Subject: What Style Of Fighting And Weapons Would The Forrunners Have?

KIWIZ RULE THE WORLD!

Its just that nobody knows it yet...

Would they have Human like strategies?

Would they have condensed plasma guns like the Covenant carbine?

Would they have layzer weapons?

Would they have self sacrifice tactics like the Covenant?

Would they have armor and shields like the Chief?

Would they have any military at all after thousands of years of hiding out?

Would they have wheel or grav vehicles?

1: I'm sure they have basic human concepts like flanking, encircling and such, but they would also have their own that take advantage of their skills and abilities.

2:Any weapon the Covenant has is a primitive copy of reverse-engineered Forerunner tech, so they would be capable building one, but they would likely think them too primitive.

3: They definitely have energy weapons, but it's rather unlikely they would be lasers.

4:The H3 terminals shows they were willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve victory.

5: Yes they have armour and shields, far and above what the chief had access to.

6: I would imagine they would have maintained their military if they are still in the galaxy.

7: I very much doubt they used wheeled vehicles, humans now are trying to move away from them.

Forerunner small arms slag continents. This should give answers to most of your questions. They shuffled around entire solar systems, and altered the axis of their galaxy for a reason that amounted to "Because we [REDACTED] can".

Read Ghosts of Onyx. That'll answer a lot of your questions, OP.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

I think it is a safe bet we will have a decent description of the Forerunner in battle and their weapons before the new series is over.

Read both but there is nothing on un-automated vehicles or weapons.
plus plz use your imagination on what U think the forrunners use!

Consider their technology, their naval tactics would probably consist of hyper long range tactics making use of superluminal communications and weaponry.

Everything about their strategies both on the ground and in space would probably be hyper-efficient and analytically thought-out with use of very, very advanced AIs.
