Subject: You ARE forerunner!

Why did Guilty Sparks say we were Forerunner? Did Bungie intend for the forerunners to be ancient humans? Then 343 screwed up the story line by saying the Forerunners were not humans and that humans actually fought with the Forerunners?

Personally I think it would have been cooler if we were actually forerunners, and that the precursors were actually just killed off by the flood.

I remember reading somewhere (paraphrasing) "The precursors were a Tier 0 life form which sped up the evolution of life and could travel between galaxies"

Then I read "The Flood is an ancient parasite that brought an empire that was conquering galaxies to its knees."

So I think that Bungie intended for the Forerunners to be humans and the precursors to have been killed off by the flood and not the Forerunners. Then 343 changed everything (I think)

What do you guys think?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

We're descendants...or some -blam!-.

No, I like the Forerunners being flawed hypocrites, as opposed to the ascended, altruistic beings that I so long imagined them to be. I also like humanity having a deeper, darker and more savage history.

However, yes. I do think that that was what Bungie intended.

343 didn't screw up -blam!- because nothing was ever elaborated on that time period.

you remember reading from halopedia, stop using that and stop worshiping bungie. Atleast have the dignity to worship someone that deserves it like bethesda or valve.

Quit being so butthurt. When I said 'screwed up' I didn't say that the story is bad. I meant that It changed BUNGIE's story (for better or worse thats up to you). I don't remember where I read it, only that I've never got to halopedia, mainly because I hate the white contrast with black text (lol). It hurts :(

What do you mean darker? We're always depicted as the 'dark' ones in everything.

explain to me how "screwed up" is not a bad thing?

So if a girl ask me how she looks and i say " your screwed" i am not suppose to expect a negative reaction?


And halo was suppose to be a 1 hit wonder, they didn't plan on making it big, they didn't plan anything out.

Are we? Care to elaborate on that? At any rate, that's beside the point. I was calling our history dark. I don't mean "dark" as in a quality attributed to the human species.

Darker, as in having to fight a two front war against a terrifying abomination from beyond the stars, and the most powerful, uncontested empire in the galaxy, at whose hands humanity was stripped of it's technology, and de-evolved, left to cling at the straps of it's former civilzation. Never mind that, but humanity itself committed a number of atrocities upon less advanced sentient races itself within the war. "Justified", given that they were trying to escape the flood, but the blood spilled upon their hands certainly taints human history a darker shade.

Guilty Spark is rampant and has been since the day we met him. He's a very confused robot.

no he hasn't and that has never been confirmed or even implied.


We just don't understand what he is talking about. and since the CEA terminal has what looks to be chakas activating the array, everything he said makes sense now

True. I should not have said that as fact. I am sorry for not saying it as an opinion. I believe that he is rampant.

And I am beyond excited to find out more about his history. Well done 343.

Grey is one of the smartest people in this forum about Halo. He also likes to help people out. :P

Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick!

Halo Legends: Origins says that the forerunners are just an advanced alien race, we are not descended or in any way affiliated with them, besides having our ancestors preserved when they activated the halo rings

I may be wrong

Origins was an extremely brief summary meant to inform people that don't know anything about the forerunners.

and your entire post is false; Mushroom you are actually one of the quality new members here so praise yourself (don't let it get to you head bub).... *faint smile*

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

He might mean something along the lines of we might as well be since again we essentially inherited their tech. Not saying any of this is proven but that is the way I took it. Again this is only speculation, I assume they will have more on the topic soon.

buy halo cryptum, it will make you re-think what "reclaimer" means.

  • 08.02.2011 12:56 AM PDT

It just means that he is the reclaimer of their tech. This essentially makes him forerunner due to him inheriting their civilization.

Well what do you think? Unless I missed a second meaning for reclaimer. If there is evidence that goes against this please tell me.
