i think maybe its like a beacon, or signal for the Halos, or maybe the Forerunner structure is just opening up, no explosion.

That's possible, like all that contained power is escaping in a burst of light.

My only question is what happens AFTER the light. Swarm of Flood? Swarm of something else? or just nothing and the covies enter. sad thing is it will prolly be the last one. (sigh...)

I certainly hope it's the swarm of flood... then the ships could open fire or something... that would be awesome...

the chief would go all battle-mode-killing frenzy

i think he would sit and watch the show lol
wait and kill the stragglers...or just go in and totally kick ass!

Haha that would be so cool. But what I want to know is were gravemind came from. I think that the forerunners made him because he tells the master chief that he is “the monument to all your sins” but what sins? Well the greatest sins of humans is trying to become God. So this also might point out how humans are descendents of the forerunners.

yeah.. its like the great babylonian and aztec empire and stuff like that.. only the ancient Humans could easily have been far more advanced. but in the end, 'tis a game, and it's only speculation.

maybe he is like the last surviving flood form of a possesed forerunner. That could be the source of his knowledge about the "containment process"

edit: that could also explain how he knows how to use the halo teleportation system that cortana and 343 use

I think that gravemind is the flood the one who started it all. I think the forerunners made him but unexpectedly he was to powerful and able to infect others. That’s why they built halo.

maybe he made himself, or he evolved from a small flood-like creature

They folded out of the system immediately
after I received the message, without so
much as a "Thanks for saving us from
becoming plasma on Tau Ceti, Durandal".

The Forerunners did not create the Flood, so they did not creat Gravemind. I believe that he didnt "evolve" either....I think it was something about him being a collection of bodies or something....

Brains beats brawn get used to it

Fear the Red Comet

Variety is the spice of life.
Long live games.
Death to all fanboys.

I am starting to think. If the forerunners know ancient humans, they must know the brutes too!

where did the brutes come from??? i dont remember if it was in the game...its been so long...but all of asudden they just popped up, there must be some alien homeworld somewhere or something.. very weird

It will be funny when halo3 comes out, then the clues and the story will be clear and we will also see how far off we are or how close we are from the real story line.

I think the flood were created by the forerunners as a weopon to use on enemy worlds and the graveminds were made to lead them but the flood infected to many beings and started to kick forerunner ass and that's when the Halos came in

P.S. In the level the Libary 343 says that the spartins armor was only a level 2 suit and it would have been upgraded to lvl 12 soo the humans were not far behind on for runner tech so yes the Earth is thier homeworld but everyone died when halo was activated so the evolution cycle started over, so the fore runners are our evolved state and we were slowly working our way back to them

In response to the OP: yes, of course. Halo 1 strongly implied that Forerunners were humans, though it left a slight doubt; it became blatantly obvious with Halo 2.

i dont really think there is yet any PROOF that forerunners ARE in fact human, only from what we can speculate, i guess...

Have u read the books and listended to the plots of the games?

Then u would no from all the clues that they are either human or an acient form of covie

That'd explain how the prophets found all of the forerunner tech

Did u no that oce the covie found the tech they mass produced it
