so, apparently, the forerunner-precursor war was fought as a result of the precursors wanting to pass the mantle on to humanity

but this was ten million years ago, a whole six million years before even australopithecus evolved

im guessing the precursors had some fancy space-magic way of knowing that eventually those lemur looking things that were around back then were gonna become humans?

343i Halo story is basically fan fiction tier. Don't give it too much thought and just go with the flow.

Oh yeah, this one triggers LC highly. It's bloody hilarious.

The Arbiter fighting along side the Master Chief isn't any less "fan fiction tier" and the Flood being an ally in a level seems like it's straight up fan fiction.

The Flood was shown it could be reasoned with and would align with others in pursuit of a common goal in Halo 2 with the gravemind. The Elites allying with the humans was a natural result of being thrown out of the covenant. Especially since the younger generations already had respect for humanity and were questioning why the prophets weren't trying to get them to join the covenant.

When 343i took over Halo became less science fiction and more science fantasy. Also the utterly ridiculous precursor plot doesn't give me any faith in their story telling abilities. However like I said, don't give Halo's story to much thought and just go with the flow.

I'm really only interested in the Halo 5 campaign for the gameplay and the set pieces since I know that anything forerunner related with the story is going to be laughable.

Halo story has always been fan fiction tier

I wouldn't assume a game involving shooting giant aliens with plasma rifles would coincide too heavily with reality, let alone the precise moment when humans evolved. Unless the franchise has taken measures to be historically accurate in the past.

ive noticed that halo nation omits a whole lot of lore established in silentium whereas halopedia abides by it

according to halopedia, humans were not only around but had achieved spaceflight one million years ago; halo nation says nothing of the sort

Halopedia is the more accurate one
