In the war between the Forerunners and the Precursors, what weapons do you think the Forerunners used on the Precursors and how difficult do think it was, killing off one of the Precursors as a Forerunner?
Would you like to play a Halo game as a Forerunner, fighting Precursors, Humans and Flood?
I don’t know the answers to your first few questions (I don’t even know if the answers exist) but to answer your second question, the Forerunner-Precursor War and the Forerunner-Flood war were millions of years apart so they’d have to be two different games. While I can’t see either game being made in the near future I think I would prefer seeing the Forerunner-Flood War over the Forerunner-Precursor War, since that is more interesting to me.

I must say I agree with you! Imagine fithing popcorn flood, tank flood, human flood with rocket launchers and shotguns and maybe the juggernaut flood that got taken away from Halo 2 anniversary as a Forerunner and your teammates would be knights, watchers, crawlers, sentinels, monitors and the huge shielded sentinel from Halo 2

Wouldn’t be much of a game since the Precursors let themselves die because as we saw with the Forerunner trilogy, their gardening tools can wipe out everything the Forerunners had and were immune to just about everything they could throw at them (anti matter, plasma, lasers, hardlight, particle weaponry, supernovas, etc).

Plus, I’d rather that the Precursors be the last mystery in the Halo universe - as in, I’d rather not know what they originally looked like. Some mystery actually is great for a franchise.

We will never see their original forms, ever. Why?
Halo: Silentium, page 321, “The Precursors lived in many shapes, flesh and spirit, primitive and advanced, spacefaring and locked to their worlds … Evolved over and over again, died away, were reborn, explored, and seeded many galaxies …”
And they enjoy being the Flood so the only way we will see their original forms is if 343i pulls an extreme retcon on them.
Seeing as Precursors were pacifists, I imagined they didn’t have the weapons to kill Forerunners with. All they had to do was breach their defenses abd begin the slaughter.

I’m not sure where you got that from. The reason the Precursors turned into the Flood was because the powder form they were in became defective, so when they regenerated they turned into a very primitive version of the Flood we know today.

I certainly wouldn’t enjoy being a Flood form! D: Lol. Then you have Graveminds and the Primordial who are very happy being the malicious blobs of yuck they are.

It’s from Silentium or Primordium IIRC.

They didn’t need weapons, their gardening tools (Star Roads) could have wiped out the Forerunners had they actually tried to fight against them.

Exactly. The only valid explanation is that they didn’t fight back.
Well the Precursors were an extremely pacifistic race and as far as we know had no weapons… Their belief in the mantle held all life as sacred and wouldn’t kill even in self defence. Their constructs were invulnerable to anything and everything bar a Halo pulse attuned to the correct frequency but their bodies still existed as flesh and blood though in many different forms (not counting the spirit ones) so given the time at which the Forerunner-Precursor war happend it’s most likely that the Foreuners were about as advanced as the covenant in 2552 ( they had FTL travel, plasma weaponry, shields and armour not to dissimilar to Mjolinir)
remember the Precursors basically let themselves be destroyed because of their belief in the mantle and their surprise that any of their creations could reach out in such force and destruction against those that created them.
as for a game meh it would have to be somewhat unofficial otherwise the events that happen would have to be considered canon which would only lead to events,places etc that could clash with any future media.
as for their appearance it’s stated that they had many some physical some spirit so a basic look that speaks for all wouldn’t be possible. Though the closest thing we have is a fan pic (either that or it’s official) of the primordial. Before it went flood and when it was in the Time lock.

That was the impression I was under as well. They could have wiped the floor with the Forerunners had they so chosen. They couldn’t bear to fight back against their “children”.

I am reading through Silentium right now, and I still can’t understand the moving tangle of Star Roads that the Didact and Catalog see. How do they become this wriggling mass that can crush planets? For that matter, what are the Roads made of? Are they physical matter, like the Halo rings? Or something else? It’s something that’s never described in enough detail and therefore makes such scenes really difficult to imagine. I don’t believe there’s even been official, canon artwork of them.

They are made out of Neural Physics, aka space magic. They can travel at 1/3 of the speed of light when not using their FTL, change their mass at will, slice apart entire star systems, connect entire star systems together, shut down AIs/weapons/ FTL travel for Forerunner ships, perform FTL jumps, and were considered completely indestructible to Forerunners. Neural Physics is something else entirely as anti matter or Slipspace weaponry have no effect on it.
There are not that many details so we have only the details in the books. And there isn’t any canon art of them because they have only appeared in the books.

Interesting. Sometimes I can’t help but think of them as physical bands, like Halos, especially with the “slicing star systems” detail. It’s difficult to grasp.
I think the weapons that the Forerunners used might have been like the Halo rings, but scaled-down and used in warships and hand-held firerarms.

Same. And do note that isn’t a single one doing slicing apart a star system, it’s a group (forgot to mention that in my rush of typing it).
I’m assuming that the precursors either
A: were in sheer awe of the forerunners rage
B: didn’t want to kill their creations so they tried to run
C: like B they ran but a few fought but they were overwhelmed with numbers
