I am...whimsical today.

Posted by: Savag3Shadow
god im soooo tired of this "humans are forerunner" theory. Its NOT new, you are NOT the first person to think of it, and its NOT right. and heres why:

to address your points,
1) 343 guilty spark did not ask an elite to activate halo in halo 1 because only a RECLAIMER (aka the human species) can do so. Reclaimers are not Forerunner.
2) How in the hell does a floating camera (that uses fans by the way, if you look close, it uses fans to stay aloft, not some magical power) have anything to do with 343 guilty spark and 2401 penitent tangent? (other than it floats)
3) Tartarus made Keyes activate the index because she is human, aka a RECLAIMER not forerunner.
4) If the prophets knew that humans were forerunners (which, by the way, there is no evidence to support) then wouldnt they worship the humans instead of trying to destroy and kill their blessed forerunner gods?
5) The stupid prophets vying for power among themselves has nothing to do with humans being forerunner.


So there you have it. that is why humans are NOT forerunner
1) Forerunner is the Covenant word for them. GS never says Forerunnerat first, he says 'creators'. The only mention he makes of them is after his 'capture' by the Covenant, where he would have picked up this name for them.

2) I agree it's nothing to do with the Monitors

3) Reclaimer and Forerunner may not be referring to different species, but perhaps to different groups. Two people can be French and Japanese, the only difference between them can be the country in which they live.

4) Why would we get left behind from the Great Journey? What possible reason could the Gods have to leave these stragglers? They must have angered the Gods, or they oppose them. We should finish their holy work. Remember, the Devil was once an Angle. Yet few worship him.

5) Possibly, and not just the Prophets either.

I dont think this is the best theory ever. It seems to be a collection of other peoples theories i've heard before. It's good to see them brought together again.

1. The humans are forerunners is a popular theory. Guilty spark refers MC and all humans as reclaimers. Reclaim does not have to mean "take back what is yours", it could mean and I quote from Google define " reclaim- make useful again; transform from a useless or uncultivated state". Which would make sense for the Halo's. I think too many people are jumping the gun on Guilty Sparks Reclaimer remarks to the humans.

2. This one is pure speculation. I disagree. I agree in the fact the covenant are obviously religious crazed, and hate humans. But all evidence shows they hate us becuase we are in their path, and are preventing them from their great journey.

3. I agree. This makes sense and is probally the most obvious point.

If a Reclaimer is human and humans are Forerunners then Reclaimers are Forerunners. The words Forerunners and Reclaimers are not used as names for their race. Forerunner, someone who was the beFORE others, and well a Reclaimer is someone whos re-clamining something. And to re-claim you need tho have owned it before. So yes the human race are related to the so called Forerunners. But it was 100.000 years ago the rings activated, and very much less ago the humanoids on Earth appeared. So maybe some "Forerunners" survived and after thousands of years they finally settled down on Earth to start a new civilazation.

And if reclaim- make useful again; transform from a useless or uncultivated state" was the case of what Reclaimer ment then why should only humans be reclaimers, makes less sense.
