there has been lots of talk about this, I was playing through the game again and heard some info that nobody has really mentioned.

When Cortanna steals the index back from guilty spark and tells MC what Halo is capable of.

Guilty spark acts suprised and says this

"last time you asked me if it was up to me (or maybe it was if given a choice) would I do it (set off halo), and I have had considerable time to query this. The answer is yes.... "

not exactly word for word, but it definately seems that someone almost identicle to the MC was on Halo before.

sorry if this has already been talked about, there is no search feature that I can see on this site.

I know the idea of forerunners being human has been discussed alot, but I don't think anyone has referenced that conversation? if so I apologize.

[color=lime] WTF is up with people leaving responses that do not help at all? Its obvious the thread creator is interested in the subject...HBO, why would you write that?

I've thought about this too. Its interesting because 343 unlike humans, doesn't just forget things. Its also obvious he isn't going crazy because he was built to maintain the Halo facility for thousands of years. Otherwise none of the halo's could be maintained for so long. He probably hasn't learned much since he last spoke with who ever activated the ring, so there is really no reason for him to go rampant or act our of the ordinary.

So again, with that in mind, how could he mistake MC for someone else unless MC, or someone just like him, has already been there?

I guess the story goes as, the Forerunners landed on earth after concealing the rest of the flood into the Halo. And so they built Pyramids, thus why they pointed upwards towards the sky to command the Halo.. or something like that, i forgot , but it was mentioned in previous threads.

Halos, plural, there has to be more than one. 343 says "this facility only has a range of xxxx lightyears, but it will activate other stations in order to clean the whole galaxy"

[color=gold] something else to thnk about, 343 talks to MC and says, "you" When saying the quote at the top of this thread, however he did encouter a reclaimer before hand even before MC met 343. Even after all this, 343 still says, "you" to MC as if he really has found the last person that helped him activate the ring 100,000 years ago. Maybe its nothing, but it seems that whoever helped 343 the first time looks strikingly similiar to MC. Remember, 343 was built by an advanced race. He is not stupid.[/color]

it would be quite a coincidence for humans to create troops that looked identicle to forerunner troops (even if humans were decended from them)

the spartans were a huge jump in technology, maybe it was some forerunner inspiration?

Others have talked about the odd hatred of the covenant for humans, despite the covies consisting of multiple races themselves. The covies hate the humans because they are afraid of them, because they look like? the forerunners?

same storyline from David Brin's uplift series of books. After humans discover mummified remains of the "first race" (progeinators) that look erily like humans, several sects of religious fanatic speices do all they can to destroy humans before the truth comes out.

HEY everyone!!! look who it is!!! Yep it's me! Good `Ol Chappers that nobody likes...

Forerunner = Human, end discussion... Too much proof I have, go find it if you want it, I'm not going to get flamed again. Yeah, I might be nice and give you all the proof, maybe later.
