Re: What's the point?

perhaps they did. Perhaps they felt this was their fitting 'end', their atonement would be to fade away, and let a new galaxy populate in their wake. Most likely, they left the galaxy, and left their systems intact in order to repopulate the galaxy post-firing. Thus the theory that MC and Cortana ar...

Re: Contact Harvest resurrects a long dead theory***SPOILER ALER

It's a possibly, sure, but the primary definition is simply basically the ones who came before. Just because it's a capitali...

Re: Contact Harvest resurrects a long dead theory***SPOILER ALER

well, I'd assume that in translating to english, 343 would know the definition of Forerunner: 1. One that precedes, as in time; a predecessor. 2. An ancestor; a forebear. 3. One that comes before and indicates the approach of another; a harbinger. 4. A warning sign or symptom. of which I still hold ...

Re: Progress can and may have blinded you.

A good story teller does not say things directly only to not really mean them, if you don't take things directly then you are essentially saying that Bungie are not good story tellers.

Re: Progress can and may have blinded you.

heh um... I think I mentioned that a few posts ago :P (and I'm sure I'm not the first to have thought of it anyhow)
