Subject: Forerunner Comparison Question?

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

Ok, first off, I know a lot about forerunners so im not new to them.

So after watching Halo Legends where we got a good look at a forerunner image/what they looked like and who they were. I went to go play Marathon, knowing that forerunners i think had soemthing to do with marathon.

So, is the creature you see the most in marathon, are they forerunners. I bealive they're race is called the "Pfh'or"

Thanks

The Marthon universe and Halo universe, while similar, are completely unrelated. Including the Forerunners.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

This. Marathon and Halo are not the same universe and the Forerunners never had any involvement in Marathon.

That image of a Forerunner is a piece of fan art from DeviantArt, by the way.

They call me Mister Nuke. You, my fine acquaintance, may call me Mister Nuke. Welcome to the wonderful dystopia that is my user page. If you're here about something I may have done to upset you, do not waste your precious time sending me a message. I will not reply. There is a good chance it was not really upsetting and that you are angry over nothing. If it was a "big deal," then well, my bad.

EPIC SPOILER ALERT















The Forerunners are not related to... whatever they're called, but they are, somewhere down the line, related to humans, I believe.

No, they're not. The only similarity between them is that the Forerunners believe humanity was shaped by the Precursors similar to how they were.

Oh. Ok, I apologise. I was under the impression that they were.

"For God and Glory!"

not related, although the marathon aliens may have inspired bungie to create the forerunners in the image we now see them

Bungie did not physically depict the Forerunners, the first time we saw what they looked like was in Origins by 343.

Though, Bungie did release concept art for a Promethean they were going to put in Halo 4 before they settled on doing Reach. Link.
