Is anyone else concerned with what 343i did?

I think I’am the only one that I know that has noticed that 343i screwed up HALOs lore, I mean they made the Fourunners an alien race when orginaly BUNGIE intended for fourunners to be ancient humans not the sister race of of humans, as they are now in this twisted and off canon -Yoink- hill of a story presented by 343i, and WTF is this precursor BS, this is’nt Jak and Dexter 343i.Not mentioning that MASTER CHIEF is way too chatty in HALO 4, like what happen did he take some brain damage while crash landing in the first mission, and then desided to change personalties.I seriously don’t even really want to buy HALO 5 on the next gen XBOX anymore.But really did 343i just forget what guilty spark said in HALO 3 to MASTER CHIEF, “You are FOURUNNER, child of my creators and inheritor of all they left behind” seriously how much more clear does that have to be for one to understand that humans where reclaiming there farthers empire, hints the reason guilty spark always called MASTER CHIEf and every other human RECLAIMER.I mean now it doesnt even make sence how humans are able to activate FOURUNNER tech and every other race can’t not to mention going by 343i version theres no reason the COVENAINT even attacked humanity, which was orginaly because humans where FOURUNNERs but they where still in their physical form so they desided that we where the demons or undesirables of their gods the FOURUNNERS and that it was their duty to purge are filth from exsistance in the name of their gods.

I saw the part about Forerunner being humans and stopped reading right there.

that has never been the story. That one line that 343 guilty spark said has misled so many people

dude you have your lore alllll messed up. Where did Bungie ever say forerunners were ancient humans? 343 is going off of what Bungie left them. The covenant didn’t attack us because they though we were forerunners, they attacked us because we were intruding on the so called “religious” halos that they believed was the passage way to their heaven. The covenant we fight in Halo 4 is actually the Storm Covenant, which is a faction of the covenant (which have a truce with the humans) commanded by Jul Mdama. Only humans can activate forerunner tech because we were destined to hold the mantle. We are their descendents. And the precursors were made by Bungie, not 343. They came even before the forerunners and humans. The forerunners eliminated them in a war, but some escaped to unknown locations (it is believed that the flood is actually a form of the precursors).

try reading into the lore before bashing 343.

Firstly spaces please.

Secondly stop being hostile.

Now to get on with this. That line spark said wasn’t true. He has been in service for a long time and among other things. He was malfunctioning. Forunner was never human. Or related. Halo 4-6 is exploring chief as a PERSON. 343 said this. It is odd but not wrong and doesn’t break cannon. halo 1-3 was about the war not the chief. 5-6 is about the chief. The rest i don’t understand what your saying.

They probably hired Treyarch to write the story

I’m honestly not that worried at all.

It is true that Bungie originally intended for the human race to be the remnants of the Forerunners, but I’m totally cool with their new spin on the Halo universe because it doesn’t retcon established canon, for one, and for two, they do have a dedicated team of lore buffs / writers who have access to, and in some cases wrote sections of the Halo Bible, the extensive catalog of established Halo Canon which, if I may gently remind you, you do not have access to.

It’s understandable that you may be frustrated, even angry, because changes in Halo 4 seem to contradict the canon established in Halo 3. It’s not that easy to condone that same rage if it’s not backed up by solid evidence, as those before me have pointed out quite reasonably.

Also, I’m not very inclined to take your ostensible expertise on Halo lore very seriously if you can’t get the words Forerunner and Covenant right. Sorry :confused:

Didn’t the Covenant attack humanity because Mendicant Bias marked them as Reclaimers on Harvest and Truth didn’t want the Covenant to split and make him lose power?

And didn’t the Halo 3 Terminals, in the conversations between the Librarian and the Didact, the Librarian stated that humanity was a different race from the Forerunners?

The story is organic.

343i are in charge of Halo. MS owns 343i.

As the owners of the property, they can do what they want.

Bungie originally intended for the Forerunners to be humans, that much is true. What you’ve got wrong is that 343 are the ones who made them alien. During the course of Halo 3’s development Bungie changed their mind (they’ve confirmed this, I’ll see if I can find a source), as such, the Terminals in Halo 3 confirmed that the two species were different. 343’s new canon has brought the two a little closer once more, with the introduction of the Ancient human civilization and the suggestions of a shared origin.

I totally agree with you! What was 343i thinking?!!!

> I mean they made the Fourunners an alien race when orginaly BUNGIE intended for fourunners to be ancient humans not the sister race of of humans, as they are now in this twisted and off canon Yoink!

“facepalm” and you misspelled covenant -_-

This has to be a trol thread…

Fairly certain your thesis is wrong. Forerunners were never intended to be ancient humans.

HOWEVER, I can see how such a misunderstanding can happen.

IMO the canon has been more difficult to follow since 343 took over. This isn’t a bad thing necessarily, but it is challenging.

I find it difficult to place many of the other story archs (K5, Forerunner trilogy, Ops, Domain Terminals) into the existing canonical timeline. My hope is that H5/6 will do as much to tie up loose ends as it does explore the Chief as a character.

Meh, frankly I’m liking where 343 is taking this and the spin they put on the forerunner and human origins.

I think the lore 343 has created was very uninteresting.

Sorry english is not my first langage.

I’m just gonna dissect this and then leave. You have your lore messed up badly.

> I think I’am the only one that I know that has noticed that 343i screwed up HALOs lore, I mean they made the Fourunners an alien race when orginaly BUNGIE intended for fourunners to be ancient humans not the sister race of of humans…The hell? I’m sorry, have you ever read the books? Go read one of the forerunner ones. The Forerunners ARE the ‘sister’ race of the Ancient humans. The End., as they are now in this twisted and off canon Yoink! hill of a story presented by 343i, and WTF is this precursor BSUgh. The Precursors are the creators of the life in the Galaxy. It’s called fleshing out the lore and adding to it, instead of leaving it stale. AAgain, this would make sense IF YOU READ THE BOOKS., this is’nt Jak and Dexter 343i.Not mentioning that MASTER CHIEF is way too chatty in HALO 4It’s SUPPOSED to explore his character instead of letting him be a 2D character that only had personality in the books., like what happen did he take some brain damage while crash landing in the first mission, and then desided to change personalties.I seriously don’t even really want to buy HALO 5 on the next gen XBOX anymore.But really did 343i just forget what guilty spark said in HALO 3 to MASTER CHIEF, "You are FOURUNNER, child of my creators and inheritor of all they left behind"Oh Lord, take me now. He said YOU ARE RECLAIMER. Not FORERUNNER. RECLAIMER. seriously how much more clear does that have to be for one to understand that humans where reclaiming there farthers empireThe blatant ignorance of all Halo lore is horrifying! If you had READ THE BOOKS you would know that Humanity was mean’t to take the mantle of the Forerunners should they become extinct., hints the reason guilty spark always called MASTER CHIEf and every other human RECLAIMER.I mean now it doesnt even make sence how humans are able to activate FOURUNNER tech and every other race can’tBecause they were meant to RECLAIM the technology. Not the other races. HUMANITY. not to mention going by 343i version theres no reason the COVENAINT even attacked humanity, which was orginaly because humans where FOURUNNERs but they where still in their physical form so they desided that we where the demons or undesirables of their gods the FOURUNNERS and that it was their duty to purge are filth from exsistance in the name of their gods.Because the Prophets discovered that the Humans were found desecrating a holy relic of the Covenant. There is more, but I doubt you could handle it.

I find it so ironic how you yell at 343 for not knowing anything about the lore, yet this post proves that you know jack squat about it yourself.

> The covenant didn’t attack us because they though we were forerunners, they attacked us because we were intruding on the so called “religious” halos that they believed was the passage way to their heaven.

Wow, this line is a failure and… fixed. The Covenant ruled by Truth did attack the humans because he thought they were forerunners left behind, and this idea would destroy the whole point of the Covenant’s believes. Then the oracle explained to Truth that humans weren’t forerunners but the right inheritors of the Forerunners legacy.

Truth used this information to his own gain since he could detect humans with forerunner technology as “relics” but instead he tricked the whole covenant telling them humans were there to destroy any trace of Forerunner’s legacy.
