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.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sealskie I think the Forerunners seemed weaker for two reasons. For one, humanity did catch up a little bit. That is a factor. But, also, gameplay. 343i did say they would sacrifice a little bit of canon for gameplay. Well, I think the Forerunners being a bit water-downed is an affect of that. Which, is understandable. If the Forerunners were portrayed fully as what they're chalked up to be...There wouldn't be a game. They would just obliterate the UNSC. So, I think that is the reason.[/quote] But the only Forerunner you fight is the Didact, the Prometheans are all combat forms of ancient humans anyways.
