I think that the forerunners might have actually been humans. Think about it...why would the covenant want to destroy humans so bad when they have assimilated every other race that they encountered? It's because the humans are the forerunners and they still may pose a threat to the covenant. Everytime MC has run across one of the controls from the forerunners he has somehow known how to use it. How would he be familiar enough to do that unless the forerunners were once humans?

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but what if Dr. Halsey (the doctor who created the Spartans) knew something about the Forerunner through her ties with ONI, and implanted the information as basic instincts into her Spartans? That would explain why John knew how to operate the panels and terminals, and also would set up a Forerunner appearance in Halo 2.

I'm just saying maybe...

You never know...

Maybe ILB is counting down to the release of a Forerunner render...

Maybe Cortanna knows how to use these control panels. Or maybe they are all the same structure. I'm just thinking these up though.

Your theory is very good IMO acctually, i have one simmilar to it though, maybe the forerunners come back to help the humans?

What gets to me is "Chose accordingly"

Maybe ins tory mode you can play as spartan or a covenant?

No, the Prophets worship the Forerunner, and the rest of the Caste's follow their lead. It says in First Strike at the end that the Elites follow the Prophets so that the Elites may gain the honor of battle, and Prophets use the Elites to gain military might. Also, if the Prophet's are you using the Forerunner as a medium for political gain, then I think a revolution would take place if the Forerunner were to suddenely appear, don't you? So naturally if Humans were Forerunner, then the Prophets would seek to eliminate them before the tru7h could escape and topple their empire.

Bungie workers are funny...

Not cruel...

And if ILB turned out to be a joke...

That would make them cruel...

And dead, in the proverbial sense...

At least to me...
