I've been watching cutscenes from Halo CE. At a certain point 343 GS says that Spartan 117 has activated Halo before and he knew what would happen then. He is implying that MC was present during the last time Halo was activated and whiped the galaxy clean of all centiant life. Does this mean the spartans are in fact the Forerunners?

cant be, cause the spartan project wasnt around then. The forerunners are way to old to know the spartans.

The covenant technology is artifacts of forunner tech. i think the covies were made before the spartinss....since MC's tech is based on covies shields.

So no.

Tell u what this is what happened. Like 50 million years ago the forerunners decided to blow themselves up by activating halo. Now they sent a small group of people to colonize a distint word(Earth) in order to continue their survival. As time progressed on though people forgot all about the halo's. What do u think of that.

Could have been a Forerunner with Green Armor that caused 343 to mix them up or just their size and stuff. Only time shall tell the truth as Bungie has made it refering to the Halo universe that we have all come to enjoy so much.

Maybe, the design of the the Chief's suit somehow freakishly looks like a forerunner's suit, only weaker?

Could it be the Spartan project was to revive the race of Forerunners? Or is that to far fetched?

OR maybe because he's the reclaimer.. 343 could have been saying that's what the last reclaimer asked him.. it doesnt exactly mean that he looks the same or talks the same or any of that.. it just means that 343 is messed in the head somewhat (i get that form that laughs he does when your kicking flood ass in the first halo) and that he refers to all the reclaimers as the same person or being..

or something along those lines.. use you imaginations if you didn't understand anything that i just said

WAY too far-fetched. Dr. Halsey is the one who started the SPARTAN Program so if it had been, she'd have known ALL about Halo. And if she did, then she would have ended up telling some one. Which she didn't.

No, Spartans may have a forerunner genome but when the halos were activated the first time ALL sentient life was wiped out.

You might have gotten it confused with a reclaimer, which was that marine that GS343 first picked up...

We do, this just isn't funny.

Spartans are humans just augmented, so no, Spartans arent the forerunners, but maybe 343 knew that MC was human and therefore knew that Humans are Forerunners and said all that stuff.

Incorrect or unknown, GS tells MC that his combat skin is very weak and there is one 6 times more powerfull. Humans could just be repeating history.

A couple of times in the books the Spartans find themselves confused because they instinctively understand the covenant symbols (in the wraith for example). If covenant have adopted the forerunner written language then perhaps the Spartans have a distant genetic knowledge of the Forerunner language.

This does not mean humans are forerunner, or spartan (arguably not human) are forerunner either. They are specifically addressed as Reclaimer, and not Forerunner.

But its interesting though.

If you read the 2nd book "the flood" you find that Guilty Spark tried to use another "reclaimer" that was just a normal marine, though the marine did get quite far so pehaps he could sense certain characteristics that show a stronger human form, as similar as is possible to the forrunners but i dont thinks so.

Yea.

Also, i would say something here, but it could get me blacklisted....

So i will leave it.

But possibly he thinks that EVERYONE that enters the library is a reclaimer because know one else goes in there?
