10,000 years prior to the beginning of the book, not from now. Which would equate to 110,000 years ago.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Hey there! If you like Star Wars, and would like to be part of my group Mos Eisley then feel free to join!

Sounds interesting. Hopefully 343(or Bungie) could turn this canon into a game. I would play, for sure.

play as the FORERUNNER???? Who in the Multiverse would not want to play as a Forerunner with a class twelve combat skin, light weaponry, and possibly even a Fortress-class ship as back up?

And So Forerunner And Flood Became One.

a Fortress-class ship as back up?

In Cryptum, the first of a new seires of novels in a Forerunner saga written by Greg Bear it explains in the first chapter that 10,000 years ago, humanity had an intersteller empire and waged war with the Forerunners but were utterly destroyed and as punishment the remaining Humans were devolved and split into several sub-species to slow the chance of them being united again. They were placed on a planet called Erde-Tyrene in the Sol system...otherwise known as earth.

If anyone has read the book and has some amazing info on this ^ or anything else please share it but don't ruin the book completely.


My interpretation is as follows:
[SPOILERS]

The pre-Humans( Before the Human-Forerunner war ) Weren't quite as advanced as the forerunners, but very close. The Pre-humans were "smarter" ( I.E. better problem solvers, probably would have surpassed the forerunners given enough time) The pre-Humans found the flood powder stuff, which evolved into the Flood. The forerunners knew about the Flood as the pre-humans were battling it, but since it was far away and didn't affect them, they didn't worry about it. The pre-Humans we're fighting a losing battle against the flood, losing system after system, until they devised either a cure or found a weakness, and exploited it. As the fight continued, the Pre-humans had all of these people, who fled from the flood, and no-where to put them. I'm guessing that the Pre-humans had asked the Forerunners to make an agreement where the two races could share worlds, but the Forerunners declined. The pre-human's had no choice but to go to war over planets, and, because they were weakened by the flood, as well as behind in technology, they lost. The Forerunners then placed the remaining pre-humans on Earth, and the rest you know.

Again, this is MY INTERPRETATION of the book. None of it is confirmed, so don't take it as fact.

I'm reading the cryptum as we speak, very intriguing. Can't say I'm a fan of humans (pre halo firing). The forerunners sound amazing, though i would still like to know more about the precursors, and the flood origins, and all the other species mentioned. Pictures would be nice =P

We'll probably learn more about them in the second and third novels.

Although i have read the book, this still needs a spoiler warning. And not to have the title with the blatently obvious spoiler in it.

It isn't really that much of a spoiler considering its the first chapter and is explained on Halopedia without a spoiler warning.

I see your point, but you have to concider the fact that you have to go looking to find that info on Halo.Wikia and opening the book and reading it.

There could be people brousing the Universe forum, who come across 'Forerunner-Human War' and it spoils it for them.

Personaly, I would give it another month, and then if there are people who havn't read it, its because they don't think it is that big of a deal, or they're just no going to.
