There are numerous questions everybody has about "HALO" and it's meanings, characters, and so on. But I have one specifically about the "FLOOD" and "HALO". It is said that these "FORERUNNERS" got all these "FLOOD" and put them on HALO to research and so on, but if Humans and Covenant alone can't control these...things then how did the "FORERUNNERS" get them there? Were they tame at one time? Then went crazy after being locked up so long? Can the "FORERUNNERS" control the "FLOOD" and the "FLOOD" listens?.....

maybe they can control the flood. It doesn't really say in the game, but..maybe.

Obviously the forerunners did not have very good control over the flood or they would not of invented a weapon capable of destroying their food within 1000s of light years. I'd like to think of it that they just captured the flood but never had control.

what I wonder is why the forerunners just didn't wipe out the flood.

according to the Oracle, the Forerunners at one time activated the rings inorder to kill the flood. The Forerunners and all sentient life within range died, as planned. Why the flood is still around after that...who knows...who cares. Lets just keep killing them and all the other things that show up red on our reticle and forget about the damn forerunners. If they were still around, I'd kill them them too.

halo does not kill the flood, only its hosts.
halo's range is: 3 radia (i don't know how to spell that) of the galactic center

The Forerunners and the Flood reached an agreement that the forerunners would make the ring planets for the flood to live on, and the flood would stop killing the Forerunners. The only creature that controls the Flood is the Gravemind, not the Forerunners.

What are you, the oracle! They didnt build the ring to KILL the flood. only to CONTAIN and erase all of the host bodies with halos main weapon. READ THE BOOKS!

I THINK, not sure though, forerunner have trouble w/ flood, forerunner build big weapon to destroy flood food, forerunner bring flood to big weapon to research, flood gets outta control and forerunner kill themselves + flood, covenant find halo, do sumthing to realease flood, flood reproduces killing both unsuspected humans and covnent, you can kill everything again and flood will die, or you can destroy one ov 7 flood homes, you follow cortana's idea------end of halo 1. Halo 2, another ring is found, flood is out--- oh no!!, arbiter fal down hole, MC fall down, Guilty spark, fall down, prophet drops down to say hi... you and arbiter become friends, you try to stop prohpet from reaching earth, arbiter stops ring from killing everything, you go home to stop cov, cortana is stuck on halo w/ gravemind, she's bored so she answer's his questions to spread the flood or so they say. I think.

Except the infection forms. I wonder how they came to exist. Maybe genetic mutation. Anyone play the first or second mission with the arbiter and see a glass thing with black floaties in it. I think those were like baby infection forms.

If they make a Halo 3 you should be able to play as a Flood, that would be sooooooo cool

I think that there were 7 forerunners, and each one of them built a halo. if the forerunners were covenent, then they either created the infection forms which then created the combat and carier forms through evolution or the covenent, humans, and flood were just always there and the forerunners just built a home so the flood wouldnt destroy covenent. but then forerunner of halo #4 (the halo in the first game) built 343 guilty spark to maintain the halo while he was gone/died. if the forerunners were highly intelectual flood, then they probably just built all 7 halos as a suitable home for infection forms. then the covenent found the halos and the flood and built a mechanism that worked with the halos to destroy everything in the galaxy except robots, which is what 343 guilty spark wanted.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

1-3 carbine hits to the head = flood dead. even on harder game modes.

the forerunners activated the Halos and destroyed themselves because the flood got out of hand.

i am remember rightly, the forerunners arent exactly covenant, either the covie are desendants, or the covie found an artifact, by accident, and went towards the great journey from there.
