Subject: Anchients or Forerunners?

I was wondering when someone would do this. My vote goes to the Ancients.

Don't know anything about the Ancients but understand the Forerunners would be tough to beat.

I have no idea who the Ancients are, so I have to vote for Forerunners.

PS: Why is there no poll?

My suggestion HNBL G8MR is to put a link to a wiki about the ancients so people know who they are.

I don't know much about the Ancients but what I know of the Forerunners makes them damn near invincible...

Invicible? the ancient humans would of sent the forunners back tot he stone age if they wern't fighting two wars at once.


The Forunners were advanced even in the stone age. The forunners would kick the ancients asses.

Remember Elk

The ancients made this thing that could kill everything in the galaxy, so did the forunners.
Not sure who got the stronger ships, but the ancients made a device that made ships trying to go FTL get destroyed (not sure how it would work with slipspace as they use different means of FTL Travel)
The forunners made entire worlds, the Ancients made a robtic race thats near indestructible.
The Ancients became immortal, the forunners died.

Not sure who comes out winner thou.

The Forerunners didn't died.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The Ancients of course. And you really couldn't spell it right even when you were looking right at the Wiki article?

Ancients win.

Forerunners stomp ancients,unless the ancients get their ascended beings.

So OP,is this pre anscended or after ascended?

And the humans were equally as advanced, so it makes this point moot.

  • 04.01.2011 8:08 AM PDT

Wow after going to ancient technology under the link he provided I seriously think the ancients would have won. If a race has the ability to create a device that can bring back dead species then they are very advanced, not to mention the fact that they were advanced enough to ascend.

i am 13 and i enjoy halo so much i want to join the BUNGiE team someday. I even created my own 7 step plan to world domination. BUNGiE just seemes like the greatest place on Earth to work. even if im not making Halo games.

the forerunners were much more advanced with there ability to produce pure energy. the covenant tried to replicate there weopons but failed and there weopons produced plasma. and the human lasars had packs while the forerunners could produce enrgy on the spot.

Obviously, the ancients, they've ascended into God hood, although they seldom trouble themselves with petty mortals and ignore them for the better part.

If it is pre-ascension, then the Dakara super-weapon is a lot more convenient than the Halo's, it can fit on a ship, and you can specify what species you wish to destroy. They also had time travel, even a shuttle is capable of travelling back a few thousand years (don't remember it you needed a ZPM though). Posted by: A KuNgFu NoOdLE

There is no such thing as "pure-energy". Energy is a measure of work, it cannot be "observed" in the traditional sense. lol

You need stargates to spread it to planets and last time i checked the Forerunners didn't had stargates in their galaxys.

A Halo ring can be send through slipspace to any location.

Forerunners had limited time power as the crystal sended the chief back to 7 september and some structure in i love bees sended a station back to 2004.

OP,is this pre ascended or after ?

Upon thinking about the OP's question I've Just realised the similarities between the Ancients and the Forerunner;

Both had advanced technology;
Ancients created the Stargates, Forerunner developed the slipspace portal. Which allowed instantaneous travel between two points.

Both had large empires;
Ancients dominant in the Pegasus galaxy, Forerunners the Milky Way,

Both encountered an enemy that fed on their knowledge and strength.
Ancients and Wraith, Forerunners and Flood.

Both civilisations ended by sacrificing themselves for the rest of the galaxy.

The Forerunners aren't dead.

Fixed it for you.

Anyway, they're both about equal it looks like, just different methods.
