Subject: Will Reach reveal engineers to be Forunners

Been playing since pong, and you?

I am an easter egg guy. I have found several images on maps that suggest Engineers may be Forunners. What do you think?

  • 10.19.2009 8:11 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Sigh.

We already know Engineers are Forerunner creations.

We're known for years.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

humans are forerunners.

confirmed over 2 years ago. guilty spark says it 100% clear as day right before he kills johnson.

This is wrong. He says 'You ARE Forerunner', but if we look through the terminals, that's impossible unless they interbred with humans. Spark just has us mixed up.


As for OP...You really should have read at least one of the novels. The engineers are a forerunner construct, similar to Spark but (IMO) much more complicated.

"The Forerunner seem to be genetically identical to the humans, which can be corroborated by the Iris Server-05 message about the humans providing "answers" to the Forerunner's own "mysteries", and Mendicant Bias's own declaration in Halo: Contact Harvest. This also explains why the Prophets ordered the Covenant to exterminate humanity; knowing that they are the Forerunner's descendants."

We are descendants of the Forerunners or rather I would say that we have just been passed on the title of Forerunner rather than being actual Forerunners.

...genetically identical to the humans..."
not a title. humans are decendants, and are the same species.

Humans are direct descendants of the forerunners you moron. I hope you re kidding.

in case you haven't noticed, the covenant have needed humans to activate the more advanced forerunner technology and equipment, which implies that we are forerunners, or at least their descendants.

  • 10.19.2009 10:34 PM PDT

if you read harvest *spoiler ahead*

























































an oracle called humans the forerunners im not sure of the page it ias on but remember reading it.

*Sigh*

Spark thought Chief was forunner because he was INSANE! Rampant to be precise, being left along for 100, 000 years did that to him.

Humans were saved from the Halo rings by Forunners because we showed signs of possible Sapien Intelligence.

Then why aren't we a super advanced race? We are descendants to actual original Forerunners.

if humans arent forunner than explain why forunner tech only works with humans? the rings wouldnt fire for the prophet so he had to force johnson to try to fire it.

From Halopedia

Chronologically, the title of Reclaimer is first used by Mendicant Bias, as described in Contact Harvest. While correcting the Covenant's misinterpretation of the Luminary's readings, Mendicant applies the term to a large portion, if not the entirety, of the human population on Harvest. Mendicant also claims that the humans are his makers, which corroborates what 343 Guilty Spark says to the Master Chief in Halo 3: "You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner." After Mendicant, the next known bestowal of the title is when Guilty Spark addressed Sergeant Marvin Mobuto in Halo: The Flood. Following Mobuto's death and Spark's first meeting with SPARTAN-117, the title is laid upon the Master Chief. 2401 Penitent Tangent also instantly recognized the Master Chief as a Reclaimer. In addition to the Chief, both Commander Keyes and Sergeant Johnson are referred to as Reclaimers, and 343 Guilty Spark seems to show them the same respectful attitude that he shows the Chief. Professor Anders seemed to be able to access Forerunner artifacts better than Regret and was likely considered a Reclaimer.

It is also important to note when the term "Reclaimer" is not applied. All Covenant species are viewed as intruders or "meddlers" and are unable to access and fully utilize the Forerunner weapon systems found in the Halo Rings and on the Ark, which is why the Prophet of Truth had to force Sgt. Johnson to activate the rings in Halo 3.

Any human is considered a 'Reclaimer' but we just don't know for sure if we have Forerunner genetics or if we were chosen by them to continue their legacy although it definitely seems to be a bit of both.

Engineers are not Forerunners!!!!!!!! So stop making up stuff that's doesn't make any sense!!!!!!!!
