If the arc killed Everything in the Galaxy, then you are claiming that the Covenent just happened to evolve and find the Forerunner Tec ... ok then, even if that did happen, you're forgetting this is just speculation, you hav no idea what all those years have done to the mentallity of the monitors + we don't know for Sure that the Arc is on Earth

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

no.
He only calls the one with the index the reclaimer.
Do you go around saying "Hey Human" no.
why would he?
I'm pretty damn sure that if i was the forerunner, id make the one place that doesnt blow up my home planet.

yea but 343 recognized Master Chief, hence, the RE-claimer.

Not to mention, Installation 04 (Halo in Halo1) had many, many similarities to planet earth, for instance- Pine trees, grass, similar arcitecture as human ships like the pillar of autumn (Halo1 ship), etc.

I am...whimsical today.

'The Forerunner' is what the Covenant call them. We have adopted the name too.
Even so, we are not Forerunners. Ther Forerunners are all dead, they died in the activation of the Halo network.
We are now something else, something that is 'reclaiming' old Forerunner technology.

Lol Wuyie was faster :)

tr.v. re·claimed, re·claim·ing, re·claims

1) To bring into or return to a suitable condition for use, as cultivation or habitation: reclaim marshlands; reclaim strip-mined land.
2) To procure (usable substances) from refuse or waste products.
3) To bring back, as from error, to a right or proper course; reform.
4) To tame (a falcon, for example).

see # 3...

...hence...

fore·run·ner (fôrrnr, fr-)
a noun.

1) One that precedes, as in time; a predecessor.
2) An ancestor; a forebear.
3) One that comes before and indicates the approach of another; a harbinger.
4) A warning sign or symptom.
5) Sports. One who skis the course before the beginning of a race.

see # 1, 2, and 3.


Humans were not allies to the forerunners, we, as reclaimers are the forerunners. We just don't know that.

The covenant refer to them as the forerunners simply because of arrogance, the prophets believe they are their ancestors because humans are too "inferior", they knew of the Icons, which they refer to as the crystals (in the books) and the humans were oblivous.

It is no coincidence that an Icon was found on Reach and that the Ark is on earth.

I for one think there is more significance behind what happened at Reach then what was led on. We never did find out what happened to Reach, other then it was being attacked by the covenant. In the books it was never completely glassed because the location of the crystal was there. I for one would like to see some back story on Reach in Halo 3, somewhat of a dream or such that the chief has, to clue us in on what happened there. It's obviousy the covenant found it, but they landed troops on it as well, which was unusual, so it is clear their is importance behind Reach.

I would have to say that Forerunners and Reclaimers are either the same thing or totally different things. Who cares, why don't we wait until Halo 3.

But if we are the Forerunners...why don't we remember being Forerunners? Did traveling around the galaxy in giant spaceships with advanced plasma weaponry, artificial environments, space-and-time bending magical technology all just get old? Did we --being the Forerunners-- just decide to start over and try and forget? Or did we all just get hit in the head by a big rock and get amnesia? If we are Forerunners, why arn't there any evidence on Earth to prove that we were or decended from them? There are to many holes in the Human-Forerunner theory for it to be true.

I am...whimsical today.

Theory:
Forerunners built the Ark on a planet that had not been settled on yet, and therefore had no Flood infection. They built the Ark to save a few from the Halo network, and the rest died.
This is where the theory has a few possibilities:
* Forerunner used their technology to enhance the mental capacity of nearby primates (as they could not sustain their civilization), thus creating us.
* Inside the Ark was really DNA coding for all of the Forerunner's native animals, including themselves at an earlier stage of evolution.
* The Forerunners society degenerated and then rose again.

The Ark may have been buried by seismic activity in that area of Kenya.

I think the forerunners planted bacturia (crap I can't spell) on earth knowing that we would evolve from it and they did it so we would provide a basic defence for the arc.

The Spartans were selected using Genetic profiling (or something like that). The short of it is, that they have groovy genes, and would have been remarkable individuals anyway.

However, also remember that Miranda Keyes is also given the title 'Reclaimer'

About the whole Covenant part,I wouldn't be suprised if the Covenant formed in a different galaxy, then migrated to our own.
