But you already knew that I mean how couldn't you.

Last time you asked me. If it were my choice would I do it? Having considerable time to ponder your quary. My answer has not changed.

Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done.


Anyone have a clue what this means?

all 343 GS says leads to the conclusion that the forerunners were in fact human
but then again, what do i know?

343 Guilty Spark was speaking as though, this was his second encounter with Master Chief.

Go check out halo.bungie.org for the full sensible theory, but to the best of my understanding it goes something like this...

343 GS believes MC to be a forerunner. Whether this means that the forerunners were human or that 343 GS is just mistaken and MC somehow resembles a forerunner is unclear so far. From what it sounds like, long before MC or the Covenant ever found or knew about Halo Instalation 04, there was a previous flood out break. Now, because the forerunners knew that activating Halo 04 would kill all sentient life in the universe, they had doubts about using it, so they asked 343 GS what he thought. It is even hypothesized that 343 GS is called "Guilty Spark" because his previous activation of Halo 04 is what caused the destruction of the forerunners. Because 343 GS believes MC to be a forerunner, he assumes that MC knows the true purpose of Halo 04. This is why 343 GS is genuinely confused and says "but you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?". It is Cortana's dialogue in the cutscene that adds to the confusion because she says "Left that little detail out, did he." incorrectly infering that 343 GS purposefully witheld information from MC about Halo's true purpose.
Of course, this is all speculation and ignores the fact that 343 GS, by being left alone for such a long time on Halo 04 could be slightly crazy, or even the Halo equivalent of rampant. Little is ever discovered about 343 GS. When November 9 comes, I am confident that the cutscene at the begining of Two Betrayals (what is that second betrayal anyway ;)) will make a lot more sense and prove to one of the most important, if not the most important, cutscene in all of Halo 1.
For now, all we can do is try to extrapolate. Check halo.bungie.org for the most educated extrapolations.

maybe he'll get better armor then?

  • 08.28.2004 12:19 AM PDT

MC does get new armor in Halo 2, but it doesn't have anything to do with the forerunners or 343 GS. Check out the E3 Zanzibar video that I am sure you have seen a hundred times already. That is Mjolnir Mark VI Armor, an upgrade from his Mark V in Halo. MC gets better armor from the UNSC, not the forerunners or 343 GS.

another thing that leds to the conclusion that humans were/are the forerunners is that in the books, the former reclaimer previous to mc was a marine. of course the marine died and 343 gs went lookin for another reclaimer.
i thought that maybe the forerunners had armor like the mjolnir so 343 gs thought mc was a forerunner. but the 'marine reclaimer' shoots down the 'same armor' theory

Spark is talking about retrieving the Index, and then using it to destroy the Flood (and all life in the solar system).

Something Guilty Spark 343 says contradicts what you've just said Tsuchikage.

Said by: Guilty Spark 343
"Mostly. This installation has a pulse range of over <number> lightyears (I forget). This galaxy will be devoid of life, especially when the others follow suit"

(or something to that effect). Fact is, 1 installation will take out more than 1 solar system. Its more like a whole galaxy.
