We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Some dismiss the theory of it being human cause of 343 not being able to identify the symbols. However, 343 didn't say that he didn't understand the symbols, he said that he had a "limited data set". So it could just as well be human symbols. I don't know, have we seen any before?
If it is, how -the hell- did it end up there? I assume it's sometime between the Forerunner-Flood war and the begining of the Covenant(?).
Also, I always try to emphasize how important it is to try and see things from a storytelling perspective. Everything that is mentioned should be taken into concideration. The bare fact that 343 says something about blocking the signal, makes it important, and just cause he mentions it, it's fairly likely that there in fact are other ships. Why else mention that in the monolouge? It's not that there aren't other logic things to comment on; ramndom realistic things surrounding the consequence of having an unidentified ship crash of the installation...
Anyway, my guess is that we'll have to wait until Primodium -since the ship looks like the one on its cover- for some light to be shed on all of this; don't think we're meant to figure out anything from what we have. It's all part of a grand plan to keep Halo mysterious and exiting..
"Limited data" meaning he is using the icons he found on the ship and trying to translate them based. The ships on the cover of Primodium are Forerunner and that concept art was for halo 4.

Yeah, having UNSC and Covenant in Halo 4 is also bad story telling too.
The Covenant would be, but the UNSC is sort of necessary in order for the game to have enough relevance to the past trilogy.
Besides, UNSC Infinity is in Halo 4 already, so don't blame me for your Halo 4 hissy-fit.
Give me a confirmed source saying that the infinity is in halo 4, if not than it is speculation. As i have told you before just because we saw concept art doesn't mean a thing not to mention the infinity isn't even finished yet. Something you would know if you read Glasslands.

opinion, but that is the main reason they are read.
So what are you harping on about at that person, then?
Because Ruby claims to know exactly what Halo 4 and beyond needs to be consistent with halo overall,
Oh, sorry, I guess you don't understand the meaning of the words "logical assumption" and "game development".
and what is good for canon.
Not really. I stay out of that when I feel I don't have enough background on the Halo lore, something which you seem to be getting confused with.
Yet has never touched the books and has been okay with certain ones/bits being tossed out the window.
PLEASE explain to me how a 100% background of the novels is mandatory for what we're talking about right now.
Because that information is completely useless when outside implications and information is given to us.
HOW is it NOT logical to assume that some random spacecraft we've never seen before is going to appear in the next game, which the Terminals themselves are MEANT to connect to?
WHY do I NEED extensive background information on the novels to say this?
Stop using that bogus excuse, because it's getting old.
Besides, you never see me engaging in intricate conversation about the Timeless One or whatever, so what is your problem? I obviously stay out of conversations which I have no valid information to give.
Why do you think I'm in this thread? Because I know that what I'm saying makes sense. However, you keep lashing out at me with the completely irrelevant fact that I don't read the novels; something that has NOTHING TO DO with what I'm explaining.
How is spouting about the dire need of the covenant in every single halo game needed for the series to succeed a "Logical assumption"? I find it funny how you mention Game Development despite supporting the staling of the series by not branching out from the covenant.
And Cmdr is right; You have always claimed that the Covenant is good for the series and removing them would causes a massive fallout in the fanbase. I can even get quotes of you saying that.
Because there are pages worth of things just as important never being explained or touched upon again, Like the SoF. And as I said before the terminals are more about 343 than Halo 4. The only link i have seen to halo 4 is Abject Testament And the implication of more flood and humanity finding the cure. I gave in my last post several things that clearly aren't about halo 4 such as the PoA,Halo, and Keyes terminals.
It is the fact you brought up Ancient humanity yet have never read cryptum that is where you needed to read the books comes into play. What your saying makes no sense given that race can reach Tier 2-1 within 40,000 years. And the Fact it isn't Ancient Man.
