Description
made this in my spare time in computer class
basicly an arbiter based game.
start the game on the homeworld of the elites (sangelii) (sp?)
anywho....
some weird thing falls on their planet filled with forerunner technology
so the elites send an expedition of young elites to the source as a sort of rite of passage to adulthood (air qoutes)
blah blah blah
they find a scary monster race because the forerunner not only created the flood but they also created another race.
dun dun dun
the aliens!!
haha see pilots = forerunners

*awkward cough* Aaaaactually... The Precursors created the Flood as a final sort of "fuck you" to the Forerunners since the latter pretty much rose up and genocided them to escape their creators' rule.
Other than that, badass cover.

not to be negative but the forerunner never made the flood

Yes, if you read Halo Cryptum The Precursors buried a Gravemind and when the humans where around the ruins of the planet they had found it imprisoned there and then put it in the arena as a warning because they had made contact with it and it had frightened them, then rediscovered by the Forerunners who were testing a weapon on the planet.

just wanted to state that the forerunners didn't create the flood, but, i like the cover! very artisitic

They really should show real live forerunners. It would be interesting.

If you're still wondering, the Sangheili home world is Sanghelios

Oh, and they didn't create the Flood, the Flood are a species form a different Galaxy that invaded the Forerunner Empire. The Forerunner did however create a race known as the Huragok, or Engineers, as humans call them, which became one of the Covenant species not seen in the games
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow i didn't know the engineers came from the forerunners o.O
where did you figure that out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's described in one of the books, I think it might be Contact Harvest. Huragok are actually extremely sophisticated machines that replicate life to the exact, even their cells work like normal life, but are in fact machines.
I personally did not know that the Forerunner were capable of doing this kind of thing until I read the book, those that came before them, the Precursors, I know could accelerate evolution of intelligent life

Did the Forerunner create all those dinosaur things?

What dinosaur things?

Watch the Halo 1 trailer

Do you have a link to the one you mean?

note-I think the SpartanII is the Master Chief even though his voice is different
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well based upon his context in the trailer, I would imagine he is supposed to be the chief. Those dinosaur things however, like the animals placed into the final production of the game, were likely merely put there by the Forerunner from planets they inhabited. They were capable of creating the Huragok, but they were really machines, which I don't think those dinosaurs were

Good to see some fans who know their lore, I have a friend who hinks john forge is master cheif. Honestly, how thick can you get?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well considering the given facts that John-117 was prepared as a Spartan from the age of 7, and that his name "John" is actually the name given to him by the ONI of the UNSC, and the more important fact that Forge dies at the end of the Halo Wars campaign, 20 years before the Master Chief finds Alpha Halo, I think it's safe to say your friend is a little misinformed
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Actually John was his actual name. however i am glad to see that you say THE master cheif instead of just master cheif. you use the THE when you talk about him but some pople just say master cheif whic his what you'd say if you were talking to him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well of course, he is THE Master Chief, and I mean that in the manner of of the Master chief of his area, if you know what I mean, of course there are other Master chiefs of other squads or what have you, but that's just the grammatically accurate manner of addressing him when speaking of him, instead of too him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just people are so out there sometimes, i met a guy on youtube who thought that Master Cheif was his name and that he worked for the CIA
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*20 second long snort... or something like that, might have been 18 seconds*
The CIA doesn't exist 500 years in the future! Gooooood grief, and what mother and father thinks "Let's see, Mark, Matthew... ah, Master Chief, that's a good name"
My goodness, ignorance is one thing, but that is blatant stupidity
The again, I met someone on Youtube who thought that Forge from Halo Wars was the Master Chief, even though I pointed out to him that the Master Chief was on Reach at the times pointed out by the Halo novels, and the fact that Forge dies at the end of the Campaign. I know the Chief is good, but I don't think luck really reaches as far as coming back from the dead (Game related continues not included)

true...Johnson's Halo 1 deaths aside
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, quite, I'd forgotten him. I swear, luckiest guy to ever live he was. I half expected him to have some kind of laser resistant armour in that cutscene after one kills Spark.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you'd think spark would have used that laser earlier on the flood in halo one instead of holding out on us like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, I'd at least have thought he'd have used it instead of summoning his Sentinels at us when Cortana stole the activation index
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that, and john isnt a freakin spartan. I think thats pretty obvious. Anoher one of my freinds got sgt johnson and john forge mixed up.
And, yeah, your right. though i would have used a word slightly less civil than 'misinformed' in this guys case.
the only thing that has annoyed me recently in halo lore is how blatantly obvious forerunner structures are in halo wars. I mean, you'd think humanity would have noticed something that big lodged in harvest's polar ice cap
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually it's highly hinted that Sgt Johnson is in fact a Spartan I, and no, Forge is not a Spartan, he admits it in the end of the game when he tells Douglas-42 that they'll need all the Spartans they have.
Well, to be fair, only two planets had the Forerunner structures, and the one on Harvest is up in the polar ice cap where the humans probably never explored. It wasn't too conspicuous in the snow and ice. The only other places with Forerunner structures was on that other Flood infested planet, and that was a shield world, so they were of course everywhere

I like to think that Forge is a member of the ORION Project. Note: Spartan-Is are not actually called that. Halsey came up with the name Spartan for her own project and dubbed them the Spartan-IIs as a way of acknowledging the ORION Project.

Yeah, i know about good ol' Avery J. Johnson, I just cant beleive that he managed to get em confused.
hmmm, come to think of it, how did the flood get out on that planet? I would've thought the forerunner would have had a few less research installations. as far as i can tell, there were a great deal of flood research labs, but most of them would have been remote locations, would they not?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well considering how very, very different they are, as well as the fact that Forge is much older than Johnson.
Well the planet was a shield world, they probably escaped from the lower level to the surface, hoping for an eventual means of escape. They almost had it too it seems
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
perhaps. though i do have a bone to pick with the representation of the proto gravemind in halo wars
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
On the mission were you have to launch an all out assault on the flood. you know, where you can destroy the flood colonies to weeken it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't think it was bad, I mean the Gravemind is very large, so the proto-gravemind would have to gain a sufficient enough biomass before amassing its intelligence into the Gravemind we all know and have mixed feelings about
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, my beef was not so much with its size, wich was understandably greater than that of the keyes proto-gravemind from halo, but more with its poition. it was represented as being completely above ground, yet having control over an underground network of tendrils. if a proto-gravemind has reached the stage of being able to command a flood army that size, and have an underground network, it would stand to reason that it would be underground by that point as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think it had any intelligence yet, or it would have been a full-fledged Gravemind. Besides, we don't know how much of it actually was underground, the only bit of it that was overground was the pulsating blob bit, imagine how much of its main body and roots could have been spread around the map
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm, i suppose, And i suppose the game engine did limit the visual aspects of the game
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it would have been fun to have a full-fledged Gravemind to contend with, but if it were to be real at all, we'd have to lose constantly

just yesterday i realised something most annoying.
The idea for a "ringworld" was actually an improved version of the egg world idea. The concept was originally to enclose a sun in an egg to harness all of the solar energy, however, this idea was dicarded, as gravity would be a missive problem. So solve this, the idea of a ring, which could spin to creae an artificial gravity, was thought up (all of thi was done by some science fiction writer). So, halo was relatively scientifically sound, until, DUN DUN DUUUN! halo wars uses an egg word >:K
