I've noticed, in every Halo game there are these huge things that fire off blue beams of light. I know they are made by Forunners, but, what are they? What do they do? Do they have any purpose?

I've always assumed that those are the Halo weapon's simulation fire shots.

I think that they are transmitting information or are going off every now and then to i guess you could say keep the Halo warmed up.

I believe that their purpose is to inspire the player to imagine its purpose.

Perhaps there was some sort of reason for it, however since no one knows, it is obviously made for people to think about. (Otherwise why would it be there at all?)

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan

I enjoy to playing Halo, Halo 3, Halo: Reach and ODST. Sometimes my friends join in and I get a kick out of it every time! :D My favorite quote from Ghosts of Onyx: "Die? Don't you know? Spartans never die." —Kurt-051 upon his death. Such an awesome quote.
