Hey
This May be a completely stupid question but why do nearly all the buildings in Reach and ODST look like forunner buldings, for example the building left and right of the Hotel in ODST during the last level extremely resemble forunner building, can anyone explain why because i aint got a clue?

Sorry if this is in the wrong area!

They do look modern, maybe it's because people are forerunner descendants so have similar tastes in things... My thought anyway.

People are Forerunner descendants? were do you get all the story info from?

Also mentions human-forerunner relation in Contact Harvest, good book, give it a read if you get the chance.

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

That's not true. But Forerunners wanted humans to have their fancy stuff. Like halos.

I don't agree with you, they don't really look Forerunner to me. Futuristic yes, but they don't resemble the awesomeness of the Forerunners.

WRONG

It's common knowledge that Humans are not the actual descendants of the forerunners, they just inherit the mantle. In fact a human named N'Chala witnessed the construction of the Ark. 343 was rampant at the time of the "You are Forerunner" comment.

PS, it's Forerunner and common.

incorrect.

We are inheritors of the Forerunners, not the Forerunners themselves.

This.

To answer the OP, creative license of future architecture.

If you've read the book the flood, you'd know 343 was crazy. smart ai's aren't meant to live for trillions of years. being locked up the whole time didn't help either.

We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

Forerunner buildings are also sharp anglewise, with "rare" exceptions. Whilst Human Buildings like in ODST and Reach are more smooth and curved on the edges.

"Were it so easy..." -Thel Vadame.

Really the only thing I noticed between human and Forerunner architecture is the Space Lift in New Mombasa. Odd. I know that Humans are inherents, but that doesn't mean we're going to start building and doing everything like the Forerunners.

Anyone else think that ONI buildings, especially Sword Base, look extremely similar to Forerunner architecture?

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

*This is not fact it is speculation*

Given that the Forerunner were proficient with DNA cloning and engineering it would have made sense for them to have altered humanities DNA slightly before reseeding. This would explain how their various A.I. recognize humans as reclaimers and how we have developed similar architecture (kind of like implanting genetic memories so that our species would develop along the same, or similar, lines as the Forerunner).
