So, they turn on them, yet still worship them in modern day?

That makes sense really if you think about it.

The ignorant work for profit, the wise work for the benefit of the world.

The prophet of Mercy says to the cheif in halo 2

And this time none of you shall be left behind...

The forerunner worship could simply be a way of controlling the covenant...

Covenant turning on something, eh? Sounds mildly sexy.

Alright I have heard a ton of forrunner theroies the one that made sense to me was the topic saying that humans were forunners. I posted somthing way back on another forum talking about this. here is my part of the "humans are forunners" theory

Look at it this way say hipothetically: humans were forruners way way back then, now just bear with me. you all know the story about the comet that wiped the dinosuars plus everything else right? so say that the forunners lived back then and the "comet" was actually the covenant turning on who they worshiped to become the supreme race in the galaxy. Now thousands of years later the humans have become almost as advanced as the Forrunners that got wiped out. So the covenant have realized this and have come back to wipe the humans out once again becoming the supreme race in the galaxy.

just a thought.


Ok,so the covenant turned on who they worshiped,but then continued to worship them?
No.

The humans have not become almost as advanced as the forerunners either,the covenant are closer to forerunner than humans.

You also have no proof,only a series of "Maybes".

There is a small measure of proof but not enough to build a solid theory (that humans are forerunners). Things such as: Guilty Spark seems familiar with humans and refers to human history and 'our' lost time, Guilty Spark was able to classify the Chief's armour and compare it with a forerunner design suggesting humans 'think' similarly to forerunners and also the fact that the monitor only seems interested in getting a human to activate the ring (as well as Tartarus forcing Miranda to activate it) suggesting that only humans can interface with the ring's controls.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

err...since when have we (in halo) been as advanced as the forerunners? we don't have anti-grav or plasma technologies and certainly not huge rings that can knock out the calcium in the body

I my thoughts are that the humans are decended from them becuase as you know the forerunners built the Halo installtions and they only could activate them, well the Convenant cant so they need humans since they seem to be the only race able to activate the platforms. As in Halo:CE, 343 Guilty Spark needed mastercheif to do it and he's human and in Halo 2 Taturas needed Miranda Keyes to activate it and she's human. Also the forerunner structure in the Halo 3 trialer at E3, was on Africa on Earth. So maybe the forerunners were wiped out on one of there installtions and left behind vast technology and weaponrary that fell into the Convenat hands. So its seems to me that the forerunners and humans are related some how.

Sorry if that was jibberish and hard to read

the forrunners killed themselves with halo because of the flood. and why would the covenant worship someone they killed?

The comet thing sounds kinda silly, and I pretty much disagreed with it all, but with the quote

And this time none of you shall be left behind...

I am left to wonder if their were Humans back then or if the Forerunners were Humans.
Monitor refers to the Humans as Reclaimers so I think they are like descendents of the Forerunners but for some reason are no way near as advanced.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

it is my theory that the forerunners tried to create artificial life, botched it (flood) started again (covies), then the flood got out of control and the halos were activated, covies created with an immunity to the halos. any non-forerunner-created or non-forerunner being can activate the halos, we just happen to be the only ones.
