[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Xd00999 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] 1. Ancilla itself is latin for "slave woman" or close to it. Were the forerunner AI's friends to the forerunners or tools? They were limited whereas cortana isn't held back. 2.It was from the inside which you know would make the blast stronger. We see a blast from inside the keyship blowing a hole in it in Uprising. 3.Gameplay. In cryptum the weapons change according to what is using them as a safe guard. The weapon descriptions themselves state what they forerunners used them as. Such as the Light rifle being a sniper and from the terminals the Boltshot was like the DMR (hence it having a laser sight which snipers wouldn't) and so on. The terminals show them in a completely different light so look at that. 4. Gameplay in which the heights (while far better) are still limited. FRom now on we are going off the CGI shots in regards to all of that stuff. 5. I honestly didn't see anything wrong with that.
