What I'll do when I get the game?

Forward unto Dawn -> Campaign -> Spartan Ops -> Forge -> War Games, followed by a lot of Forging, Mp'ing and waiting for the next batch of Spartan Ops missions. :D

Something that I don't get is that what I'm getting from Halo 4 is that the Forunners are evil but in the books they aren't....what am I missing (I haven't read the latest Halo book though).

Well they are evil.....towards humanity. They kinda reduced our space faring society to cave man status, imposed genetic imprints to make us hostile towards eachother and therefore make it harder to unite as one, and put old spirits inside our ancestors to one day use us to fight the Flood.

The book Cryptum didnt portray the Foreunners as evil because it was told from their perspective. Offcourse they won't think themselves as evil. But in Halo Primordium, you really got the impression at least from the human perspective that the Forunners were loathed and hated by the ancient humans. They were abused like cattle from the Master Builder.

Only the librarian saw the potential and the good side to humans. Otherwise, Forerunners are considered evil.....from the human perspective mind you. And as a literal human being (you and me), we are obligated to hate them as well for what they did to fictional humans in the past :P



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Have you read any of the books in the foreunner saga? it explains pretty well why a forerunner would think of us as one of the greatest threats in the galaxy. I dont want to spoil anything for anyone but lets just say we have an extensive past with the forerunners. Although I do admit that there are definitely some lingering questions but I think the game will attempt to explain those.

Yeah I have read the books but as far as I could tell the books didn't portray the Forerunners as being evil. Either way I should reserve my judgement on this matter for when I finish Halo 4. I'm sure they will tie everything together quite nicely.

Yea I understand what your saying, why would they specifically use the word evil. While the forerunners have made questionable, sometimes reckless decisions they were not what you would think of as evil.

Maybe it has something to do with the Precursor from Cryptum? I havn't read Primordium yet but the timeless one seemed like a pretty evil badass mofo to me. Maybe were all consumed with the Didact when he is the real threat behind the scenes.

You should read Primordium. Humans were treated like cattle, were constantly experimented on. And id hardly call the near genocide of humanity, reducing them to hunter gatherer status "reckless".

I suppose but I didn't think they were so against us that they would shoot first and ask questions later (although that may not be the case) and be portrayed as evil. But I suppose anything that attacks humanity would be considered evil plus the Forerunners must have been pretty surprised and threatened to wake up to humanity being the (known) dominant race in the galaxy.

@TADS: Still didn't work for me >_<

 

Edit: I have to say the MP maps in Halo 4 look REALLY good. About as good as Halo 3's (if not better) and soo much better than Halo: Reach's.
