Subject: Why don't we ever see forerunners in-game?

"You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner." 343 Guilty Spark to MC in Halo 3.

Forerunners = Humans. Or, 343 = Liar. Or both. Or forerunners created Humans. I am putting money on the first option.

We are the successors of the Forerunners, we are the keepers of the Mantle.

oh i dont know, all canon says is they went extinct tens of thousands of years ago....


Umm... not all of canon said that. Some of it said that Forerunners did not went to extinction. They simply left the galaxy.


I know, but if you say all that with a sarcastic tone, it just doesn't quite work... I hadda dumb down my statement for that a bit.

Successors could mean anything though, humans are known as Reclaimers or Inheritors, people generally leave their inheritence to their children. So by this logic Humans are the children of the forerunners, would could mean pretty much anything. I'm using children in a non literal sense before anyone says anything xD

They didn't kill themselves, read Cryptum.

Nope.

Watch this also read Cryptum, the Forerunner's aren't all dead they left the galaxy just as the Precursor's did before them.


Neither of those videos accurately portray the final fate of the Forerunners. Halo 2 doesn't because Halo 3 contradicts it with the terminals (canonical explanation for what Spark says can be found under the term "compartmentalized").

The terminal doesn't because...well, it takes place before Halo was fired. Same with Cryptum.

However, both the Halo 3 terminals, IRIS and the Encyclopedia say they survived, with the Encyclopedia flat out saying they left the galaxy.

Gulty Spark=insane. Forerunner is a catch-all term referring to any race who upholds the Mantle, not any one specific race.

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
- J. Robert Oppenheimer

Before they were meant to be mysterious. I mean, they were the Gods of the Covenant. Have you ever seen a God before?

Anyway, yes, you will see them in CEA and most likely in 4.
