New Forerunner Worlds?

So… just winding down for the night and had a mental itch I wanted to scratch. The original trilogy had the rings. Halo 4 had the shield world. Anyone have any creative ideas for more forerunner constructs that could appear in Halo 5?

I specifically mean new world geometries, but really anything would do. An example of something that would work is a double torus, but its not that compelling an idea compared to a ring unless you were able to do something weird with the physics.

Nothing wrong at all with the Halos, and I actually hope we spend more time on them. Just letting the old noodle wander.

Maybe after 100000 years Ghibalb the forerunner native planet has become habitable again its not probable but possible

It suffered from several supernovas destroying its biosphere, I don’t think it could recover from that. And this could’ve been millions of years in the Forerunner’s past, so it isn’t like Chernobyl where people can go back into about 600 years from now.

I’m pretty sure that we’ll be returning to the Lesser Ark in Halo 5, but Installation 07 is still calling my name… I want those Proto-Graveminds… Badly…

That would make a dark conclusion to Spartan Ops, having Infinity go to i07 and bite off a little more than it can chew, wouldn’t it?

The locations in each game were unique a had added something new and refreshing and yet kept to the roots of halo. Locations as follows:

Halo 5
Unknown location…

Mention in the books are some unique installations, shields, forerunner designs:
- The Capital - mentioned in the terminals and books.
- The Absolute Record - mentioned in books.
- Arks - mentioned in books, videos and games.
- Halos Rings - mentioned in books, videos, terminals, games.
- Shield Worlds - mentioned in books, videos, terminals, games.
- Moons - mention in game.

How about the insides of an active, interactive, enormous Forerunner construct?

I.e. this huge thing seen in Halo Legends episode Origins
i.e. a Strato-Sentinel was originally going to be Halo 3 Blackout’s canonical setting

How about a real forunner city, like one of the Halo rpg concepts http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=halo+rpg+concept+art&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=X-uiKzMMo6psZM&tbnid=-j68IVXWFw8FxM:&ved=0CAMQjhw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fve3d.ign.com%2Fimages%2F55943%2FXbox-360%2FHalo-MMO-Project%2FConcept-Art%2FSeptember-21st-Concept-Art&ei=nCQ3UvWsB8XX2AX4qoCIDg&psig=AFQjCNFid6agPTL4q76kUlvriSHkUaJ2nA&ust=1379431952403252. A location like this especially if it lets you explore it would be a very interesting location.

I would definitely like to see something like the Capital. So far all we have seen in the games are Forerunner military or scientific installations. Time for some cities.

To Trevelyan :stuck_out_tongue:

I think Halo 5 will be chief looking for a way to bring back cortana at the lesser ark and finds the didact alive building a halo ring with his promeathean army and the covenant. Toward the end of halo 5 the didact has cortana but she is corrupted. The didact uses cortana to move the ring around earth, with a full scale invasion. End of halo 5 (like a halo 2 cliff-hanger). Just my guess though…

> Toward the end of halo 5 the didact has cortana but she is corrupted.

I actually like the idea that Cortana herself is the main antagonist in Halo 5. She is corrupted and trying to enforce containment protocol. Chief has to try and reclaim (RECLAIMER SAGA!) her while also holding the fate of the galaxy in the balance.

Would at least give Jen Taylor plenty of opportunities for maniacal, emotionally broken laughter.

I just hope we end up on a halo ring. I was kind of sad that we were in a space station orbiting one in halo 4, rather than being on it.

Try about 25,000 years buddy

That would be pretty cool.

I heard the radiation will be there for 25,000 years, but it will be ok enough in about 600 years for people to go back. Just what I heard, I’m no scientist.

500 years till people can go back and about 40,000 till all the radiation is gone. looked it up because it was an interesting argument
