Which one do you think deserves the Mantel?

I believe it belongs to the Forerunners, the Didact was a good guy. Chief was just being a machine, he needs to stop following all orders.

The UNSC is an organization/government.

The Mantle of Responsibility, if it does exist, is placed upon an entire species.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

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

The UNSC is the United Nation's representative organisation for the governance of space...?

Is the Mantle even a tangible thing?

Was it the Forerunner's religion, or just their indisputable and refined version of Government?

Would the Mantle even survive being passed from species to species?

It was real, not religion.

Humanity, obviously. The Forerunners were weak.

"When Embarking the journey of revenge you should dig 2 graves" -Confucious. Also I like firefight not for the credits but for fun. Also like Campaign but I don't play it that much. Favorite Weapon: Battle Rifle and Light Rifle.

The ancient humans yes. These current humans.....

Humanity, obviously. That's what the Precursors intended.

The Mantle of Responsibility belongs to Forerunner's alone!

The UNSC is incompetent.

They can't hold onto their bases.
They have poor base defenses (up to 4 marines in one base).

Enough said.

I'm going to wait until Silentium comes out until I make that call. So far, the whole point of these novels has been that the Forerunners are not quite as deserving as we assumed. They had flaws like us.

:/

You realize he defied the orders of an officer and went AWOL?

Yeah you're right. It's typically 2.

In his defense, even though I liked Rio because he was a prick, he was an idiot.
