"A LIE is a LIE"


- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer

I made this thread to get a general idea of what the universe population thinks about the origins of these races.

So, this is what I think -

Flood - I think it was Biological weapon made by the very last precursors to wipe out the forunners after they lost the war. This "weapon" evolved into somthing greater.

Precursor - I think these were humans, only extremely intellegent and possesed highly evolved technology. The "real" humans probably originated from them.

Forunners - I dont have a clue, but I am stuck on saying they were the advanced humans and the precursors are not. I also wonder if some species of the covenant originated from them, like the prophets or the elites.

Whats your opinion on these 3 races?

The flood were created by the forerunners or precursors or they just exist naturally.

Precursors were confirmed by cryptum not to be human, i say they were one of the first races in the galaxy.

Forerunners were created by the precursors (cryptum) and it is hinted the humans were also.

The prophets were formed naturally, though i speculate that the forerunner made the elites.

Precursers created the Forerunner, possibly humanity too. The Forerunner rebelled destroying their creators civiliation. The surviving Precurser fled the galaxy, created the Flood as a biological weapon of revenge and sent them back on empty ships.

I can't see how the forerunners would have wiped out the precursors,if they can travel between galaxies.Unless the Forerunners had a super empire compassing many galaxies.

The Forerunners killing the precursors doesn't makes any sense.The Forerunners in the year 100000 BCE were primitive compared to the Precursors,so how the hell did they managed to wipe them out.

It puzzles me :(

The Precursers might have created the Foerunners as a building/labour race, in which case they would have access to precurser tech. Kinda like how in backstory of Assassin's Creed humans (inferior species) rose up against their masters with their own technology and drive them to near extinction.

Forerunners controlled all life forms in the galaxy given they chose which life forms would survive after the firing of the Halo's.

(see Halo legends)

There is a huge difference between the Forerunner creating all life in the galaxy and them safeguarding/caretaking all life in the galaxy.

The Forerunner didn't create any species as far as has been explained so far.
