"Immersion is playing Half-Life and not noticing your house is burning down."- Paul Barnett

The most awesome thing ever!

Ok guys, my theory is this: Humans ARE the Forerunner. Not a type of them, not some of them, all of the humans in Halo are Forerunner. We just don't know it. and yes, I know its been said. But anyway, here, is the proof:

1.It's well known that the Halos were activated before, right? Well, lets flashback however many years ago it was, and see what was on Earth. Notice any big extinctions in Earth's past? Ya, there is. The dinosaurs. Everyone knows it. But lets do this, consider the asteroid that hit Earth wasn't just a chunk of rock, it was an installation. A Halo. So the Halo crashes on Earth, the Flood come out and kill all the dinos. With their food gone, they all go deep underground and lie dormant there. 343 GS knows about this, and seeing as he's not quite insane yet, he does the right thing, he sends the Forerunner DNA pods that were given to him before the Halos were activated to Earth, in hopes that the Forerunner will arise again from the DNA pods, and stop the Flood there. Problem is, that just like our true background, we have no clue about the Flood. So this not only supports the Human-Forerunner theory, but gives a perfect explanation as to how the Flood return in Halo 2.

2. How did MC operate the Forerunner machines, light bridges and stuff? It wasn't luck. He knew how to, he just didn't know it.

3. The quotes of 343 GS tell all...

"Their survival as a race was dependent on it. I am grateful to see that some of them survived to reproduce."
"Last time you asked me, if it were my choice would I do it?"
"Why would you hesitate to do what you've already done?"

4. And to clear up that it is the whole human race, not just MC, there is one thing. Before GS found MC he had thought that a Staff Sergeant Marvin Mobuto was the Reclaimer. Problem is, he got killed. So GS went off to find another.

Well there you go. The proof.

Thanks to HSP for some of this info.

Part 1 I'm not sure about, but the other parts go along with my theory exactly! Props to you.

Remember, there were some flood that were containted in the Halo's scientific areas for further researrch, the rest were wiped out by the activation of the Halos, The surviving Forerunners probably went to Earth, a place not touched by the Flood. Maybe Mars was the Forerunners true home, and that is why there is no lofe there now -- because of the Flood. Maybe they will tie in the pyramids to the face on Mars, and say that there were Forerunner installations located there, which is where most of the current tech came from.

Also, Halos are located around GAS giants.... Like maybe Saturn? You know, there is this huge ring around Saturn, maybe the remnants of a very large Halo?

One other tidbit of info, the war has been going on for 900,000 years, whatever war it is. This was a snippet from the making of Halo movie in the game of the year edition of Halo for the XBox. So has the war between the Covenant and the Forerunners resumed its 900,000 year old war, or are the Covies in the midst of that war and the humans just being caught up? I can't wait to find out.
