so 343 Studios genuinely thought "Forerunner" is what they called themselves. Why dafuq would you call yourself a forerunner in your present time? lol. Anyway, Campaign Evolved is going to suck because there's no way they're going to swallow their [gay] pride and retcon their retcon (humans not being forerunner)
>>741622150never played halo but this nigga looks cool
I never even thought about that lmaoGod they were fucking retards
>>741622150>(humans not being forerunner)what? was this not the point?
humans not being forerunners is completely retarded and makes the original trilogy make no sense
>>741622604that's the point of their Halo 4 yea, but Halo 1-3 and even Reach bash you over the head with humans being forerunner
>>741622150I'm pretty sure Guilty Spark specifically called them that way back.>You are Forerunner.
>>741622604They went the schizoroute of following YA novels as the main plot, Guilty Spark was actually a human which makes him calling Chief a forerunner extra retarded
>>741622150If forerunners were humans doesn't it make sense that word might persist in a human language to what it means today?
Promethean Knights are so ass to fight compared to elites and brutesWhat were they thinking
>>741622649he does. it's also the cause of the covenant civil war. the prophets know the truth but have to hide it by exterminating humanity, or it proves the great journey is a lie. the elites begin questioning why humanity isnt being invited to join the covenant and the prophets then turn the brutes on them
...what are they going to have Spark say in this scene, come to think of it?
>>741622938>you ARE a-fast-runner
>>741622712>Guilty Spark was actually a human
>>741622642What happened to the team between 3 and 4? From all the clips I've seen it sounds like there was a clash of visions between wanting forerunners to be human and wanting it to remain a mystery with the humans=forerunners devs winning.
>>741622938they'd probably have him say some dumb shit like "You are reclaimer" to try and desperately fit it into their dogshit Halo 4 and 5 retcon of the entire series. What im more interested in is what they do about Spark's lines in Halo CE wherein he references human history as "our lost time". I mean shit, Spark straight up thinks Chief knows that he is a descendant of the Forerunners because he says "But you already knew that; I mean, how couldn't you?" after explaining what the ring does.
>>741623239The ENTIRE studio left except for the community manager who was promoted to franchise director.Actual clown shit
>>741623053>aye you are da forerunna' man
>in amber cladwhy do i love this ship name so much?
>>741623239the only confusion about the Forerunners comes from Halo 3's terminals, which I forget who wrote, but the terminal entries themselves are just kinda confusing and not very well thought out
>>741623318>the community manager who was promoted to franchise director
>>741622938>you are a fash smasher. Black lives matter
Humans are not forerunners. They are similar to forerunners in the same way that monkeys are similar to humans
>>741623513Old-fashioned language structure combined with evocative imagery.
>>741623053kek>>741623620Wouldn't put it past them.
>>741623627maybe, but 343 Studios made Humanity a completely seperate species of ultra-advanced ancient people. So nu-Halo lore says fuck that i guess.
>>741623948That happened in halo cryptumHalo games aren’t canon as they violate the books which came first
>>741622938>you are the inheritors of the mantle of responsibility!
>>741624082Halo Cryptum came out in 2011...
>>741622812No.Fuck no. Forerunner is english and english is new as fuck. Only certain words and gestures are carried by all humans no matter their culture across their culture. This is not one of them. >>741624082The fuck are you talking about? The games are important. The books are worthelss supplemental material that should never have any bearing on how the games play out.
>>741624258Humanity originally held the mantle. Forerunners were never meant to have it.
>>741624370Look at halo reach. In game it’s a protracted month long battle but in the book the fight is over in a day.Books always take precedence over games.
>>741624387I don’t care about 343’s fanfiction lore
>>741623513For me it is Shadow of Intent
>>741624564>Forward Unto Dawn>Truth and Reconciliation>Pillar of Autumn>Spirit of Firegod the ship names used to be awesome and then, because 343 fucking sucks, they come up with "UNSC Infinity". What uninspired shite.
>>741622150Who cares. Should not have been major part of the plot either way.
>>741624470Fuck no they aren't. It's just merch/marketing for the video game.
>>741623318>The ENTIRE studio left except for the community manager who was promoted to franchise director.
>>741622426He looks like The Grinch
>>741622150Because they are aware of species that came after and so name themselves based on that. LolIt’s not rocket surgery. lol. lolDo you actually lol at your pseudo witticism?
>>741624470says who lol. Game lore is all people care about. In the case of Halo there are now two different lines of lore to make it even worse; point is, the lore is already fucked, so you may as well just pick a lane and stick with it. For me, all i give a shit about is Halo 1 to Reach.
>>741622642>he didn't read the books
There is no Halo canon past Halo 3. The original creators moved on and so should you. The spin-off studio conjured up by Microsoft was designed from the beginning to milk the franchise after it finished on a high note.
>>741630791the books confirm it
>>741630791In Contact Harvest, Mendicant Bias literally says that the symbol for Reclaimers (humans) represents his creators and causes the prophet to shit his pants because he realizes that humans are living Forerunners.
>>741630791>muh booksss "You ARE forerunner, but this ring.. is MINE" -343 Guilty Spark, Halo 3
>>741622150Frank is a fucking retard. They're all retards. They butchered Halo in every way they could and I'll never forgive them
>>741622938>You ARE MORE than your armour*chief breaks down in tears and drowns in his helmet*
>>741634476it's hilarious how obvious it is>"But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?" - 343 Guilty Spark to John in reference to the function of the Halo>"Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done? Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed." - 343 Guilty Spark to John>"You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all our lost time. Human history, is it? Fascinating." - 343 Guilty Spark after absorbing some historical records from the Pillar of Autumnthis is all just from Halo CE. Combine this with the lines in Halo 3 and Dr. Halsey calling Forerunner knowledge and tech as a "birthright", it's undeniable. Anyone saying "Bungie never made up their minds" is cooooping hah
>>741634840im dyin>Chief... *cough* we must be... better men.
>>741623531I kinda liked the H3 Terminals, particularly the part about Offensive Bias's account of the final battle throwing ships around and shit after all the Forerunners piloting them got killed by Halo.
>>741622150>entire Covenant religion is predicated on all the Forerunnners being gone, ascended to divinity through the Great Journey after firing the Halos >entire premise for humanities genocide is that - by being living Foreunners - they are either demonic heretics left behind or living proof the Great Journey is a lie >343i retcons this, Covenant find a living Forerunner who they start worshipping even though the premise that the guy is basically Lucifer would still be the same and they still want to genocide mankind but for no reason nowIts wild how 343is lore is filled with retarded shallow misconceptions on what the Halo trilogy was actually about like they were playing a game of telephone.
>>741634159Humans are reclaimers because the mantle was passed onto them. They aren’t forerunners it’s two different species
>>741636258it was pretty cool
>>741631012This is how I feel about so many series nowHalo 3Gears 3Witcher 3KCD1Kingdom Hearts 2Ghost of TsushimaAll ended there for me
>>741636909It's like if a little brother watched his older brother play through halo 3 once and then had to write a sequel for it
>>741622426he looks like a balding jackal with a brute face
>>741633452>>741634159>>741634476forerunner is a title not a name for a species, humans were the true successors you the precursors, that's why they ARE forerunner, while the other race called themselves forerunner because it was their biggest achievement, even though it was revoked
>>741636909it's funny how 343 Industries kinda validates the Covenant belief that Humans are not Forerunners and that they are instead enemies of their gods. It's an absolutely fascinating retcon that completely destroys the franchise in a way that I don't think any other retcon has done. It makes the Prophet of Truth partially right; The Forerunners were not human and were working on creating an afterlife or some shit, whereas before it was a tragic false religion that completely misunderstood the reality of it all.
>>741630791It's a video game series, the licensed fanfic doesn't matter.
343 has the record for Hardest Fumble of All Time {HFOAT} after being given Halo 1,2,3, Reach and ODST on a silver platter with an ingrained fan base to mooch off of and fumbling 4,5, Halo War 2, Infinite and only getting Halo Wars 1 right because it was basically done when Bungie left. I rewarded them this because they put in hard work to destroy such a beloved franchise that made XBOX they literally hired people who hate everything.
