Alright people, I have your answer. The Forerunners activated the rings, destroying all sentient life, except that which could survive a purge of such great magnitude: bacteria at a molecular level. What are humans made of, what is our primordial soup? Answer: bacteria.
The forerunners survived on a molecular level on Earth, and humans were eventually born. No forerunners survived, except in that way. I'm sure it was the same for whatever races the covenant came from, if the Halo Ring's purge has that far of a range.

Earth is a pre-prepared cradle for humanity.


The FR did not "throw away" their tech, it was merely forgotten over millions of years.



like the ing in lord of the rings, only it wasn't milions

You mean cells, because were not made of bacteria, there's just bacteria in us. (which we need no matter what)

Maybe the Black Plague killed everyone that was smart so we had to start all over again. Or, the Ice Age made the Earth start pretty much over again, think about it the like hundreds of millions of years erased from before the Ice Age.



Good job, if I remember correctly, most of the Northern Hemisphere was white ( ice ) in one of the cutscenes of Halo 2.

If you think forerunners are humans then how do you explain covenent being more advanced than humans , but forerunner tech being more advanced than covenent. And you better not say its because the rings were activated

Fixed the title; fewer flamewars that way. Keep speculating, but play nice.

Where does it ever become apparent that the forerunners tech is more advanced than covenant tech. I always took it as covenant tech is forerunner tech that they have figured out how to work. And i think the rings being activated is a very strong possiblity, Im guessing the forerunners that all lifeforms sentient or otherwise are far better off being totally wiped out than perverted by the flood. Its possible that humans arent human and that we are descendants of the forerunner that landed on earth in there ARC.

the rings kill all life that the flood could actually tak eover in a matter of speaking

but the humans and all evolution on earth started with single celled organisms, i do believe the forerunners were not sigle celled organisms that sent anything to earth.

Your kind of following my point. All that was left of the forerunners was single-celled organisms, which eventually evolved into humans, or eventually re evolved into the forerunners. Since we don't know what a forerunner looks like, there is a possibility that they became themselves once more... as humans. And, of course, because the forerunners were nearly destroyed, they, or we, would have no recolection of the technology we built. And, this would explain why the MC knew how to use the tech on Halo, he simply "remembered" part of his heritage. This would also explain some of the remarks 343GS stated, but, of course, everyone has their own theories on that.

Guilty Spark 343 specifically said that there had been 1 ACTUAL use of Halo's weapons, obviously some of them survive and reproduce, you dumass.

i did not say the forerunners ended up being single celled, if your were hit by a beam of death froma halo, what do u think would be left of you?
skin maybe- but skin cells only live for a few weeks and in the time

all im saying is that there wouldnt be any way possible for a forerunner to be human.

I think the Ark is very similar to the Noah's Ark in the Bible. The Forerunners knew that the Flood would envelope the galaxy if not destroyed so they activated the rings eliminating all sentient life except for a few life forms placed in the Ark to ensure there would be some sort of life after the "cleansing."

Alright, DarkWolf, then how do you explain the reason why these few forerunners survived the purge, and not become a snack for the flood? Also, how do you explain how Halo would not have been able to eliminate them? You'd think when the forerunners activated the rings, they would have had the intelligence to acomplish their goal: destroy ALL sentient life that the flood could use as hosts, which is ALL sentient life.

And 343 GS said that the ring's purpose was to destroy ALL sentient life withing the ring's range, which would have been within the range of all Forerunnner planets.

And as for your pathetic little jest on my intelligence, I hope someday you reach the maturity to be able to get your point across without having to do something like that, but I have my doubts on your ability to do so.

Hmmm... touche', I like that theory, I think I'm starting to agree with you.

And, Hans and Koto, my congratulations on being able to get your good points across without having to use Darkwolf's methods.

The Covenant happened to stumble upon the Forerunner artifacts and technology before humans knew about the Forerunners. They have had ages to learn about Forerunner technology and emulate it. The Covenant is not neccessarily smarter or more advanced than the human race. THis is evidenced in First Strike when Cortana is put inside the system of a Covenant capital ship near the Halo 04 wreckage and sees that the Covenant use slipspace technology not as efficiently as humans or as she, a human AI, can do. I am re reading FS for clues about Halo 3 and I am bored so I can get the page later, but anyway the Covenant is NOT smarter than humans...they just learned from Forerunner stuff they found.

Humans are Forerunner. They are just the descendents of Forerunner who decided to become amish.

Technology is lost over time, findings and research shows that ancient human populations had more advanced medicines than we do today, its all knowledge that gets lost over time, so to compare technology is pure stupidity

The forunners are egyptians, i think, it very plausable, either that or aztecs, if you know anything about either of these cultures and their history and especialy the theory that the egyptians where aided and or visited by aliens you'll see what im geting at.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Humans + Prophets = Old Covenant

They spanned all over the Galaxy (which will explain why Earth, Reach, Cote'd Azur, and the Prophet+Elites' home world were some of their planets)

Prophets got sick of the humans, and when the Flood got too powerful, the rings were set off as planned and the two civilizations went to the Ark to survive.

The Prophets, being the evil bastards they were stole everything and ran. We were left on Earth, and the story of the happenings changed over many many years, and thats how we got our Bible.

The Prohets wanted to make sure they could take us out (we were physically stronger, and gaining tech by the year), so they started to form a new Covenant after a new race evolved on their world.

They got as many races into the Covenant by brute force, and by fake religious promises of some great journey.

When they finally see us in battle, they attack right away stating that we are an affront to the gods, covering up the fact that we are actually their gods, then the war begins.

Halo 3 will tie up all the loose ends....
