My friends and I have a lot of conversations about who the "Forerunners" are. Now since i seen the H-3 trailer i know these Forerunners have inhabited or at least visited Earth at some point. I just want to hear your ideas about the Forerunners, like who they are or where they came from.

US! We are the forerunners, they activated the halos to destroy the flood and the last surviving humans built the ark *Earth*... This is why "They didn't know that we were supposed to be here" -cortana they new of the ark in forerunner maps, but little do they realize we are there "Gods"

The forerunners are a ancient race, human as we are, they use this planet (the 4th island) for some heavy ass machinery. Convenant are really dum and like to use the forerunner technology and so have found earth. All of the covenant's religion is based on the forerunners. Why they think we are the devil is anyones guess, the sepratists hopefully will finally join us and at least stop the forerunner heavy ass machinery from being used by the prophets and there puppets the brutes.

Humans either were the Forerunners, or were very close to them as they only trusted humans to activate halo. Also the ark (if that's really what it is) is stashed away on Earth, so there would have to be something between us if we weren't the Forerunners.

Umm, if the Prophets are the Forerunners then WHY THE HELL DON'T THEY KNOW WHAT THE RINGS DO!

Plus I still think we humans are far more likely canidates for being the Forerunners. But think how messed up it would be if the Elites were the Forerunners.

Mull it over and trust me, it gets funnier every time you think about it.

Your right the prohpits definatly are not the forerunners, but the messed up part is they pretty much do know what the Halo's do, they are trying to end the futility of all life and make there way to on their "Great Journey" *hevean, nirvanna, call it want you want it all means the same!*

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.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

The prophets do know about halo as they talked with the oracle (guilty spark ) who spits out halos purpose just about once every three sentences. About the forerunners? The forerunners were like the jjaro Angels sent by god to do gods work. The jjaro were sent by god to imprision the fallen angels into the lake fo fire ( the sun). The forerunners were the angels god assigned to created the biblical flood to kill humanities sins (the flood) and to give instructions handed down by god to noah on how to bring life back after the biblical flood. (threw the library).

"After exhausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the rings. They, and all additional sentient life in three radii of the galactic center, died ...as planned."


All the forerunners and sentient life 3 radii from the galactic center died. In other words any creature past 50,000 light years outside our galaxy was completely and utterly safe.

Right, cause historically, monkeys have shown the ability to build space stations from scratch and coordinate massive galatic weapons systems that can wipe out all life in the galaxy instantly. Since they're known to be capable of that, I agree with this guy.

Humans. Seriously. Why else would the Ark be built on EARTH without us knowing anything. Maybe the Halos' activation erased our memories of the deadly devices we had built. And as for it being the Prophets? Yeah right. That's just dumb. They worship the Forerunners as gods. If they were the Forerunners, don't you think they'd say so thereby making the Covenant worship them (the prophets) even more?
