Forerunners in Halo 4 (spoilers)
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.

I remember the Didact saying "advanced ancilla" rather derisively, as if to scoff at the notion that Cortana was advanced. Which makes sense. She goes rampant after 7 years like every other "advanced" human AI, but some of the AIs by the Forerunners, 343 GS, can last hundreds of thousands of years in isolation without ever entering rampancy. And there were thousands of monitors like 343, but only a select few chosen for the Halos. I'm going to say that the Didact refers to Cortana being an advanced Ai as sarcasm.
