: as to what I was saying. It seems to me like both the Precursors and
: Forerunner failed miserably in upholding the mantle, and they were EONS

: in our current state in the halo universe, the mantle seems like way too

I think that's part of what's going to make the Reclaimer saga interesting. :) There's more at stake, basically, if we're going to get the Mantle regardless. Humanity has some growing up to do, and if 343 follows through on that, I think it'll make for an interesting arc.
