Precursors, Chief's Greatest Enemy?

Games Other Halo
1

I am now 99% sure that precursors will be in the game, if you don’t know what they are. here’s some concept art. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120422232143/halo/images/thumb/9/97/The_Precursor.jpg/830px-The_Precursor.jpg

They are also supposed to be 40-50ft tall, so I think they will be a noble enemy. On top of it all, it is rumored that the precursors created the flood during the precursor-forerunner war.

All in all, do you think they will be MC’s greatest enemy?

also, I have a feeling we will have forerunner allies, but its just an idea.

where did you get this information? great find though!

Halopedian and Halo Nation, and thanks!

Its a possibility, just have to be even more patient until they reveal it.

idk, those pics match pretty well…

6

I thought their technology was far beyond the Covenants and UNSC’s to the extent that a war would only last hours…?

7

i have never actually seen a precursor before. but i have seen the “Caveot” picture on the right, but seeing the comparison… i think youre right. Precursors have returned, and angered with Humanities victory over the flood, are hungry for revenge. i like it.

8

I would be surprised if precursors weren’t the main enemy

maybe there is going to be a canon reason as to why humanity will actually stand a chance. i think it will be something like in a different galaxy, they were defeated by som enemy (Flood? creators defeating their masters) and it will be like ancient humanity, were their technology got basically reset. so now they are on par with humanity (besides the fact they are obviusly stronger)

10

Precursors Don’t Exist Anymore. At least i think. I haven’t finished the second greg bear novel. But there was only 1 left at the beginning.

11

> Precursors Don’t Exist Anymore.

never confirmed. i think what happened was during the Forerunner-Precursor war they fled the Galaxy and then created the flood, then came back and dropped off their present as payback to the Forerunners. so maybe in a way, the Forerunner-Flood war was a continuation of the Forerunner-Precursor war.

12

I thought the Forunners killed all the Precursors except one, who escaped and in his place was the Gravemind that converted Mendicant Bias.

If there were Precursors, then humanity is screwed. How do you kill beings that are, as the Forerunners label them, “Trans-Sentient”? The Forerunners supposedly may have beaten them once, but I don’t really know the circumstances behind that win.

I do know that if the Forerunners got destroyed because of one Precursor, then humanity is surely hopeless.

13

Remember, forerunners beat precursors in war, and now we have forerunner technology, we just might stand a chance.

14

It sounds like this is going to be one hell of a fight…

15

> Remember, forerunners beat precursors in war, and now we have forerunner technology, we just might stand a chance.

But the original Gravemind that killed off the Forerunners was created by a single Precursor…

I think there may be more context to the Forerunner v. Precursor war than we currently have knowledge of.

16

the precursors are all peoples of the mantles enemy . unless we amuse them they / the ancient one said humans have yet to prove them selfs they are looking for someone to uphold the mantle

17

I found a picture in the spartan ops video, skip to 1:28, there is a poster next to the guy and the alien thing is nothing I’ve seen, possibly a precursor. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/04/18/spartan-ops-the-bold-new-co-op-of-halo-4.aspx

18

good find my boy that looks like the ancient one as it is described I do believe that to be true find of the decade

19

first off, there is only one left. second off they have 4 arms, and lost we are fighting the forerunners. look at the top right

20

oh it could be a war sphinx huh didn’t think of it that way
