A. Did the forerunners create the flood with a purpose in mind or were they a mistake?

B. Are the flood guardians of the halo weapon or are they prisoners?

C. Were the flood released (halo 1) because halo was activated or because of covenant tampering trying to discover halo's secrets?

D. Are there flood on every halo ring?

E. If so, aren't there halo constructs that are weapons and some defensive or shield halos? Why protect flood?

any other info would be appreciated, I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly.

Okay, I'm gonna try to answer these with my opinions...
A) I think so, they were probably trying to build the perfect life form, and I guess they kindof succeded.
B) I'm pretty sure they're prisoners, as the Forerunners had to wipe themselves out just so the Flood couldn't escape.
C) The Covanent were just being regulare idiots.
D) Probably, as evidence shown in Alpha and Delta Halo
E) No.. Halo's are strictly for destroying all Sentient Life in the galaxy acceptable to sustain Flood Life.

As for the other information, catch up on some reading at:

There are plenty more places to look, you just gotta find em.

Mistake

B. Are the flood guardians of the halo weapon or are they prisoners?
Prisoners

C. Were the flood released (halo 1) because halo was activated or because of covenant tampering trying to discover halo's secrets?
because of the covenant.

D. Are there flood on every halo ring?
yes.

E. If so, aren't there halo constructs that are weapons and some defensive or shield halos? Why protect flood?
Wtf. THey are all weapons, A halo is activated, killing EVERYTHING within the radius in the galaxy. it sends a signal to all other halos to do the same, and thism the whole galaxy is destroyed. Because the flood uses people and life forms as food, it kills ever lifeform, thus starving the flood to death.

A. Did the forerunners create the flood with a purpose in mind or were they a mistake?
Neither, the Forerunners contained small colonies for study.

B. Are the flood guardians of the halo weapon or are they prisoners?
They were study and test subjects contained in suspended animation until the Covenant released them.

C. Were the flood released (halo 1) because halo was activated or because of covenant tampering trying to discover halo's secrets?
The Covenant were retards and released them.

D. Are there flood on every halo ring?
Yes.

E. If so, aren't there halo constructs that are weapons and some defensive or shield halos? Why protect flood?
ALL Halos wipe out all SENTIENT lifeforms of sufficient biomass to sustain The Flood.

I believe you're thinking of Shield and Sword Worlds.
