Many people discuss the forerunners. Those people are deaf. I have collected this evidence off the actual game dialoge. First of all the forerunners are humans. they also had mjolnir armor. How do I know this? In the level the library 343 tells the chief his weapons are ineffective on the flood. He also tells him his suit is a level 2 and he should get it upgraded to at least an 11. In the maw when he discovers the engineering room he says how exciting it is to have a record of all of OUR lost time. He also points out halo was a prison world, to contain and study the flood, and he is that installations monitor, pionting out more than 1 halo. on that note when he trys to explode the halo he says "when the others follow suite" meaning more that 1 halo. The library level facility he says is a lab used to contain and study the flood. he also points out the forerunners NEEDED the flood to survive. That could be to win a war or anything but heck if I know. looks like 343 was malfuctioning, because the flood had not escaped then, but anyway. There is your forerunner history, ask every officail bungie maker, and these dialoges are in the game.

maybe some of them died out had to move to earth, or maybe there were 2 groups of humans, one on earth and the forerunners. look up the defenition of forerunner and you'll understand

It could be but also could not, I think thats a good chance though. The forerunner just means they were there before everyone else. Halo was built to study the Flood, it doesn't say as a prison world as far as Im aware. when he says OUR lost time he could mean that time generally since the forerunner have been wiped out so he's had no record and just refers to himself as forerunner as he was constructed by them we're presuming. He says his armour is class 2, and says he needs at least 11. It could be an arbitary class system. it is MJOLNIR VI isn't it in Halo? And they're not the same thing. I think I covered it, for every answer there is a question about the Halo plot, its what makes it so damn interesting. Not syaing your wrong just saying we don't know if anyone is right.

They used Halo because of the flood and forgot their past. The Humans are the Forerunner.

Well since the sentinels have sheilds, there is no evidence another MC could have been on Halo. I am a strong beleiver that the Forerunner is not human, or covenant. But, none of us will be right until Halo 2 comes out and the real truth is revealed.

There is a fact though that 343 guilty spark calls the mc the RECLAIMER. It seems that they have 'met' before, or someone that looked like the cheif. When cortana tells him halo is going to destroy all, 343 says the reclaimer knew, quote "how couldn't you". It seems this process has already been gone through, explaining the extinction of the forerunner. you can even look at it as the big bang in whin everything was created by being destroyed, lol

i figure the forerunner lost control of the flood and knew they had to activate the halos to stop them. i think that they took the planet earth and made it a kind of sanctuary in case something like that really did happen. the halos combined waves of destruction cover a lot of overlapping area but i just bet that earth is right at the fringe and center of all of them and the only point that the halos wont affect is earth. they got everything they could to earth as fast as they could but didnt have much time so lost a lot of their technology and had to start over(humans). you may ask about the covenant and how they survived. the monitor said halo destroys all organisms of sufficient biomass to feed the flood. not ALL organisms. all of the covenant species probably evolved from seperate organisms without that sufficient biomass. i.e. bugs and such. thats my theory but its just as likely as anyone elses and also just as likely to be total BS.

I believe that the humans are the forerunners. That is all I will say because this will probably become a heated discussion. People will list reasons to why they are human or not but the truth is no one knows. Just tell us your opinion and why you think so. Don't say someone is wrong, unless you can prove them wrong.

I think the forerunner(s) are somekind of "mother race" which colonised the universe.
I also think that they developed diffenrently depending on which world they came to.
They must then have developed to Humans (on Earth), The Covenant (covenant homeworld) and so on. This is but a therory and i dont say anyone else is wrong.
