see wat i think is that since everyone thinks this it wont happen i mean if we already know wat the forerunners r (or atleast think we do) then Bungie wont put wat we think into the game.

A Forerunner is commonly referred to as an "ancestor", but it also has other meanings.

This is intresting:

Forerunner according to the Webster Dictionary. 1.A person sent before or going before to announce or prepare the way for another or for something to follow; herald. 2.A sign that warns of something to follow; prognostic 3(a)a predecessor {b}an ancestor.

I don't know if you can make sense of it...

This implys there is a middle man of some sort. Forunners are like the scouts, the people who went ahead first. Reclaimers would be bringing up the rear, cleaning up the mess. What happened in between? The flood? Are the flood the entire Forunner population turned into zombies? It would make sense that the few survivors would activate the Halos if all was pretty much lost.

First I think you're the last person to figure out that humans might be the forerunners. Second "blue ball guy?" Don'tcha mean 343 Guilty Spark , the Monitor? You haven't played Halo for very long have you?

:) The Ouroboros theory again.

I do not think we are Forerunners. In fact I'd go as far as to say it were impossible (how would you define a Forerunner?). Sorry I'm being a little cryptic there.
The Forerunners and Reclaimers are different, they must be, we have different names. How many Frenchmen do you know who are American? The Forerunners are the ones who activated the Halo network to stop the spread of the Flood. They built the Halo network, as well all the weird structures that do things we don't quite comprehend. Forerunners and Reclaimers (us) are at least different in the same way the Romans and Italians differ, if not more.

I do think that the Forerunners were not entirely separate from our development however. The activation of the Halo network 100,000 years ago would mean that very little developed life would have...(damn)..developed by now. To put a time scale on it for you, 100,000 years is how long ago our face was made the way it is. I do not think that we would be at a stage of Sapient life without some kind of intervention.

yup, humans are forerunner


nope, humans aren't forerunners
:)


The Forerunners and the Reclaimers have different names because if the Forerunners were humans, then the Reclaimers could be SPARTANS.
