I have a theory about the flood that may have been thought of before so don’t flame me if it has been and if I have taken your idea and not known that I have I am also sorry (Great minds think alike)

I believe that the flood are none other than the forerunners. The runners may have been trying to strengthen them selves, find a way to be immortal. So they began to davel with genetics to make them selves stronger and even reproduce faster ect. Of course from this point on all runners would have a bit of genetic manipulation but not to the extent of the flood. To preserve there original DNA they placed untouched runners on earth so if they were to ever go to far they would be able to start over in the future. Now the flood stupid yet powerful, fast reproducers, and almost unstoppable could be let loose on an enemy destroying an entire planet. Maybe they were used just for that? What would they do if these creatures after being dropped on a planet evolved to be smart and powerful? They needed a way to preserve there race so they built Halo(s) to study and find ways to kill them. Also they could be used in the event they do evolve and are able to build it would be a perfect defense if halo was fired then it would destroy all life in that area. That means the runner were all over the galaxy so a 255 light year area (I think?) would only be a scratch to there whole empire. Now for GS 343 helps my idea. Can GS see out of that blue thing? I believe it cannot it can only sense electrical currents I think… So it may have mistaken MC as the reclaimed because he had a small amount of genetic manipulation, as all Spartan 2’s have and in my theory all runners had a small amount also.

So that’s about it, im prolly wrong but you know PM me or leave your thoughts here.

Maybe cause the genetically manipulated there form many times? I mean if you put a carrot in a blender it is going to look allot different.

I dont think so, unless the for runners were those little spores that die in one shot, and I dont think those could build the halo network.
Also the flood MIGHT have been used for regenerative or as a weapon or something.
It just wouldnt make an sense....

I read it and.... just no. Why would flood build Halo's to kill themselves? Halo was meant to destroy all life in the galaxy with sufficient bio-acid to sustain the flood, so they could starve them to death. So why in the world would they kill their own species? Besides, I've heard rumours that the humans are the forerunners.

But Halo blows up trashing any chance of the preserved flood living.

They weren't on the ring. The rumour is that humans create halo's in the future and send them back to the past to avoid the flood disaster happening in their time.

i have and that is a very good theory why they would look like why they do but on the other hand the forruners built halo halo was called the fortress world for if the flood escaped it would be actived to keep the flood from reprodeing and getting off the ring which i will reapeat in saying the ring was built to destroy the floods food if you remeber from 2 betrayels level when cortana tells the cheif the truth why the for runners built halo so the forrunners cant be flood becuase then halo would destroy their food humans covenant and what ever can (countain the bio mass of the flood )qouted 343 guilty spark. so in theory no becuase then the forunners would just wipe them selves out by making a weapon to destroy all that they could consume thus killing them off by starving them to death

i think that thats an excelent theory apart from 343 thinking MC a forerunner. I agree but if you read the Flood then it says that MC found a marines body and that 343 said "ah yes the other reclaimer he was most uncucsesful" and i dont think marines had genetic manipulation, unless he a pacemaker or somethin? Actually coming to that Reclaimer? do u think that the foruners made genetically even more enhanced soldiers of themselves to 'reclaim' the halo stations and such. Hmm, well anyway i totally agree with the rest of your theory

read this theory ok the forunners will apear in halo 2 remeber why the covenat are wiping out humanity becuase their prophets made a statement that humanity was upsetting the gods and they would then not provide the covenant what they need and anything on the lines of that halo was built to whipe out the flood andalso to contian the flood in the librarey to allow them to live in and fo the forunners to conduct exspirements on the flood the flood was origanalley just spores then the covenat came along that with the marines and they became in fected you can actually see with a good television im talkin hdtv with a pistol in the librarey level you will have to search to the extreme like i did a panthlete explaining about: the flood, the reason for building halo, why the forunners built, it expirements conducted by the forunners scientists, the forruners scientists them selves ect., this i have found and believe me it took for ever to find it i wish i knew how to post its picture an location on this topic forun but i don't know how to do that but i have found it its a bunch of small documents scatered around in the libriarey level that all i can tell you i made a map of its location but since you dont give a damn about it unless you read this then tell me ill give you it maybe

So then how did humans survive?


I was reading some stuff on HBO a little while ago, and I came across this:

"Anywho to make a long story short, I started drawing spheres when I noticed something. Draw 3 circles with the same radius so that each is touching the other and you get a weird little triangle in the middle."

If those three circles were the maximum ranges of the Halos' weapons, then that little triangle thingy wouldn't be harmed. What if, for some reason or another, Earth was inside that triangle? Humans would survive the destruction. Why the Forerunner would want that I don't know.
