Frank says flat out that the Forerunners will be in Halo 4 here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilche9ZhETQ
Go to 1:43, this where Frank says that. So what role do you think the Forerunners will play, ally or enemy? Hope this help out.
Though I agree they’ll return, he did not say they’ll return, he said they’ll be important. They were important in Halos 1-3 too, yet they were no where to be found.
I really hope they aren’t in it. It’s bad enough that the books are attempting to strip them of their appeal.

IMO, I think it is interesting approach. Sure. losing mysterious element ruin one of their merits. But on the other hand, that kind of trend has been done to death. Showing weak side of Forerunner is interesting approach. They were pretty flawed in their own.

I’ve never supported this modern obsession that authors/producers/developers have to make sure that each and every character is shown to be “flawed” in some way, as though this automatically makes them more interesting. The Forerunner’s were never true characters to begin with; they were an idea, a concept, used to explain and justify certain parts of the narrative. 343 Industries should be focussing on fleshing out humanity and introducing some new alien races, not delving into the past of a species that was never meant to be examined in detail.

Many people tend to prefer imperfection since that is more approachable.
And I am not too sure how they can introduce new alien race as Halo CEA terminals and Forerunner novels already hinted the stuff otherwise.(Well we have a mysterious alien ship shown in one of the terminals.) It seems those stuff emphasize that Forerunner are meant to be explored deeper. I could be wrong, but at some point in the new trilogy, I think MC will get Forerunner armor upgrade.

I was referring to what I wish they’d done. It’s fairly obvious at this point that both the Forerunner and these horrid “Precursors” are going to have some sort of presence in the game. It’s a crying shame.

Sorry miss that part. But it’s too early to say shame. It depends how 343i handles thing. And wouldn’t sudden introduction of new race kinda sound awkard? Maybe, I can be wrong.
I think it’s VERY safe to assume they will play a role in Halo 4.
That being said, I think the first 1/4 of this game will be very exploratory heavy. I’m excited!
He really didn’t even say they will be in Halo 4. He said
“Forerunners are going to continue to be important, in Halo 4…”
I really doubt Forerunners will be in Halo 4. It just makes no sense. Maybe he’s just saying that their former exsistance will help chief survive.

Hey guys, I just figured out Master Chief is will return in Halo 4! I’m gonna go make a thread about it!
I wonder if 343 knew how badly they would be criticized for directions they could take the story even before they have officially announced… Welll, anything. It’s a daily event on waypoint… tsk tsk
OT, I trust them to do the right thing to blow my mind. If they do decide to flush out some forerunners then so be it. The forerunners have maintained a godlike appeal for an entire trilogy, it’s about time we learned the truth and got a proper perspective of their history. After learning of their bullying of the galaxy and devolving of the human race it should really push you into some critical thinking as to wheather or not they deserved such an appeal. Grow up people, we can’t be babied and believe in Santa forever.
I don’t know if someone posted this because I’m too lazy to read the previous posts but I’m gonna tell the spoiler. The Librarian is alive so she will be in Halo 4. Proof is in the end of Primordium.

It says she may have survived the firing of the Halo Array, but not that she is currently alive. If she is alive, it’s probable she no longer has a flesh and blood body, and may be a monitor or something similarOP: Frankie’s statement does not mean living Forerunners will be in Halo 4 or the Reclaimer trilogy. To say they will be important means next to nothing. They were important in the last trilogy of games, but none where featured.

That’s assuming you take what he says literally, which is often not wise. In this case it is especially unwise if you consider how old she would have to be. She was already the oldest living forerunner. It remains a possibility but I think it is more likely that she exists through a gea of some kind, probably within Halsey or cortana. but hey what do I know right? I think everyone one is going to be surprised at one thing or another.

The new Guilty Spark said after over 100,000 years of searching he found her. This is an indication that she is alive. She could be a monitor but Forerunners can live to be thousands of years old so it’s possible that she isn’t a monitor.

No matter what we will encounter Forerunners and Precursors in one way or another. Hopefully 343 will tell us how we will encounter them soon. If not soon then at E3.

Just think about it. What reasons do you think the forerunners would have to hide form the rest of the universe? Unless the precursors are part machine, I don’t think we could be seeing them again. If we don’t get them as enemies, I’m pretty sure that 343i will think of something.
