I actually want to slap the shit out of Greg Bear for what he did to the Halo franchise. He made the forerunners into the most generic Sci-fi alien race ever. The way he handled the Human side of the story was downright insulting. He made a lot of unnecessary additions that were downright lame to the story. And 343 basically made the forerunners look the part. Their artistic style doesn't at all "ancient" or "alien". It just looks like a futuristic floaty space junk rather than ancient monuments or stoic relics. And his handling of the Precursors and Flood is basically something straight out of a ridiculously OP DC universe super villain. It's all just so silly now.

  • I get that. Totally. The mutation/evolution/class stuff (like actual Promethean Vision) was about as "alien" as they got. They were very much a human analog. But maybe that was on purpose, though? Frankly the Forerunners had the bar set too high... IMHO, they should have been what the Precursors are now... Completely unknowable and indescribable. I hope we never get insight into the Precursors. Whatever 343 comes up with is going to disappoint a halfway active imagination. I'm a bigger fan of Bears other stuff, like Eon and Forge of God.
