In Halo, the last level, Called, "The Maw," You get to the bridge, and what do you know, 343 Guilty Spark, is pulling information from Human, databases. He is looking at the "Pillar of Autumn's" computers. And he says this. "You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all of our lost time! Human history, is it? Fascinating." 343 Guilty Spark Said that he just got a record of all of his lost time... "Human History is it?" Human, History. There you go. We, are the forerunner.
1. 343 Guilty Spark said hat he was built by the Forerunners (In the books). Now, when 343 Guilty Spark referred to his lost time, how could it mean anything other than the forerunners? It doesn't that is what he meant.
2. Then, since 343 Guilty spark referred to that lost time, as human history, how could that not mean humans are forerunners...
3. Thirdly, if a long time ago, the forerunners (Now known as humans) were alive, and they built the Halo's. And when the Halo's were activated, and wiped out most of the forerunners, wouldn't that make for millions of years of, "Lost Time?" Hmmmmm..... The humans, are just a patch filling in for the forerunners, The Humans of NOW may not have built the Halo's, but they did build them a long time ago.
I don't want to get too in depth and start contradicting my insight that this is only a game and the plots don't go that far in, but Zuka Zammamee, when talking to the prophets on one occasion, said something about his armor, and the shields and those things, coming directly from the forerunners. They were having a conversation about the shields that Master Chief has, and speculating weather or not it was better than the Jackal's wrist shield. He sounded concerned about the human shields being better. And asked something to the affect of: "Didn't the Forerunner themselves give us this armor and technology?" To the best of my knowledge and memory (Which is extremely good, I read this book about a year ago.) there was no substantial reply to what Zuka inquired. Meaning that they may not have given the Covenant those supplies, and maybe the prophets are using this war for their own advantage...
Now, Eagle117 your question went something along the lines of why did they create a weapon for their own demise. I really don't know why they would do that. Hmm, But here's something, that doesn't prove either way that humans are not forerunners. All that does is prove that we/them have made a stupid invention.
And As for your other idea, if it were fired all sentient life would be destroyed. Okay.... How many years ago was it destroyed? 100,000 years right? Hate to use other people's arguments, but who's system? Earths? Ours? The Covie system? Or the previous more advanced form of humans (i.e. Forerunners.) Which would be very important to recognize, as 343 would only assume his (More his Creators) solar system, he wouldn't automatically assume somebody else’s. And even so 343 acts like he knows the Chief. Do you remember anything from the book? How about The library level. How about that marine. Staff Sergeant Mobuto. Marvin, Mobuto.
"Ah," 343 Guilty Spark said, peering down over the Spartan's shoulder. "The other Reclaimer. His combat skin proved even less suitable than yours."
The soldier looked up over his shoulder. "What do you mean?"
"Is this a test, Reclaimer?" the Monitor seemed genuinely puzzled. "I found him wandering through a structure on the other side of the ring, and brought him to the same point where you started." Page 244 (Bottom paragraphs, word for word.)
That guy. You forget about him? I hope not, I hope nobody would forget about him, because that guy, is a real man. But more to the point. He called him the other Reclaimer. And note, "Reclaimer" is capitalized... That's right, meaning, he isn't just ANY reclaimer, he's the Reclaimer. Human. Not just the Spartans. It isn't just Master Chief that he thinks is the Reclaimer. He is calling human's Reclaimers. Now believe me when I tell you, I am trembling right now, I JUST found that. I feel like saving this on a word doc with the rest of my proof then putting it on the speculation thread. Humans. 343 Calling human's reclaimers.
OH OH and Lastly before I forget. The Forerunner didn't give the armor and weapons and stuff to the covenant (Further proving my point) because in the game and books, 343 says "The other species." While referring to the covenant. And if 343 Doesn’t know who the covenant are, then the forerunner obviously never really made any transactions such as those, and that would conclude that the Covenant are not in contact with the forerunner, placing the forerunner in the spot that the forerunner should be in. (Non-associated with the covenant.)
You guys. Do you see? None of this has holes, none of it has a lie in there, it is all, ever bit of it, based on what the characters said in the books, and in the game. That is what is important, I wouldn't care at all if you guys don't beleive me, I don't care one bit, but you guys don't just not beleive me, you call me stupid, and dumb, for coming up with this, For that, I cannot let that go. Weather you wnat to admit it or not. This is substantial evidence, physical evidence, and reliable evidence that does not include any lies, fictional words, or my own opinions, as many of your topics an thread do include. Please, understand that I am not a liar, and that my "Theory" is ligitimate, so that I can go to sleep without somebody saying I'm dumb for being right. Eagle, you and your supporters first got mad at me for saying that you're taking this too far, and too far in depth. It is, you can't see that? I told my friends about you and they laughed. You're all thinking too hard.
