Ok, so when we first see the flood, they're in the facility place, behind locked doors.

the forunner built the place to contain the flood, ok, fair enough.
Next then there is a facility ---that was to perserve and look after them to make sure the flood survived--- and it was placed on the ring.

Maybe the forunner was power hungry, so he/she/it made the flood, so then he/she/it had an excuse to kill everything in the universe to starve the flood to death...........
with no one to stop him/her/thingy taking over the universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what do you think?????????????????????????

No. The Forerunner killed THEMSELVES (there's more than one) to stop the Flood. What you're saying is they commited an elaborate form of suicide.

The Forerunners probably just met the Flood somewhere and war ensued. I wouldn't be surprised that the Forerunner were defeated, after all they were facing their own technology and perhaps even some alien tech that the Flood had already assimilated.

what was the point in commiting suicide??????

couldn't they just go in a star-ship because it says in the book that u get when u buy the actuall game.....' Faster than light travel is now a reality'

Hahaha I laugh at the flood! but seriously I mean anyone know that if the flood was real they would dead in an instant, they are both stupid and well stupid... And I guess they can travel through space somehow but I haven't really seen any "flood" technology though.
oh well lets just and see what Halo 3 will explain.

It's simple. Remember in Halo 1? They were repairing the Pillar of Autumn and the Covies were afraid the Flood was going to escape on their cruiser. They can use starships, and ground vehicles in Halo 2.

This goes in the Library, where you can discuss anything and everything from Halo 1 on xbox.

maybe the forerunners created the flood as a weapon to use against their enemies but the flood got out of control and killed the forerunners so the flood ended up being stranded on the halos. then when the PoA crashed on the halo the flood tried their hardest to capture the PoA so they could spread and feed off of other planets as a way of surviving

Wrong. In the book The Art of Halo it is clearly stated that the Forerunner "met" the flood.
