I think the Forunners are human. When 343 Guilty Spark says "the ark" I think he talks about the ark of the covenant. You know what Moses had. Well think about it. People thought of god as a higher being. I think the forerunners were super advanced and to ancient humans, that would be a higher being. So the forunners got power hungry made us thier slave, gave us rules and talked to us with burning plants, and merged with us. Now how about this. They realized they were going to fire the rings, so they built Noah's Ark to shield us. They died, we survived, they saved the covenant and wanted us to live in peace. The covenant got the wrong idea and decided to kill us even though the forunners were most likely human and were are their sub-species. Hey Noah's ark was supposed to save us from "The Flood". It's all coming together now. I'm religious so I don't believe this but it sure makes one heck of a story.

yea, most people think they are human. It's kinda cool, to think that the covenant are killing off their gods.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

I am beginning to doubt the Forerunner Human connection, so read Ghosts of Onyx to find out why.

I like pi.

I dont think that humans are the Forerunners, i was watching the halo 2 special edition disk and i though the prophets saying something about them being descendents of the Forerunners, and i dont get why MC won't ask 343 guilty spark about them.

Simple, Master Chief wont ask 343 Guilty Spark because Microsoft and Bungie don't want to give away their secrets

Welcome to the Halo Wars Forums! We really hope that you stay and be active =D

Strike two

Umm, why would they be humans? I think that they are simple another species from another world. And that the rings were used to protect the universe or something. So what i think, is that the forerunnners created the flood and created gravemind to control them, And when the forerunner's leader's would losing power and losing belief in their system, they released the flood, and activated the rings. And then they forerunners stayed on earth as somwhere and it acted like a sheild or something. And they only brought true followers with them and let the non- believers die. But what happens, is that it kills everything in the universe, but the life on the rings live. But it's really hard to explain in my mind, like I can't write it out, but yea, Basically the rings are used as a weapon to speed up time and pass the whole "Flood" delema. And so on, and then they would come back and live again, till it happened again. I think that the rings have been activated more than once, but many times. But I am most likely wrong. But the only way to find out is till the game comes, and does anyone know when the update is?

I SWEAR TO GOD IF I SEE ANOTHER NECROED THREAD I WILL LEAVE ( approx 3 months)

Darn, another member gone because of n00bs.

Angatar, Iron-Power

Im close to leaving too, to many noobs and such little time..............

I so know how you feel, both of you. Its what made Skita and I leave originally.

I remember reading this thread. This is so sad. So long ago I remember reading this. *sigh*

 

Anyway since I am here and I didn't put in my two cents last time:

I really hope the humans are not the Forerunners. I mean how cliché. The humans were/are super powerful. I dunno maybe it's not cliché and I'm just imagining it but either way I think it's dumb. But now, after seeing the Halo videos on Halo3.com, I really do believe it is possible that the Forerunners protected humans somehow (just because of how some of the things in the newest video are worded). But that makes me wonder why they didn't just protect themselves.
