Everyone remembers this voice-over at the end of Halo 4. Notice the plural, “Forerunners.” Before you dismiss this, consider the implications. If one Forerunner can survive, why not millions? What if Humans were made Reclaimers just so that we could wake up the Forerunners when the galaxy was safe? Perhaps 343 doesn’t need to go back in time to make a game about the Human-Forerunner war because that’s what is coming next. After all, why would the Didact declare war on the Human race just by himself. Doesn’t he have better things to do? I think it’s because the Forerunner civilization survives, and they’re taking back the galaxy
When the Didact said that, I think he was saying that the Forerunner legacy would return. There are several Forerunners who are still alive, I imagine hundreds. And since 100,000 years have passed since the Activation, I’m sure many Forerunners have been born since then. One of the Forerunners who is more than likely alive is the Didact’s clone imprinted clone, the IsoDidact (Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting).
The Forerunners attacking humanity would spit in the face of the hopeful epilogue to Halo: Silentium. Halo doesn’t always need different species cutting each others throats.
I just want to kill Forerunners, but I was serious about our role as Reclaimers

A little late for that

How? The Didact doesn’t represent the entirety of the Forerunners. His kin left in peace 100,000 years ago with the Iso-Didact as friends with the human race.
Yeah, that was a hundred thousand years ago. Who do you think any surviving Forerunners are going to follow? It’ll be the legendary general of their own species, not his enemies

SMH OP. SMH. But ya captain obvious there, figured it out.
To the topic- those old forerunners from roughly 100,000 years ago are long gone out of this universe. We do not know what happened to them, nor does the Didact. But, he could be just talking about all his Prometheon robots, if it was a current statement and not past as some have theorized. I don’t see any connections or hints of any Forerunners coming back currently in this galaxy except for taking the Didact’s return words out of the Crytum which he is- composed and apparently still alive. I would think an older war, a game, from past events with the Lord of Admirals against the Forerunners of past would be pretty cool, but unlikely IMO.

“No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved!”–Mr. Incredible, The Incredibles, 2004.
Real life isn’t like a fairy tale or a decent book. Sadly, its plot is more like a video game, or a comic book, or tv series where the villains just keep on coming back again, and again, and again–and when you’ve finally gotten rid of one, another steps into place. That sounds depressing, and it goes hand in hand with the idea that, without villains, heroes do not exist. Without an enemy to fight, a soldier has no purpose.
I don’t foresee a family or quiet retirement in the future for the Master Chief. He’s going to go out with a bang.
The Forerunners after the Flood-Forerunner war, were nearly extinct, then they ALL left the galaxy save for the Ur-Didact, who was kept inside his Cryptum because he’s ape -Yoink- crazy.
There’s literally no reason why it would make sense that the Ur-Didact would have other Forerunners with him. If they wanted to destroy humanity they wouldn’t have de-volved them. It also completely goes against the acceptance of giving the Mantle up.
I can go on, and on, and on.

Yes, the IsoDidact. He’s the one who lead them at the end of the war.
The Ur-Didact was busy spreading misery to the Forerunners’ political leaders by reciting horiffying quotes from the Gravemind, sitting in his shield world while the rest of the Forerunners fought, and attacking a colony of humans on a halo and abandoning the last Forerunners at the Greater Ark to die.
Surviving Forerunners would follow the IsoDidact’s legacy.

The fact he got locked up in a giant metal ball within a giant metal ball and nobody ever came to save him from the surviving Forerunner population should also say something.

I think genocide might rule us out as a Mantle-worthy species.
