After playing Halo 4, did the Forerunners come off as weak to anyone else? Cortana is considered an advanced/evolved Ancilla by the Didact, which implies that Forerunner Ancilla aren't that different from Cortana. A single nuke can completely destroy Didact's ship. Forerunner weapons didn't seem all that strong. Didact was much shorter than 15 feet. A single shot from a Mammoth rail gun can destroy massive Forerunner structures.
I am not complaining, the campaign was great, but the Forerunners seemed weak after the Forerunner trilogy hyped them up.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PISTOLSQUIRREL I loved the game, but I too was wondering why everything seemed a little weaker for an 'enlightened' race. Didact is too small also.[/quote] Aside from gameplay balance, there's also the fact that we still haven't seen the Forerunners themselves in their full strength, just their descendant machines and some of their creations. The Forerunners of the past are dead, they've regressed to become weaker.
