does it vibrate when it's shoved inside the rectum of a reclaimer?

The Covenant's sacred icon is just a Forerunner USB drive

I thought it was like a bitcoin secure key.

We shall cut into the heart of this infestation,retrieve the icon,and burn any flood that stand in our way!

arggg

Why would the Forerunners keep the start key to a Halo in some big labyrinth, but then the Ark just has a big glowing button that any Reclaimer can just waltz by and push to murder everything?

>its a solid hologram that flood just phase through

I think because the Ark only can start the fire if the rings are in hot standby from an abort (meaning a key was inserted and removed before a ring could fire). Also it required a human or forerunner gene sample.

Has been found. With it, our path is clear. Our entry into the divine beyond guaranteed...

He means the ring was already activated once.

Who wrote this?

Because the rings have been fired before and that line was written while the prevailing idea within Bungie was that Humans=Forerunners

I did

>tfw fighting to turn off the shield generators in halo 2 was completely pointless since you could just crash a pelican through the glass to the controls
>tfw Chief could've set off High Charity's reactor instead of leaving Cortana to blow the human ship's engines again which she didn't do anyways

In the end it works out because the Librarian gave Humans full access. So maybe the easy way to do that was for the Monitors to see Forerunner = Human.

Was it 343 then that retconned that idea and made the Forerunners a different species and humans into another ancient civilization?

sharpie in pooper, Joe.

The terminals in Halo 3 allude to them being different. It seems that Bungie's writers had some trouble deciding if they wanted them to be or not.

Where did the gravemind come from in Halo 2? Had it been there the whole time?

By that time all the Covenant air and anti air had been taken out. And Chief was too busy chasing Truth to stop and destroy High Charity.

Playing through the halo series for the first time on PC, finished 3 and im heading onto reach. Im just kinda left confused on how that halo in 3 only destroyed the flood, but everyone else got to live.

The halo that fired in 3 was near the ark, which is far outside of the Milky Way Galaxy, and everyone else fucked off before it was fired.

50,000 years of gestation after breaking out and consuming at least 1/10 of Delta Halo's biomass, during the events of H2 it was always there.
They made it out, what do you mean?

how did that based retard get so much control and ruin the franchise?

My pure assumption is:
1. Due to negligence from monitor 2401, the Flood samples in containment are able to break out
2. Flood begins accumulating biomass from the local fauna (mostly plants), grows to a state powerful enough to capture 2401
3. The backup failsafe protocols trigger the Sentinels to put up the Quarantine Zone area, containing the Flood to the area around the Library. Gravemind is still able to find some gaps in the tunnels running other Halo (which is how he grabs Chief).

Only thing it doesn't really explain is how it got to such a high level of intelligence so quickly when the Covenant just landed.

Old canon is that humans were forerunner.

New canon is that the IsoDidact (good one) activated the rings with guilty spark 100,000 years ago and they had a conversation. This is a callback to that conversation because there was a geas (memory imprint) inside chief from the isodidact. He carries his soul basically and this is just another plot point 343 will drop.

He's been alive and conscious for thousands of years.
