Subject: Something i've noticed that could use clearing up

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

if the Human ar the forunners then why are the Covenant Killing us?? that would be like christians killing Jesus.

and if u say it becuase the Profets know that we are and are killing us becuase of it, that be a Major copout, along with us being the Forunners.

At most 343 reconized that our DNA is something flamiler by the Ark being on earth. or 343 could simply be Insane.

and the quote "there survial was dependand..." he was Clearly talking about the Flood.

First off Forerunner is just the name that has been given to whatever race or speicies created the buildings, halos, and various other structers around the galaxy.

Also, in response to the above quote...if you have played the Halo games and understand the story, then you will know that the Covenant believe they are some kind of religious journey, and are unknowing of the possibility that Humans may be linked to the Forerunners.

343 did not make a link with DNA, and as far as we know he only feels that the “re-claimer” has been there before. This is obvious in the book The Flood where 343 says something along the lines of “remembering last time you asked if I would do it my answer is still yes”. That is a rough quote from the book, but that’s the basic point.

ummm.. Forerunner is the Only name we have for the Makers of the Halos so geuss what- there name is Forerunners. tell me do you remmber were we got the name. Cortanna in the Forerunner data base.


And the "Great Journey" is just something that Profets made up after they found something Forerunner on there planet. Also the "great journey" is death, as the end of Halo 2 ponits out with the Brute trying to activate Halo.


343 says "This is obvious in the book The Flood where 343 says something along the lines of “remembering last time you asked if I would do it my answer is still yes” , at the begining of Two betrayls in Halo 1. and the books are not the games. they are seperate. and this goes with thoery the 343 is inSane.

  • 05.29.2006 1:58 PM PDT

Yes the books are seperate, but they do hold merit in the story, especially The Flood, which is basically Halo CE in print form.

I didnt say anything about calling the Forerunners anything but Forerunners. So I don't underst your comment "Forerunner is the Only name we have for the Makers of the Halos so geuss what- there name is Forerunners."

Also, I believe the name Forerunner came from the covenant. Cortana found that the covenant called the creaters of Halo Forerunners. There was never a mention of a "Forerunner database."

I think that what 343 says points more directly at that 343 feels that Humans or Master Chief resemble, in some way shape or form, the creators of the moniters and the Halos. Although 343 may seem insane with his giggling and other comments, I havn't seen anything to point in the direction that he has gone insane.

maybe reclaimer just also refers to the species who got to an index first? GS could only assume that whoever got the the index on his halo was the reclaimer.
i mean the forerunners built this system, and someone else was to activate it. it really could have been anyone. if an elite was there with GS getting the index in halo 1, elites would be called the reclaimers, probably. cause we all know the human race is called the human race. not the reclaimer race.

First- the "Forerunner database." is what Cortana was put in at the end of "Assult on the Conrtol room" in halo 1. this is The first time that we here the Name, Forerunner. the Covenent hadnt got into the room so its Not a Covie term.

and i conside that 343 might not Totaly Insane but hes enought not to be trusted.

forerunner is nobody's term. the word forerunner could be replaced with "those who built the halos" and this 'forerunner database' just means 'their database'. the whole idea of using the term forerunner is so we have no idea who this 'their' is. i really don't see what's so hard to understand about that.

Exactly.

However, in the book The Flood, it is pointed out that Covenant races were not called reclaimers.

We have no proof that the Forerunners called themselves Forerunners. That is a name that the Covenant game them, and we have began to use aswell.

Monitor: The installation was specifically built to study and contain the
Flood. Their survival as a race was dependant upon it. I am grateful to see
that some of them survived to reproduce.

This isn't a reference to the forerunner, its referring to the flood............. its the flood that reproduce, Forerunner - long gone.

I think that quote means that the survival of the Forerunners depended on the containment of the Flood. That is why they built the Library, and various other research facilities to study the Flood.

He may be stating that Master Chief is the result of surviving Forerunners who have reproduced.

agian with the Book referances. either we talk about the game or the books they are differant.

you dont understand that the word Forerunner is THE word that Cortana used when so was talking she. it is their Name. the way you are typing it sound like you are stuck on the name. it is the forerunners Ring, the forerunners Control room. its just like sayin its Humans Planet, the Human Car.

We have no proof that the Forerunners called themselves Forerunners. That is a name that the Covenant game them, and we have began to use aswell.

and the Word "Forerunner" is NOT covenent. cortanna said it after looking the the Database , in the Conrtol room, that the Coenant Hadnt got into yet.

The covenant knew about the halos first, but fumbled the ball when tryin to figure out why they were there. That's of course because of their stupid religious fanatacism. the humans had cortana who's smart enough to understand what the halo system does and the covenant of course are just too busy with great journey blah blah.

dude the whole point of this thread is that "forerunner" is NOT their name. you could just as easily say "the builders"

Yes, Cortana said Forerunner after stating that the Covenant belive that these facilities were built by a race THEY call the Forerunners. Cortana did not come up with that name on her own, nor did she get it from any Forerunner technology. She got it from the Covenant who were using it to describe the creaters of the Halos.

The Forerunners did not call themselves Forerunners, and the Covenant came up with that name long before they even knew of a controle room.

WE call the little red bugs in the summertime ladybugs, ladybugs DO NOT CALL THEMSELVES ladybugs. That is simply a name WE gave them. Like Forerunner is simply a name that was given the race that built the Halos.

This was also mentioned by someone else, the founding fathers of the USA did not call themselves founding fathers. That is a name we gave them.

Sorry to everyone if this is redundant, but I'm not sure of any other way to explain it.

DUDE, the whole point of me posting in thread is that "forerunner" IS their name. you could just as easily say "the builders" but they didnt they used the Name "Forerunner", So as far as we Know THAT is there Actual Name.

Correct.

  • 05.29.2006 3:42 PM PDT

Unless a Forerunner walks up and says "Hey, I am a Forerunner, and my race is call Forerunners." We have no proof of what they actually called themselves. It is not in any Halo book or game, so if anyone has come up with that conclusion they are simply wrong.

agree completely, theres some ppl on this thread that are looking into the word forerunner far to deeply. it is as u say a word describing a race we believe built the halo's. Forerunner is not a race in its self, mearly the description of one.

Yes, forerunner can be use like "ancient" or "young", as a mere description.

They didn't, in the game and in the books Cortana says that the structers appear to be built by what the Covenant call the Forerunners.

Again, what...the...COVENANT...call...the...Forerunners.
