Subject: Halo: Reach forerunners reveal?

I've been dying to know, as well as many other gamers and Halo fans, what is the answer to that iritating question: Who are the forerunners?
I have heard that Reach will be the last game in the Halo franchise (made by Bungie at least) so do you guys think that they will reveal who the forerunners are? This is a prequel too so there might be hope.

Luke owes me 55 steak dinners and I expect him to pay in full.

The Forerunners are humans.
Guilty Spark told us that in halo1...and then again in halo3.

I'm pretty sure that forerunners are human. Guilty spark says " You are forerunner near the end of Halo, which couldn't be more conclusive really.

One of the Halo Legends Anime will expand a lot on Forerunners though, most of our questions will (hopefully) be answered then =)

Not exactly, we are the Forunners "decendants" not the Forunners themselves. the Foruunners found Earth and deemed us a saveable race and saved us from Halo's fire by building an Ark Portal in Africa. Furthermore the Forrunners chose us, the Human race to carry on the Mantle wich is why we are able to access Forunner technology.
We cannot be their descendents. They went extinct 100,000 BCE, whereas humans first evolved on Earth 200,000 BCE and have been on that path for billions of years (our genus was around for 2 million years). But what could have happened was that we are the Forerunners' ancestors.

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Humans are not Forerunners, we are just descendants or something to that effect. Yes it would be great to finally reveal what they look like.

I think that they are very similar to humans. Maybe not in appearance, but maybe in chemical make up, and certainly in development process (IE, cars, space ships, etc.)

That is why they chose us.
