Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.
About the old/new Forerunner buildings. Which I in parenthesis think is one of the most mysterious and overlooked thing in the story. Cortana even says something like "This lake couldn't have been formed by a vulcanic action, which means that it either was created like this on purpose, or was created by some other catacalysmic event. Sorry, were you trying to shoot something?". And as we already know Cortana is an expert when it comes to geology... I took note that she said "vulcanic action", which I assume is how the Forerunner created all thier mountains; by pouring molten rock on a metal scaffolding. Taking that in mind, I believe that some kind of meteor has created the lake. But if you take a closer look at some of the buildings, it looks like if they have taken some damage, some bridges are even down. And you all know what happens in the end of the level, with the Gravemind welcoming the Chief to share his grave. Was this perhaps how he came to Delta Halo? However, this leaves me with a question, were all the building near and in the lake buildt after the "cataclysmic event"? In that case, by whom? Really crappy sentinels?
Whomever buildt them, also buildt those on both Sandtrap and Sandbox, which in both cases are located in the middle of a new Forerunner construction, and as thier names teases with, sand does not come in a shortage (they are probably on the same planet). Another interesting thing is that the Forerunner dont seem to want anything getting out, away from the old temple like buildings.
Im still not sure, but Ive come to the conclusion that the old buildings might have been moved to these locations, and that they are indeed really old. Remember, the Halos were built during the Forerunner/Flood war, but these old buildings seem much.. older.

Is it possible that Mendicant Bias was on Forward Until Dawn, therefore he knew where to slice the ship in half?
Or when Cortana fought with him during the end of Halo 2 he hid himself within Cortana which could explain why Cortana was able to find her way out of rampancy.
Maybe thats why Cortana persistently -and rather overdramaticaly- talks about shields, swords, how the world ends etc? She might have had a conversation with MB before he left High Charity. Maybe falling into the clutches of the Gravemind was planed long before?..
