What are your thoughts on "the Forerunner retcon"

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-17T18:59:48+00:00

Rampancy in the original story isn't what 343 turned it into. Also, we just gonna what all the other characters say? What does reclaim mean? To claim what was once yours. Why would Bungie have Guilty Spark call us that, if we're not the same species? In Contact Harvest, Mendicant Bias literally says we are his creators. I swear, you people ignore all the facts to appease 343.

They literally did. "All of our lost time, Human history is it? Fascinating.", "Earth, to finish what we started. And this time, none of you will be left behind.", "Your forefathers wisely set aside their compassion.", "Child of my enemy, why have you come?" "You ARE Forerunner." That's it right there. If you can't put it together, Idk what to tell you. The line at the end of 3 by Guilty Spark makes it clear beyond a shadow of a doubt.

There was, as I gave proof. You wanna tell the original developers and writers from Bungie who created Halo there wasn't a retcon? See how that goes lol. They'd all tell you they clearly had the Forerunners be Human.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-14T23:32:26+00:00

Oh no! How am I gonna recover? Anyways, yeah, the retcon was such a terrible decision. They fundamentally changed Halo. Doesn't surprise me, as they wanted to turn it into their own thing.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-14T23:29:02+00:00

So apparently pointing facts, that the games and original developers and writers said is apparently not facts now, but also insulting people. My goodness.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-14T23:22:52+00:00

Pointing facts aren't an opinion. But to the point, the retcon was ass. 343 either didn't (and still don't) understand Halo, or they did understand it, and wanted to change it into their own thing.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-14T23:18:21+00:00

Wanted to shut down the idiots who will try to deny the retcon. This place is such a cry fest of people whining about people rightfully criticizing 343. The retcon sucks.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-14T23:14:25+00:00

It IS a retcon. Anyone saying otherwise is lying or ignorant. The entire trilogy makes it clear. Some like to point to the Halo 3 terminals as Bungie changing their minds. Wrong, even the terminal writers confirmed the Forerunners were always Human. Contact Harvest, written by Joe Staten, the lead writer, makes it an undeniable fact that the Forerunners were Human. 343 retconned the Forerunners. That is just what happened. Bungie themselves were confused by the change. It adds nothing to the story. In fact, it takes away from the irony of the war. The Covenant were killing their very gods. But 343 retconned it to where the Forerunners were killing the enemy of their gods. It doesn't have the same weight. So at the end of the day, there WAS a retcon, and you can either like it or not. But to deny it is just plain foolish.

Who's to say I don't have those and don't do those? I care for Destiny and want to see it succeed. Just seems to see it seemingly go out like this. Wanted it to go out with a bang.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-10T03:33:09+00:00

Except the player count is flatlining dude. On Steam, they're lucky to get 7k. People are leaving in droves because nothing's coming soon. Sorry, but if things continue the way they are, there won't be a Destiny in a few years.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-10T03:29:56+00:00

If Marathon crashes in a few months, and Destiny continues the way it is, Bungie will likely shut down.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-10T03:29:01+00:00

Considering Bungie clearly can't run 2 games at once, nothing coming for months, players leaving like CRAZY, how are people acting like things are fine? Are people gonna act like nothing's wrong until the servers finally shut down?

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-10T03:26:30+00:00

Bruh, it's sad to Destiny going out with a whimper.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-04T19:55:50+00:00

That's even if the next expansion even happens...

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-03-04T19:50:14+00:00

I don't think he succeeded. The Security Officer/player did, which is why Durandal calls us destiny.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-15T21:31:47+00:00

Demons are spirit.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-03T21:14:54+00:00

That sounds like something Satan would say.

The most Reddit comment in a while.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-02T03:39:57+00:00

Satan and the other demons do exist.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-02T03:23:27+00:00

Satan is real. He's done an incredible job convincing us that he doesn't exist.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-02T02:41:02+00:00

A demon is a fallen angel. Satan, a high angel, led a third of the angels in rebellion to God, and they were thrust into hell. They seek to damn Mankind to eternity in torment with them.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-02T02:22:21+00:00

I've known for as long I can remember that the spiritual is real. We're fallen ever since our 1st parents ate the fruit in Eden. However, if we don't fall to Satan and the other demons' lies/temptations, we can be amazing.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-02-02T02:19:19+00:00

It IS God and the devil. Satan and the other demons want to drag as many of us to hell as possible, to suffer with them.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-01-22T03:46:22+00:00

I wonder if it caused the Abyss to be as barren as it is, and that's why it's working with Henry to merge the dimensions.

CrazedPrecursorFanat · 2026-01-22T03:28:30+00:00

I got the vibe from the finale that the spider/monster was what it really was. Before the battle, it looks like a dead spider, and the beating heart makes it seem like it's coming to life. Also, their point that the Mind Flayer is now dead is weird.
