Also, as you stated, it is possible that they didnt activate the Halos from the Ark. However, wouldnt some of them have saught shelter at the Ark? According to Spark, they all died, which makes me think that even if they didnt activate it from the Ark, the Ark wouldnt have protected them from the "attack[not the best word choice]."
When did GS say they all died? He said they all died as planned, that's not the same thing. Granted, it could be, he could mean that all Forerunners died, as was planned, but he could mean that all the Forerunners ment to die, died as planned with every other sentient being, and those not ment to die, survived. As planned.
Incorrect if you follow the correct convections and such of proper english. I doubt very much that Guilty Spark can be interpreted differently. He is a computer programmed to state concise and accurate knowledge.
According to all the data gathered from both Cortana and stated by Guilty Spark, they "all" died as planned. The very use of the world all must mean that every last one died. It is refering to the race as a total, not a particular group. Its sentence structure. Unless, Bungie decided to leave it open to interpretation even when it shouldn't be open to it.
I'm sorry, but I have to do this. You understand, right? You did the whole "Holier than thou" thing, so now I have to revel in being right.
If I were an ol' farmer, named Giles for argument's sake, and I had a chickin coop which was constantly under attack from wild foxes, I'd be rather annoyed. To get my revenge, I'd put a few nasty traps down.
The next day, assuming all went well, I'd see all the foxes in the traps, dead. They'd all have died as planned.
Now, here's the clever bit, that doesn't mean that every fox in the world is dead, oooh no. It means the foxes that were ment to die, died, and the ones that wern't, lived.
See?
Betchya feel silly now. I know I would.
