We were the greatest threat to the Forerunners? For some reason I got a sense of pride when I learned that in Halo 4. Did anyone else feel the same?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Well judging by how fast we create new technologies, that should be noticeable.

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNĒ¢UM

I thought it was kinda a lame story point, IMO. I was expecting something more along the lines that we were descendants of Forerunner, not enemies.

Greatest THREAD, not threat.

Humanity started the greatest thread ever on the Forerunner forums. That started the Great Humanity/Forerunner Flamewar. The humans were fleeing from this forum, the Flood, and were seeking a new place to lurk.

Know your history

Do you even Halo canon? We're not descendants of the Forerunners, period.

Though I agree it was a lame plot device.

-Panthers are the best.
-Haters gonna hate.
-Who Dares Wins
-If your one of my real life friends. STOP GOOGLE-ING ME.
XD

The ur-didact perseives humanity as the greatest threat as we were judged worthy by the flood and meant to inherit the mantle. He got pissed that we were to surpass the forerunners he considered us the greatest threat to forerunner supremacy.

The greatest threat in the galaxy is the precurors/flood.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

I preferred the whole 'humans are actually Forerunners' guessing thing.

Actually I would've preferred if we were kept guessing about that sort of stuff, but oh well.

The flood was the greatest threat.

Hurr

Prehistoric humans and prophets were on par with Forerunner tech, that was when they were the biggest threat to the Forerunners.

Didact's just butthurt.

-We killed his Prometheans.
-We spread across the galaxies, slaughtering Forerunners but running away from the Flood.
-We were almost on the same technology as the Forerunners.
-Precursors deemed us worthy of the Mantle.
