Maybe halo killed the Dinosaurs....

I gave that some thought too but the evidence of the Great Asteroid (all hail the Great Asteroid!!!!) is fairly conclusive.
I've decided if I believe any theory it's a mix of all the ones I've read.
Eagle's got some of the best theories I've heard. In fact, I'm quite certain he's ruined some of the story for us all;)
Who knows.... maybe the dinosaurs were the forerunners!!! Muahahahahah!!!! I've solved it!!!
Or apes...damn dirty apes!

Dun dun dundundun duuuuuunnnnnn!

2. I'm not sure about this but people in Halo universe don't speak English, they speak "Basic." I think its somewhere in the book. GS is an advanced AI and would have no problem learning a language fairly quickly :/ English is not the language of the Forrunner.

I agree. The Covenant somehow 'knew' how to speak English - I don't see why GS would have any problem doing the same...

I must agree with you about Eagles theories, they do have a lot of evidence and thought put to them... but all this stuff about MC's clone, and all that, I just don't buy it. I admit it is possible, but I don't think it is what will happen.

By the way, I used to believe in Forerunner=Human theory, but I changed my mind yesterday (thanks to Eagle). Now I believe in the concept based off a theory posted by Duckbow somewhere in the Speculation Thread. Anyway, it has to do with the Humans not being the forerunner, but being created/related/similar to the forerunner.

MAYBE 343 Guilty Spark was just being a little scientist, and collecting Human history, and archiving it. I mean, maybe in the 100,000 years 343GS was alone, he made a little "History of the universe", and since he just discovered Humans, he wanted to add that "Lost time" to his little "History of the universe" thing. Think about it. It makes sense.

What ELSE is an extremely advanced A.I. (who is insane) going to do with his time?

Well about the "Our lost time," our could simply mean all life as a whole. And the part where he mentions "human history is it," could be separate, simply because he is looking through human history he mentions that... or something like that... ya...

What?
My explanation, along with Eagle 117's theory, makes perfect sense. Humans are NOT Forerunner.

Ermmm.... I don't think your getting me... I am proving that we are not the forerunner, but that quote still has to be explained, and that is what I am trying to do in my previous post.

I'm not all too sure about the 'MC clone theory' either. I could see Ackerson messing with Spartan DNA to some extent but I don't see him cloning as well as Halsey. I like to think the Spartans will be the biggest heroes:) I could see Ackerson messing with Flood DNA and attempting to *maybe* combine it with Spartan genetic alterations - something along those lines.

In fact, I believe Halsey left for another Halo installation to stop Ackerson/ONI from messing around with the Flood. If you think about it, she left only after she learned of the danger of the Flood (reading Cortanas files concerning the Flood). It's quite possible she knew (to some extent) about ONIs discovery of a few Halo installations and after reading Cortanas reports concerning Halo 04 and the release of the Flood, Halsey took off with Kelly in order to stop Ackerson/ONI from possibly releasing the Flood again. Is this a new theory, or have you heard this one before?

This would explain how another Halo installation will be introduced into Halo 2.

In the end, I believe the Flood will become a HUGE problem for both the Covenant and the UNSC.

[color=gold]First of all, Chaplain, you haven't proved much. Your theory is based on one quote from the game which could be interpreted many different ways. Second, half of your "theory" is telling people that it's the correct theory, so they'd better believe it.

What 343 Guilty Spark said could mean a lot of things.

The Forerunner, as far as I know...though GS never did mention who his creators are, exactly. Unless I'm missing something...

Perhaps Ackerson didn't run all those tests with the flood and all that... perhaps the flood was at each ring and contained, and he simply went by and released the flood to keep the covenant busy, maybe even wiping out the covenant. Perhaps he knew the covenants home world was closer to the ring that the humans... and human weapons are more effective against the flood as 343GS states, so maybe Ackerson though he could deal with the flood later somehow...

I really don't know.

It is stated that the forerunners made Halo... and 343GS claims he is a part "this installation," and he could have survived halo, as did the other machines because it seems Halo doesn't destroy planets or objects, it destroys life, and how I see it, the flood can't infect machines. So it would seem to me he was created by the forerunner.

Me? I'm a 100% freakin' Halo sponge. I'm a nutcase who spends his waking hours dissecting all things Halo.

If you mind that - ignore me;)

Don't get me wrong! I'll definately see you in my crosshairs this November.

Until then, It's my mission to see if I can't calculate the yield of the Covenants plasma torpedoes someday...someday...

If your mind is that simple then so be it, don't ruin the fun of investigating the rather large story taking place in Halo, being analytical with things like Halo will pay off if your a real Halo fan. yea Halo is a great FPS, and I've had some awesome times playing MP with friends, and on Halo PC, but try to enjoy the story as well. (to dragg)

I'll see you bastards on the battle field Nov 9th.

Someone writed that AI can't have feelings and they don't learn and they are programmed. But the whole idea of AI is that it learns and thinks almost like us. Therefore it can learn what feelings are Terminator/Arnold does in Terminator 2 he says before he they sink him in to the steel "I know now why you cry" He understands our feelings and can therefor have them himself...

[color=gold]I'm pretty sure the Forerunner built 343 Guilty Spark. Who else has the technology to build him? Unless there's a secret race...nah. The Forerunner.
Also, AI's can express feelings...I think...[/color]

  • 07.10.2004 4:13 PM PDT

Hmm.. I think I'm having a small bit of trouble understanding it. As far as I see it, your saying that... when he said "lost time", he meant his lost time, when he was built by the forerunners? Cause I am not a fan of the idea that Humans are the Forerunners, cause there is no logical way to gain enough metal to create four Halos. Let alone create climates that differ, along the ring. But, I trust you, sort of, cause I have nothing else to trust.
