Subject: Forunner weapons

In halo legends: Origins we see a cannon hover forward surrounded by sentinel enforcers and fire a beam of energy across part of the forunner homeworld. This continues with another type of cannon being fired from orbit. I was wondering if anyone knew whether these weapons had names? It would be cool that if we face forunners in halo 4 that these could appear but I just want to know whether they have names cause they look totally cool.

Not much is know about the weapons in Origins as Cortana doesn't elaborate, also everything she says isn't true.

Big, honking space guns. That is all.

Things that can eliminate all sentient life in the galaxy. That's alot of power, but I reckon their handguns are a bit less powerful than the Halo's. Maybe about 60% more powerful than the covenant's?

This.
Nice edit by the way.

Suppose, Isn't that because Origins doesn't fit into the forunner saga by Greg Bear? regardless of its cannon correctness I felt halo legends was well constructed. I wanted to know the name of the cannon because it looked cool, i'm sure 343 would have had a name for it during the design process.

Cortana does say that what she is attempting is to just fill in the gaps. I'm sure this was because 343 didn't want to reveal to much about the forunners because they will be due an appearance in halo 4, origins was just the basics (forunners encounter the flood and find no way of stopping it and resort to using halos)

I would quite like to know what a war Sphinx would look like as these have only been described in the books.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Origins is just a rampant perspective of Cortana in regards of the Forerunners and the Human-Covenant War.
