days in a much more primative age. Or sumthin of that perspective.

This theory is awesome. It kicks the crap out of all my lame ones. But it is ture that the whole alien/pyrimid is quite over used. If any of you have played Serious Sam... the whole game was trying to get to the pyrimids and summoning some space ship. It opened up and you had to kick the crap out of some big worlock guy. Im not saying that your theory isn't the best I've heard, but I'm just saying it's kinda over used. Oh and I don't think the Flood could be enclosed in the pyrimids becasue of all those -blam!-s that open them up. We'd all be dead. :(

one more thing. Could Humans and covi's be related???
its a long shot in the dark, but not in the way of DNA but more in the idea of ower anssesters.(forerunners)
but as i say long shot, but hey this is all fiction. this means in reality this is a totaly different univers.:-o

Subject: my own theory on the humans anf fore-runners
  • gamertag:
  • user homepage:
  • last post: 01.01.0001 12:00 AM PDT

My own theory is based on certain things that the "little flying guy" (sorry major brain fart) said. My theory is that the fore-runners are exitnct in one sense. Humans are the fore-runners. What i mean by that is we are the last colony that the fore-runners placed anywhere. When their civilization ended, for what-ever reasons, Earth was cut off from what-ever happened to the fore-runners.

The Sgs 343(?!?) what-ever his name is, mentioned that he was surpirsed that MC did'nt bring proper weapons, wondered why he was so unprepared, wondered why MC didn't know the proper protocule, also was very excited about the entire human history. Also seeing that he thought the MC was sent by the "fore-runners" based on the armor MC was wearing, it goes to show that our technology isn't far off from the fore-runners tech. It could be that we as a species came to the same technological conclusions as the fore-runners because it could be an ingrained memory of the ancient past. Or maybe i'm reading way too much into a simple coment. :)

as i say, this is all fiction. So lets forget the theory of evolution(in non-ficion)or whatever science has shown us. everthing we sayed could of happened, this is what sci-fi is all about and everyone is forgtting this:-o

SB-117

Thats true I believe that humans are catching up with the forerunners technology. (the suit of a spartan for example is similar to that of a forerunner suit).

(We know this because the covenant use the same designs as our suit, yet they stole it from the covenant [the cheeky bastards :P])

So technically, humans are forerunner but a link is yet to be discovered by any of us :S Maybe we'll find out in Halo 2. Perhaps covies hate us because we choose not to copy the forerunner tech like them. "Neah, we don't need it, we can make better technology" thats probably what the covenant think of us. Kind of like Jesus claiming to be the son of god and people wanting him dead for that purpose (that could be a link to the bible which bungie tend to do)

So perhaps Covenant hate us because of our blasphemy. Just think, they are ACTUALLY killing their gods!! and saying that it is the will of us. Ironic.

That brings me to this point. Why did the covenant not just glass Earth? Maybe the delayed the destruction because they are looking for something on Earth, something forerunner? Covenant only search for forerunner artifacts so thats what they must be looking for. We know they are looking for this artifact on Earth because they havent glassed it yet. perhaps in Halo 2 they actually realise from this artifact that we are there gods and they are totally gob-smacked. That would be the bigegst twist ever lol.

I hope I am wrong though as I want the story to be a surprise but I guess it would also be cool to play through the story and realise I have nailed everything lol. That would be satisfying.

However, one thing I cant understand is how we are the forerunners. People say that they dropped us on earth and left a sign that they were here but that would be wrong because unless the forerunner are apes I don't see that happening. Human evolution has already been mapped.

So if anyone has any good ideas of how we are linked to the forerunners please share your ideas.

I apologise for the long post BTW. I cant really summarise it so I guess it will go unread by some :S

Way back when the Egyptians used said that the pyramids use to point towards an "Immortal Place" throughout the stars..... could these actually be pointing to the other Halos... perhaps the Forerunner put them there to lead us to them... or the Covenant want them for that exact reason... to find the other Halos

if thats true maybe "the immortal place" is the resting grounds of the remaining forerunners, or the burial grounds of them, which hapens to have all thier history and secrets etc :P

Now were gettin somewhere.. That would explain about why when you go into Pharoes graves you find out alot about them. That and there is a huge stone tablet with all of the Pharoes from Egypt that might have something to do with something but I am not sure yet...
