Did you try to take my humour and distort it?

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing" -- Proverbs 12:18

Just no. Giving the fact anything the FOrerunners have cannot be truthfully countered. The exceptions are: Flood, Precursors and Warhammer 40k universe in general.

Really? A War Sphinx is 10 meters tall and can lay waste to continents.

Really? The Sphinx can fly. Nanosuit vs MJOLNIR, sure but vs a Sphinx? Just no.

This is completely unfair, yes. However, i would like to point out that I believe most people are basing their belief in the "continent slagging" Forerunner infantry on a misconception.

Read: War Sphinxes are not infantry

They are aerial assault mechs designed to obliterate cities. Seekers, a more "modern" version of the Sphinxes, and maybe in large teams, can do what these people say they can do. No where does it say a single Sphinx has laid waste to continents. Born did say they can make noticable damage, "sweeping" them, but a single Sphinx is designed more to "lay waste to cities," not continents.

Huh? first off how are you going to compare anything forerunner related to crysis? How are you then going to compare a war mech to a simple suit?

War sphinxes and cyclops.
Can't you guys see this isn't serious? But anyways, I could just imagine.

A Seeker blowed several war sphinxes from the Didact into space dust.It smashed through Didact ship wall like nothing.

I thought at least Seekers were war suits.

Imagine Optimus Prime from Transformers on steroids, robotic growth harmones, and give him armor that is much stronger then what he has, attach a Cortana like AI on him, put a bio-augmented human-sized soldier in him, and with much more advanced weaponry, and THATS a seeker.

War Sphinxes are said to be about 20 meters long. While Forerunners are tall, the Sphinxes seem more like advanced fighter craft then suits.

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

What is there really to compare? They're pretty much two completely different things from two different universes?

War sphinxes are 10 meters high, 20 long. The are midsized fighting suits.

Imagine this, the nanosuit is walking around in top floor of a building, he looks through the windows. Then suddently, a giant thing just crashes into the roof and splatters the nanosuit.

I'm still waiting for him to do the fortress-class. I told him if he would make me a halo vs star wars one and he said he'd like to do one.

This Is a fairly good way to put it I guess; Personally I'd say squeeze three Emperor Class Titans, 2 MK.33 Bolos, and Mecha Godzilla into a Package anywhere between a Tau XV 8 Crisis Battlesuit to a F-22 in size. This can sum up a good portion of Forerunner planet side weapons.


There is a rough power-level you need to have to challenge the Forerunner; Start at Pre-Enslaver Plauge Necrons and/or The Culture and Go up from there.

If you want to see how well Crysis 2 does against Halo Stuff, Might I suggest Letting Alcatraz Loose on High Charity? For nothing More than the -blam!-s and Giggles. :)
