This thread is for ideas for a trilogy about the war the forerunners had with the Precursors and the flood and how it could possibly tie in with the reclaimer trilogy
Work in progress.These 3 games would be based around the 3 books,Cryptum,Primordium and silentium,they would be FPS games where you play as a promethean or possibly the Didact and using forerunner AIs,Sentinals and Vehicles at your disposal.It could possibly tie the whole story together exploring the forerunners in much more depth and exploring the precursors at the flood and in the final game Silentium the Halo array will be activated and it would also lead up to the events of Halo 4 100,000 years later.
Major things that will take place in the games:
MB going rampant
Precurors releasing the flood
Forerunner VS humans
We will see chakas,riser,faber in the games and play a huge role.
The killing of the San’Shyuum (Not sure if i spelled that right but) and the release of the primordial and the time lock
Bornstellar becoming the didact
The forerunner precursor war
The building of the Halo array and shield worlds.
The activation of the Halo array
I will be starting with Primordium because i remember it better and i cant refference cryptum at the moment my friend is borrowing it.
Gameplay
You will play as the Didact in game,there will be more added parts aside from the books considering its a trilogy based around him.Civilians will be wearing combat armor to protect themselves against the flood.You will have a war sphinx for you to use in some parts in the game.You also have Evade,a hard light shield and the ability to mutate but its recharge rate is slow.You also have AI support, and the help of offensive Bias in some parts of the game acting like the Didacts Cortana.There will be many city parts where you have to protect civilians and lead a small company of other prometheans about 5 of them and you will also be able to call in crawlers you will always have a watcher and a knight will be helping you in some parts .All your weapons will obviously be of forerunner descent there will not be health packs or anything like that.Basically your the forerunner version of Master chief.You will also fight precursors but you will have the company of prometheans.There will also be Space combat against the humans to fill that craving and love for space combat many people has had since reach.
Also reserved for more space.
Well, I don’t know. Halo is kind of associated with playing as a super soldier. ODST was okay because it was an add-on for Halo 3, say what you want… it was an add on. I think they could make a whole new series in the universe that has to do with the Forerunners fighting the flood. Maybe they could make a bigger gametype where you have to cleanse a flood nest (is that what it’s called?) There could be the fighting of flood, then you could have to fight the Gravemind like a boss, kinda like Lost Planet. Also, they could make thee multiplayer you create a Forerunner, not a Spartan and get to customize their power armor. Also, if you have played it, Left 4 Dead 2 had that mode where the enemy team played as zombies, there could be a gametype like that. Overall, I think this would be a great area to look into for a future game. So sure, but not under the Halo title…
The Flood are nasty.
The Forerunners are jerks.
The Precursors have a skewered concept of life.
The Covenant are headless chickens.
The Humans are stuck in the middle of it.

Technically it makes more sense then the Halo we have now,considering the forerunners made the rings and part of the war was based around the rings.
Wouldn’t the Forerunner vs Precursor war be a completely different story from the Forerunner vs Flood war?
Anyway, FPS FTW!!

No because it was brought on by the precursors.

But still, isn’t there a VERY large gap between wars? I haven’t read the books yet, but I’ve herd some stuff.

ODST was also an amazing game, just saying…

One does not simply, explain the lore of Halo.

Actually yes it would be different. The Forerunner-Precursor War was millions of years before the Forerunner-Flood War. Just because the Precursors sent the Flood doesn’t mean they are the same deal.

I know but it would be easier and be a better game if they were in the same game wheater it be seperated by the didact going into a cryptum like the chief going into cryo.
