Re: The Forerunners shouldn't have lost the war.
Posted By: Honestly <Hadjorim@yahoo.com>Date: 5/3/08 8:12 p.m.

In Response To: Re: The Forerunners shouldn't have lost the war. (GatchamanUK)


: How long was it before the sentinels were developed? They are such a
: specialised weapon against the flood they couldn't have been there before
: the infection.The forerunners would need to have studied the flood (at
: least in battle) to find out their weaknesses.

According to Halopedia:

"Sentinels have been known to have been created long before Installation 04 was ever conceived. They operated automated facilities such as Gas Mines like the one found on Threshold for "untold centuries" before the facility was redesigned to research the Flood. Therefore it is possible that they were only outfitted for combat after the Flood was discovered."

: Anyway, in one of the terminals it says how the Forerunner had been at peace
: for so long they didn't need any weapons, and the life they were
: protecting didn't develop any weapons either, so they were defenceless for
: the first couple of years, when the flood could get a strong foothold.

Still, the war lasted 300 years. At least 100 years in they could have gotten their act together and started mass-producing sentinels.
