Human Genocide and Halo 4
So. The Covenant used to believe that the Forerunners believed Humanity to be heretical, and thus launched a 27-year war of genocide.
BUT in Contact Harvest, it is revealed that this is a pretense to prevent knowledge of Humanity's being reclaimers escaping, so apparently the whole thing was a sham.
EXCEPT on Requiem, we learn that the sole surviving Forerunner really does want Humanity destroyed, and the Storm gleefully follows him. So they were right all along, in a roundabout manner. Funny.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xi43 I believe The Didact was the only Forerunner who didn't like humans.[/quote] xi43 is correct. It's stated throughout the books that the Didact was the only Forerunner that despised all Humanity for entering Forerunner space and attacking them. What the Didact really didn't understand is that the Ancient Humans knew how to destroy the Flood and were ultimately using their own methods similar to the Covenants "glassing of planets" to eradicate the Flood. The Didact only paid attention to the number of Forerunners that died against the Humans. Edit* To contribute, the Didact also felt that the Forerunners were the only known species to be worthy of upholding the Mantle and that the Human's were not and are still not.
