In Halo 4 the Prometheans are the enemy, Not the forerunners themselves, the Prometheans are AI machines created by the Forerunners so they must have survived the halo rings I think


SPOILER

The way it works is the Prometheas were the top dogs eventually the forerunners came along and beat them. The prometheans created the flood as a Blam you for beating us.

END SPOILER

There cant be any forerunners because you need a foreruner to activae the halos, or 343 would of activated Delta Halo without the help of john. Also all the forerners that were outside the "Safe Zone" were wiped out durng the firngs, nd the sheild worlds wre leaked. Everyne in the "Safe Zone" would also be killed during he intial firings. Tht being said though, whe the spartans were recovered they had sheild pods. Two of them had bodies but they weren't spartans.

The Prometheans arent AI, they are high ranking Forerunner Warrior-Servants. They have made some specific AI defence systems tho. If i recall correctly, the Didact was on Ibstallation 04 when the Halos fired, and the Forerunner didnt get to the Shield Worlds because Mendicant Bias showed their locations to the Gravemind.

Everything you said was absolutely incorrect.

The automatons on requiem are called "Prometheans" and were probably composed forerunners that got infected by the flood but still wanted to serve.

I love how people say-things without sources or support and then carry them as facts. We don't have confirmation on where the Didact activated the rings though 04 seems most likely due to the circumstances of the activation and 343's lines. Noting was ever said or implied that Bias told the locations of the shield worlds to the flood. I don't understand how you can see one infected shield world and come to that conclusion when we have two that were untouched.

That shield world was probably overrun,sold out (as you say), or the sight of a battle since MB said he was destroyed in the upper atmosphere of a planet.

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

Actually, the automatons seen in the trailer called "Prometheans" are just that; automatons. If they were infected by the Flood, they certainly wouldn't be serving, at least not with their fellow Prometheans. They are all artificial constructs, part of Requiem's defense systems.

Any source for those statements?



"Cartographer!" The Didact's voice brought the surviving
controllers, and the faculties of the Cartographer itself, to full
attention. "Saving all possible biological specimensincluding those
infected by the Floodis the desired goal.




"Controllers will stand down. Your work is finished."
With deep pride and sorrow, he was addressing the Forerunners
who had stayed loyal to the Council during the rule of Mendicant
Biasand who had continued to serve even in their infected state.


343I confirmed that the Prometheans in the game are not the same as the warrior caste system and that their is "interesting". Not to they were created for a specific reason which was implied to be the flood.

From the quotes you can clearly see that those infected were going to be further used somehow and the "A.I.s" have organic qualities to them hence the idea of the composer being involved which we now know is in the game.

I am trying to find 343I's statement on the matter and i will post it when i find it, but clearly there aren't normal automatons. Never would i think the day would come when the waypoint forum is ahead of the universe forum.
