Hey I know I will get flammed for this, but as of now I have never seen anyone talk about it. My question is this, how does 343 guilty spark know english? I mean you cant say that he assimilated it from a computer because the first one that he came in contact with was when he was in The Pillar of Autumn. Although Cortana did access his systems so he could have assimilated her data but then again, he was surprised when he saw her in the computer later in the game, so therefore he didnt know she was there. I also realize that he could have some sort of advanced translator installed inside of him but he got every single word correct. Dont you think that he would have misplaced a couple of words? Once again, I know I will get flammed but I was just wondering if anyone knew anything else.

Well, there has been a lot of speculation that the forerunners were human, and she had seen them before, because she calls MC the Reclaimer. Oh yeah its a he.

It's really quite simple. If 343 Guilty Spark didn't speak english, we wouldn't know what the hell he was saying. I doubt that Bungie actually spent time deciding on how 343 knows English. Don't get me wrong, I am a Halo fanatic, but it's just a game, and there doesn't have to be rhyme or reason to every little thing.

ok how about this: 343 GS has a translater.

do you think that an incrediblely advaced race like the forerunners who built many Halos, colonized many planets, contained the Flood, maybe even MADE the flood, and built 343 GS and the Sentinals, plus huge scentfic leaps, do you think that MAYBE they could equip 343 GS with a translator? I mean, Humans have made Grunt translators.

The Gunts are the only race of have a simular language to that of Humans, that is why we understand them. Apart from some slightly different verbs in their Syntax.

I believe that the forerunners are an ancient human like race that Humans of today are Their descendants, and the Covenant are out to kill humans because of something their distant genetic cousins (the Forerunner) did thousands of years ago.
