Editing Talk:Forerunner symbols

[[Image:Symbol 1.GIF|thumb|The non-glowing cyan symbol, is found on the back of the higher-rank Elites.]]


==Elites left arm==

There are three forerunners symbols on an Elites both arms and six more covenant symbols on it's back. If someone could ad those to the list, that would be great.

==Derelict==

Also, I'd like to take this time to point out one mystery that, as of yet, has been completely overlooked, as far as I've seen, [[Derelict]]. I remind you that the Halo is not the only Forerunner installation we set foot on, in Halo. The Halo itself, but also Derelict, the net level. It's quite intriguing. It's a small station, floating in space, with no Halo in sight. Though it appears to be at the lagrange (sp?) point between a large planet and a moon, just like Halo, and there is a sun directly above the station. Also of note is how the level seems almost a hybrid of Covenant lighting and Forerunner design, textures, etc. Let discussion ensue. -- [[User:Forerunner]]

::You know Forerunner, after doing some extensive research on my HD-graphics modded Halo PC, I have to agree about he symbols. They look very Covenant, but using the Forerunner symbols list, they mainly resemble the Forerunner language. And if I were to guess location, I'd say the area we last saw Chief.--[[User: Modern day Vercetti|The Vercetti]] 01:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

==GoO==
Did not Doctor Hasley state that forerunner symbols possessed "other" dimensions?
:How would i know i don't have any of the books
::Yes, though I think she meant as in 3D symbols.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''' 14:04, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

== Undefined Symbol ==

Just because it means Shield World doesn't mean it can only be on Shield Worlds. It's part of there language you don't think they would have said anything about it on other installations? It's like a directory in a mall or something they have a symbol for bathroom. Does the fact that the symbol is used on the directory mean that the actual symbols on the doors of bathrooms don't actually mean bathroom? I think not.{{Unsigned|96.42.85.109}}

:Yeah, but it's uncormirmed. While it is in the cover of GoO, it might just be another generic Forerunner symbol. It stays undefined unless we get a confirmation.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 06:15, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

== Same symbol? ==

Hasn't anybody else noticed that the installation 6 symbol and that the first symbol on the page are exactly the same?

== Proper name for ODST Glyphs ==

I am thinking of writing a little about the Glyphs showed in ODST. I'm just not sure what would be the best, proper name for them.

Unless you have any problems with '''Y-glyph''', I would prefer using it. Name comes from the shape, obliviously, and it has alredy gained some little popularity in Bnet.

So, you cool with this?

:I'd prefer to call them Huragok Glyphs, seeing they're the only ones who use them. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 19:46, January 28, 2010
: That crossed my mind, too. Great, I think I'll use it, then.

== An interesting discovery ==

i don't know when Microsoft first started using this as their logo for Office Outlook, but it looks suspiciously familiar{{Unsigned|VanFlyhight}}

u don't see it? i found this on accident. and whats that supposed to mean anyway? [[User talk:VanFlyhight|Van Dominic Flyhight]] 20:59, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

== Common Symbol ==

[[File:Fr universal symbol.png|thumb|right]]
I've composed a list of this symbol's appearances in Halo CE multiplayer.
*[[Hang 'Em High]]
*[[Derelict]]
*[[Infinity]]

Not too many, but I would think that it means: Forerunner, and the Forerunner use it as some kind of 'stamp' that they put onto installations that they've created. I would believe that minor outposts (Bllod Gultch, Avalanch, ect) wouldn't have these, for reasons I can't think of.

Halo 2!
*[[Ascension]]
*[[Containment]]
*[[Relic]]

Again, small numbers. It is found on switches in Relic and Containment. My theory about it not being in small outposts is consistant here.

==Rename?==
Shouldn't this be renamed to "Forerunner glyphs"? The characters in the books seem to refer to these symbols as glyphs most of the time.--'''''[[Help:User Levels|<span style="color:green">Commander</span>]]''''' [[User:Halofan1234|<span style="color:cyan">光环的家伙1234</span>]] '''''[[User talk:Halofan1234|<span style="color:purple">Talk</span>]]''''' ''([[Special:Contributions/Halofan1234|<span style="color:gold">Contribs</span>]])'' '''([[Special:Editcount/Halofan1234|<span style"color:cyan">Edits</span>]])''' 19:09, 19 November 2011 (EST)

== More Symbols? ==

What about the glyphs we see at the end of each Terminal in Combat Evolved Anniversary? The same ones used in Halo Waypoint's Terminal unlocker. They were also featured in Halo Wars. The fact that these symbols have appeared on Forerunner technology and are seen at the end of 343i's terminal logs, it is evident that they are forerunner in origin. These glyphs should be added here.--[[User talk:Xzan Tamasee|Xzan Tamasee]] 01:17, 18 December 2011 (EST)

==Has anybody noticed...?==

Has anybody ever noticed how the [[:File:Frglyphs 1.jpg|Forerunner glyphs and symbols]] looks almost identical to Ancient Lantian script from the ''Stargate'' universe? I thought it was very interesting, seeing as I've been watching ''Stargate SG-1'' and ''Stargate Atlantis'' for awhile now. It does look suspiciously familiar. I can't help but wonder, could this be a possible nod to ''Stargate''? --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 11:23, 22 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

==Forerunner written language==
[[File:Halo-ForerunnerLanguage.jpg|right|200px|thumb|No idea where to put this...]]

I have no idea where to put this [[:File:Halo-ForerunnerLanguage.jpg|particular image]] of the Forerunner written language, but since it is considered to be canon, and therefore important, it should be put somewhere in the article. I mean, I can start a new subsection, but there lies the problem: While I know what image to start it off, I have no idea what to write about it. I suppose one could make mention of some of the Forerunner dialects, but of the written language, still drawing a blank. Some help would be much appreciated. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 15:50, 12 October 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
