Okay I got the gist of it. So what is the deal with the forerunners and the rings?
English
-
Forerunners are an old civilization that was the dominant race in the Milky Way for around 10,000,000 years. They upheld the Mantle of Responsibility, which is guardianship of all life in the galaxy. Approximately 100,000 years ago, the Flood entered our galaxy from beyond its borders and laid siege to the Forerunners. Misappropriating the Flood as a disease rather than the true cosmic horror it is lead the Forerunners to severely misjudge the Flood, allowing them to make serious gains into their civilization. By the time the Forerunners realized the true threat the Flood had posed it was too late. Eventually, they made use of Halo, a weapon initially designed to combat the Flood's advance. A weapon capable of killing sentient life. Tuned to a proper frequency, Halo could encompass the entire galaxy. Which is ultimately what was done in the end. The surviving Forerunners, realizing that they had failed the Mantle, left the galaxy, and placed humanity as their heirs to the Mantle.

Okay, I understand that, but I still feel like I'm not getting the full picture of the forerunners. Also, could you tell me about the Team of Spartans? [spoiler]also why everyone likes MC[/spoiler]
-
Can you elaborate on what you want to know about the Forerunners that I'm not telling you?
-
Idk, it might just be me. It just feels like I don't have a face for the name. What is the history with Master Chiefs team?
-
I can provide pictures of Forerunner civilization if you want.
-
That's okay, I beat us to it. Already looked up some stuff on the wikia. Halo lore is [i][b]very[/b][/i] interesting. Could you tell me more about John-117 and his team?
-
You mean Blue Team?
-
Yeah sure I guess

I was working on a post regarding Blue Team for Imgur. It's not done yet, but you can read it here: [url]http://imgur.com/a/sJONy[/url]

Sweet, now reading this I have two last question. Who is agent Locke, and what makes him so important in the Halo 5 trailer. And Who/what are the Promethians?

[quote]Sweet, now reading this I have two last question. Who is agent Locke, and what makes him so important in the Halo 5 trailer. And Who/what are the Promethians?[/quote]Agent Locke is an ONI agent who specializes in target tracking and capturing/eliminating. His latest mission is to track down the Master Chief. Whether it's to capture or kill, we don't know yet, but the trailer gives us a pretty good indication. The Prometheans are an elite sect of the Forerunner Warrior-Servants. Towards the end of the Forerunner-Flood War, the Prometheans agreed to be composed by the Didact in order to combat the Flood without the threat of biological infection. While effective, it wasn't enough, which lead the Didact to conscript the majority of humanity into his Promethean ranks
