This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.

NO damn it!

"HSP: The Forerunner inhabit another galaxy.

JS: Well they don't inhabit ours - which is to say something with the power and reach of the Covenant would certainly have found them by now if they did."

As many hopefully understand we cannot be something that doesn't live where we live thats impossible. Incase your not sure JS is joseph staten he was the cinimatics director of halo 2. This interview was in october 2004 and it seems very day I have to bring this up.

I think we'll meet these annoying gits in the third game and get some damn answers.

I believe it. It's very possible that we are the descendants of the forerunners.
If not, then there needs to be a damn good explanation of all this "reclaimer" stuff and 343GuiltySpark's familiarity with the Chief.

By the way Ghostvirus,
The Forerunners don't inhabit anywhere. They're all dead remember? Destoryed when they activated the rings to stop the flood a long time ago.
And nobody is to say that Earth is or was out of the Covenants reach. They obviously reached it pretty easily and were suprised to find humans there. Like they knew it was there, but just didn't know we were there, as is evident from Cortana's chatter in New Mombasa. Your move. ;)

Really because the cinimatics director doesn't quite agree with you does he? Since his word is above yours or 90 % of the people working at bungie even your wrong. All we know is all life 3 radii ( 150 light years) from the GALACTIC center ( 50 light years outside our galaxy died). So the forerunners could still be in exsistence. All life with sufficent biomass did die but the species were brought to life 150 days after halo was done firing. ( number from noahs ark). Let me explain this sentient life is basically any life that is self aware in other words basicalyl every thing but bacteria. Last time I checked it's impossible to go from bacteria to our level of sentience. In fact humanity has been at this level of sentient for 300,000 years and only in the recent half a century have begun to industrialize our life styles.

The fact is it is impossible for life to die and then get to it's level in the halo verse in 100,000 years. How do I explain this?

Bungies defintion of a library:

"1. A repository of information

2. A collection of cloned DNA sequences whose location and identity can be established by mapping the genome of a particular organisim "

To read this for your self go to the library forum (halo xbox) then look at the top image and to the bottom left of the image (but still on it) you will see this defintion. Your move :).

Yeah and i reckon the chances are they'll be the ones to sort out this smeg awful mess... ofcourse the chief will lend a hand, only one you ask? because he'll have the new assault rifle in the other 'Bowchikabowow'

Okay well I misunderstood part of your first post, and ALL of your second. I'm really tired right now so I'm not thinking clearly but lemme just keep ramling... [cause i can't sleep anyway...]
In that one cutscene it is said by Guilty Spark or the other monitor(like i said, I'm tired) that the forerunner was destroyed along with all other sentient life (obvioulsy reffering to only that within the perimiter) when they activated the rings. If they weren't ALL destroyed, why wouldn't he more specifically state something along the lines that all the ones within the blast radius of the rings was destroyed?
your move! ;)
[People always love it when i say that lol!]

There could be any excuse maybe the forerunners (who didnt die obviously) went back and reprogrammed the little blighter to protect their peaceful existence.

Well despite my lack of imagination i do my best but i realise the whole vast amount of weaponary the created does change my idea of a 'peaceful' existence however they could be like Switzerland, more power than anyonw but why the hell use it i love the Swiss.

I thought the Forerunner were completely wiped out when they activated the rings.
