Who do you think would win in a war between halo forerunners and stargate ancients, I'd say the forerunners but it's good to hear other oppinions.

Was anymore of their story told in Halo 3?

But the only ships we know the forerunners to posses is the ship Truth runs about in, and we havn't seen it in combat. That makes it harder to comparesigpic

Also in Halo 3 it takes several MAC shots (5-7 i think) and it didn't take any damage at all.sigpic

Which is why I think the forerunners would have to use the halo rings. Zap, exploded brain, we win. harharhardy har

The two races would be pretty evenly matched, so it may come down to each races tactics.
If one vessel is all the Forerunners had, against a whole mess of Auroras and a couple of fully powered City Ships then I think the Ancients would win.
It may come down to who gets to activate their galactic wide WMDs, but the Forerunners would have the edge as the Ancient Genesis device will only effect planets that have Stargates, wheres the Forerunner's Halos can wipe an entire galaxy clear.
Using the WMDs would for the most part mean the total annihilation of each species, unless the Stargates were able to cover every area the Forerunners occupied.
Do we know if the Forerunners were good tacticians?
Not being able to fight off the flood, or find a medical cure for the infection and giving in by using Halo may show them to be bad in this respect, where as the Ancients fought the Wraith, an intelligent, resourceful foe, with living technology for a hundred years and if there was only a handful of Wraith, perhaps a couple of Queens left over, who knew how to grow ships and clone they can survive.
The Ancients only downfall against the Wraith was their lack of numbers and inability to locate all threats.
I guess the two scenarios are fairly similar.
I can't decide really.
