Interesting theory. One thing I definitely want to see in H3 is the Forerunners.


That probably won't happen, in Marathon there was a race just like the Forerunners and they never made an appearance in the series.

u guys are dumb that theory is way too complicated and best bet is that the humans are the forerunners.

p.s. i can 100% gaurantee this -blam!- doesnt have the REAL halo 3 script.

Halo is a re-imaging of Marathon.

jeez mate relax, its just my thought... and besides its not complicated if you analize it..
and besides you all know how bungie likes "surprises".. human=forerunner would be WAY too predictable (remember Arby??? who expected that on H2???)

someone 'leaked' a 119 page transcript of the the H3 storyline......it was posted in a thread here in poll form, but im not sure if its still up cuz that sh1t is against forum rules

pretty much it involves the 4runners being enemies in the last levels and you have to destroy them. but the rest of the script sounded pretty weak. i dunno wut extent ppl are goin thru these days just to get a laugh out of who'll believe this stuff, but havin the time to write a 119 pages for that purpose is kinda pathetic

but nice theory tho, it would add a cool twist to the plot

Great and original theory. But highly unlikely, cuz no one can be such a sadistic -blam!- to create an unstoppable flood to kill everything so then th other races will destroy themselves. and what is the satisfaction of killing off much of your race in order to know another race has died thousands of years later...

First the Forerunners made or encountered the flood on the halos but the flood were out of control. The Forerunners lost control over the flood while they were experamenting with them. In other words everything went wrong. They had to use the only weakness they new. No host to live off of. They activated the rings but a hand full of Forerunners survived, humans. The Forerunner race survived because they were in the Arch where they could control the rings and activate them. Humans are only race that can work the rings. That is why they were called RECLAMERS, they claim the rings back. They reclamed the place that the Forerunners had. The covenant were so advanced because they studied and copied Forerunner tech.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

I have an issue with this theory. It's just too much pure speculation.


Going off of what I learned in the Marathon games, and what we learn from 343, I always was given the vibe that the Forerunners were seekers of balance.

In all their designs they seek symmetry, uniform order. The giant Halos, the Buildings on the surface of them. Perhaps the Forerunners were not a force of uniform good, but I doubt they were a force of uniform evil. Their actions ones echoing balance than a result. Why build weapons to destroy everything capable of sustaining the flood in the universe, then letting the flood starve to death, while leaving a small population alive. They clearly were able to gather large populations of flood onto the Halos, yet they seem to have only survived there.

Perhaps they seek balance. Perhaps that is why they didn't destroy the flood.

But to play devil's advocate (lol pun 06/06/06), 343 specifically states that (to paraphrase) "After all other available strategic options had been exausted, they activated the ring, and died. Would you like to see the relevant data?"

So it is clear that the forerunners had made a mistake somewhere along the line, And the flood were spreading. Yet instead they made a weapon as well as a system that would allow the flood to survive, while life in the universe recovered. Strange, no?

Okay,
Some of what you put into that makes sence but do you even listen to the cutscenes? A theory why 343 Guilty Spark and the other protectors of the Halos label the humans as Reclaimers is because the Forrunners we either Human or some sort.
The Covenant is not a single race (Mr. Obvious) Covenant is a term in other words 'Allies'.
Why would the Forrunners want to be the only type of life forms in the first place? A theory most beleive is that the Flood were in fact a test for the greatest WMD (Wepon of Mass Destruction). But the Forrunners built the Halos the contain their for ever hungry bodies and if they were ever leaked out like in Halo: Combat Evolved they could be controlled. But the blast from the Halo's being activated was too great. So they made a 'safe house'. Or in other words the Ark

How could they other races activate it when humans are the only ones who can? Thats why Tarterus wanted Miranda to put in the index.

P.S. I don't really know how to spell tarterus


well.....if you watch the cutscene carefully you will see tartarus slammed the index into the console.

no tartarus had the girls hand with the index in her hand and he slamed it in indirectly. Why else would he have use for the humans and why would he ask her to do it if he could activate halo himself?
