:I added Cryptum's cover to the gallery above. Has anyone else made the connection between this and the floating structures seen in Halo 4's concept art? I think the symbol could have been based upon/used to represent Forerunner architecture. Pause the concept art trailer at 0:43 and you can see another example of a similar structure. -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 07:33, 14 January 2012 (EST) | :I added Cryptum's cover to the gallery above.

:::Sorry, I must have misread your statement. There have been statements in the novels that Forerunner glyphs have multi-dimensional aspects, and we see a few symbols dissected in layers during animations in H:CEA. I suppose it makes sense that Forerunners would build using glyphs as an architectural basis, or vice versa. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[ | :::Sorry, I must have misread your statement.

So in conclusion what i'm getting at is that we add something along these lines to the article (probably in the overview): '''The total population of the entire Forerunner race is over 226,911,000,000.''' And then reference that to the first terminal text and maybe this post for reference on how that specific number came to be via inference. I wanted to run this past the site members to get feedback and so people understand the reasoning behind the aforementioned statement before it is included in the article, if included at all. Thanks for reading, please comment: | So in conclusion what i'm getting at is that we add something along these lines to the article (probably in the overview): '''The total population of the entire Forerunner race is over 226,911,000,000.'''

Nah, nothing. I just can't see the sign that says "this is a Forerunner." So either I'm stoned or it's as "clear" as you say it is.

What's stopping it simply being an infected human kept for study? The Halo research facilities would probably study a lot of different species' reactions to Flood infection. Even then, until it's ''confirmed'' to be a Forerunner, we can't just assume. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[ | What's stopping it simply being an infected human kept for study?

If I read Primordium correctly, the Flood weren't interested on infecting humans because they would be tested later on. Therefore this has to be a Forerunner. --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 01:52, 27 April 2012 (EDT) | If I read Primordium correctly, the Flood weren't interested on infecting humans because they would be tested later on.

Although most of them were wiped out by halo array a handful did survive I wonder what 343 have for this as 100000 years later their numbers would probably in the billions again.

:So far, 343i have said nothing about what happened to the handful of Forerunner surivors. They may have actually died out, they may have relocated and flourished elsewhere, or they may still be biding their time in Cryptums to reclaim their old empire. We just don't know.

I'm sorry, but it really bugs me how Forerunner names make NO SENSE AT ALL. e.x.: Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting. WHAT?? Chant-to-Green? Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns?????? First-Light-Weaves-Living-Songs??????????????????????????? | |||
