Re: How disappointing
Posted By: Flynn J TaggartDate: 11/22/11 2:32 a.m.

In Response To: How disappointing (sithhead)


: I figured it was some sort of Forerunner alphabet/language. To see that it
: may be a simple substitution of characters into to the english alphabet is
: so anticlimactic when thinking of the potential for something like this.

: "Look at these symbols! It's like an alien alphabet that we'll see more
: of in later halo lore until we piece together meaning years from
: now!" -- "Nah, that thing is an A, and that's a T. These are
: normal letters and numbers, you just have to know which is which."
: How boring.

Well to be fair, if Forerunners made their tech accessible to humans, it makes some sense that they'd leave behind an easily decode-able (to humans) language or instructions. That said it ain't rocket science but they probably weren't aiming high with it either...
