i got to thinking since 343 is making a who new trilogy and said the covenant war would be like a fight among children compared to what is in store for humanity. and the covenant wiped out like what 70 maybe 80% of human controlled space??? what in the universe could do such a thing… precursors??? we know they are still alive and that they DO wanna test humans for the mantle or could it be some remnant forerunners that some how survived that want there power back???
now with that in mind if we do have to face precursors (now ur ignornant if u think we wont face them at all it is too imbue into the books which will be linked to the new series) and them being gone for 100k+ years (maybe millions)from our galaxy who knows what they could have accomplished they could have become very (REAPER) like as it seems that way to me since they in a way destroyed the forerunners as to pass the mantle on to humanity. i just hope if this is the case, i hope john doesnt have decisions much like shepard had at the end of mass effect 3 and we dont get trolled ( yes i know its a different company and different games etc.)but i just hope we dont get disappointed with a tragic chief death (bungie summoned it up without making us feel he was doomed) lets hope 343 doesnt disappoint
