[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] UL7IM4 G33K Really? Cause last I heard those books drastically changed what the Forerunners were.[/quote] Explain what the Forerunners "were" before the Forerunner Saga then, with reference only to canonical information and without personal bias from your interpretation. Because I can pretty clearly tell you that: A) They were not changed. B) What they are presented as being in the Forerunner Saga is implied, hinted at, and outright said in the Halo 3 Terminals. [quote]My point is they demonstrated a huge disconnection from manipulating the living. In fact, they went so far as to create slipspace stasis pods to preserve themselves. If the Forerunners were so keen on sticking dead/near dead of their species into machine shells then why go to such lengths to preserve their original lives?[/quote] 1) Promethean-Knights evidently cannot be infected by the Flood, it has been said several times that these beings and their weaponry was designed to counter the Flood. 2) Forerunners rarely died, but when they did their memory was placed in a Durance which could function for 500,000 years - the Didact did this to all of his children and implanted their memories into War Sphinxes. 3) Promethean-Knights may well be 'composed' Warrior-Servants, meaning that the other castes of Forerunner society would not have been 'composed', thus they use the slipspace pods. [quote]There is a significant change in their behavior in those two books from what was hinted at (heavily so from what information we got in GoO). I mean, there aren't even drones on this installation.[/quote] Er... No idea how you came to that conclusion when [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nkBva4ISoo&list=FL_CbwmZTY6_h1uByvyyBpQw&index=4&feature=plpp_video]Sentinels are confirmed to be in Halo 4, as you can see them in several clips[/url]. We got very little information about the Forerunners in Ghosts of Onyx... All we got was the Shield World and Onyx Sentinels, we got absolutely nothing on the Forerunners [i]themselves[/i], just more on their creations. [quote]I'm fine with a new enemy, I like the concept of the Prometheans. What I do not like is that they've altered the Forerunners to fit the Prometheans into the story.[/quote] There has been no alteration...
