Who were the Forerunner?
Were they ancient humans whose only survivors are now on earth.
Were they a form of the covenant engineers, who are now stupid.
Are they an ancient form of the Covenant, of whom the Prophets are descendants?

What are your theories? Who could the Forerunner have been, and what part will they play in HALO 2 and beyond.

Did the Forerunner sacrifce their lives in order to build HALO, and prevent it from destroying all life?

Were the Forerunner sort of like our legend of ATLANTIS? They had amazing technology, I must wonder when the Covenant came into existance and the in what relation to the humans. Are the Covenant the only alien form out there?

Is the Forerunner still out there? In some other part of the Universe, did they evacuate our galaxy in order to abandon the FLOOD?

There are so many things to be answered in the future, and possibly be answered in HALO 2.

The Forerunners are ancient humans whose left the tecnology on other planets to point back to their homeworld......Earth. The scarficed themselves to stop the flood and when the galaxy was without life the humans and covanent evolved to what they are today.

let me state what i wrote in another topic. it proves the death of the whole race (or at least in this galaxy)


posted by iamwhie:
i finally realised what the monitor meant by "Why do you hesitate to do what you've alredy done." in the book, the flood, the monitor talks to the MC as if they have alredy met. he also refers to the MC as 'reclaimer,' and talks about a previous person the monitor called reclaimer, as if he and the MC are the same person. the previous reclaimer was a fourrunner, and activated halo because the flood could not be contained. this reclaimer knew what would happen if halo was activated, and asked the monitor what to do. "having considerable time to ponder your quary (the 101,217 years the monitor had been left alone on halo), my answer has not changed, there is no choice. we must activate the ring." this means the monitor told the original reclaimer to activate halo, and of course, he complied. since this reclaimer alredy activated halo, the monitor asks why this new reclaimer would refuse to do what "he"(remember the monitor thinks all the people he has called reclaimer are the same person) has done before.

The forerunners i believe were an ancient civilization that is extinct. The covenant are all abunch of different races of aliens that stumbled on the forerunner technology. The prophets could be a decendant or something like that. I would like to talk some more about it my screen name for AIM hgrunfast. If ya wanna talk some more about it.
