Guys, do your research. Requiem is a shield world. The artificial beings are keepers of the planet, similar to the drones on Halo but more complex. So actually very similar to Mass Effect. However, the Forerunners are extinct as a race, & these beings are in no way Forerunners. Also, a question. In the E3 demo, when Master Chief is attracted by a group of Covenant in the beginning. Why do they attack him, I thought the human-covenant war had ended? Thanks.
