Talk:Forerunner symbols: Difference between revisions

:::I'm not saying it has to be one of the dialects Bear established. I was just making a point that there is absolutely no contradiction here, especially since distinct types of writing would fit very well even with the recently fleshed-out Forerunner fiction. Sure, the script seen in Sandtrap can be treated as secondary to the one created for ''Halo 4'', but unless 343i outright comes out and says it isn't canon or that the Forerunners only had one type of writing system, ''ever'', over many millions of years, I don't see why the two can't coexist. You're probably right (emphasis on "probably" since we don't know for sure) in that Bungie didn't put that much thought into the script seen in the MP maps, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in the fiction. 343i's approach so far has been to try and include every piece they can, and even if they don't quite fit together, they come up with a more or less workable justification. In this case, the canon excuse would practically write itself since there is nothing inconsistent about a civilization having two different writing systems. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 10:02, 17 October 2013 (EDT)
