Subject: So is 343i making the flood like the reapers?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Posted by: FTW 1997

That sorry excuse of a brain in your head seems to be too well-acquainted with mental gymnastics.

Let me break this down for you:

1) This is how you pass the test - GIVE IN TO THE FLOOD.

2) This is how humanity passed - THEY SACRIFICED TWO-THIRDS OF THEIR POPULATION TO THE FLOOD.

3) This is how the Forerunners failed the test - THEY FOUGHT BACK AGAINST THE FLOOD.

4) This is how we know that - THE TIMELESS ONE SAYS THAT THE PRECURSORS NEVER INTENDED TO GIVE THE FORERUNNERS THE MANTLE.

5) This is how you're retarded - YOU DON'T LISTEN TO REASONED FACTS.

I can't make this -blam!- clearer.

Seriously ?
Can you explain why forerunners are still alive ?
If the forerunners left the galaxy to rebuild then why didnt the precursors didnt send the flood to crush them while they are weak ?

They are alive because they clearly used an Ark or shield world, how stupid are you if that needs to be explained to you?

They didn't leave the galaxy and please tell us how in the world the precursors would instantly know where the forerunners are at all times. Also explain the logic of "leaving the galaxy" to hint at power status.

If they didnt leave the galaxy, then why arent they in it by 100k later ?

Why didnt the precurors just send flood to finish them off anyway ?

And using logic, the forerunners did sacrafice both most of their remaining race (to hold of the flood)and the whole galaxy to survive (Activate halo and live after).

The precursors, unlike forerunners are at full power.
They watched the whole forerunners-flood war.
They created the forerunners, they couldve done anything to them.

Please give me a source other than machines left by the forerunners that says they aren't in the galaxy. Because IRIS and the pedia state that they are and they aren't in the Orion arm. So by your logic if we don't see them they must not be in the galaxy,wow.

Why are you acting like we know anything about the precursors?

Um, the only reason the array was activated was because Bias lead an attack on the forerunner core colonies. Meaning, if bias didn't do that the forerunners wouldn't have activated the array at that moment. Primordium clearly points out that the forerunners fail because they aren't willing to sacrifice themselves and themselves only, they use others to by themselves time.


Give me a source for that.
Source.

Irrelevant.

Because it's pretty damn clear that the Flood/Precursors don't know that the Forerunners are alive. -_-

Stop trying to do this. There are some things people can't do and you're the perfect exemplar of that.

the forerunners did sacrafice both most of their remaining race (to hold of the flood)and the whole galaxy to survive (Activate halo and live after).

It's not about sacrifice, TO PASS THE TEST YOU HAVE TO SUCCUMB TO THE FLOOD. THE FORERUNNERS DID NOT DO THIS.

They didn't sacrifice themselves to hold off the Flood either, the ships controlled by Offensive Bias (the bulk of the fleet) were all automated seemingly so the Forerunners would have a chance to go into hiding.

The precursors, unlike forerunners are at full power.
They watched the whole forerunners-flood war.
They created the forerunners, they couldve done anything to them.


This just doesn't mean anything at all...

You'll be back, the 343 forums are like -blam!- Germany. And the only 'moron' here at the moment is you.

So i can assume you just make posts without looking at the responses, how about you read this page and guess what i am talking about.

How about you just read the forerunner novels? and if anything Bioware ripped the protheans off the Forerunners since they were exactly like that.




Basically. The Protheans, initially believed to be the innocent and enlightened victims of fate, are revealed through the DLC to have forcefully subjugated the rest of galactic civilization.

Like the Forerunners.

And depending on how you look at it, the Rannoch Reaper's justification for doing what they do is almost word for word the Gravemind's justification. To end the chaos("sweetness") by synthesizing(infecting) all organic life so everyone can be reborn under a singular, peaceful consciousness and wisdom.

So OP, the Reapers were basically made like the Flood. If I recall, Gravemind was talking about the Flood's purposes as far back as Halo 3. He called the Flood the ultimate stage in biological evolution, just like how the Catalyst says Synthesis/Reapers is the ultimate evolutionary step.

Ignoring the useless -blam!- storm going on here, Offensive's last reports in the terminals mention dying Forerunner warriors being thrown from destroyed friendly ships. He says that, as he uses them like fighters after the Halo Effect hits them, the Forerunner bodies inside liquify from shear G-Force. So they did sacrifice a large chunk of what was left of them.

I'm not saying he's right, just making a correction.

Indeed roberto and watch people in the future say halo ripped of mass effect.

No, AJW was still correct somewhat-forerunners were only on some of those ships because it was a surprise attack and the control was given to OB. They stayed because they are warriors,yes, but we are talking about the race sacrificing itself.

Ah, okay then.

Ahh it's you. Been a while hasn't it? We WILL finish this.


Just you wait.

Okay guys, I just came back from the beach. Wow didn't expect so many replies, discussions and arguments. So the precursors are like the covenant. And the flood tests life in the galaxy to see who's worthy of the mantle? But I thought the flood just consumes any galaxy they find. Why did they change it?

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Who says they changed it? We never had the full story up until now and only had assumptions to work with, just like we thought the Forerunners were pretty much universal angels up until now.

Yeah, we were always under the impression that they were the selfless saviors of the Universe, but now we know they were the dicks of the Halo universe.

After ME3's ending, if the Flood is anything like the Reapers I'll cry.
