I'm aware it was 343 industries take on it and I never said the Forerunners were human. "The war was instigated by the High Prophets of the Covenant following a discovery which led them to believe that humans were directly related to the Forerunners, contradicting their ancient religion." https://www.halopedia.org/Human-Covenant_War Literally what I said. The High Prophets believed that humanity was related to the Forerunners, not that they were. I literally owned every Halo game at one point and have a Halo encyclopedia dude.
