I was wondering: How does Halo "blow up" we know it doesn't kill planets but heres and idea.

(Keep reading this is relevant)
The woods next to my house are over run with skunk cabbage, and I mean the floor of the woods is unseable it is covered with them. Any way there is a system of small streams and rivers running threw the woods which are slowly drying up and being replaced with skunk cabbage. So eventually they will use up to much water and die. This is how i think halo works it distributes flood spores all over the 25,00,000 ly area. Gs says that Halo destroys all things with enough biomass to support the flood so after the flood kill every thing they die of starvation, basically killing the flood (them selves).

Tell me what you guys think..Please post a respons!

So if it's job is to stop them from spreading why does GS want to kill ALL life in the 25,000,00 ly area if the flood have not spread yet?

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

First off all, GS is an insane little nutball. Secondly, it does make sense to starve the Flood, but why should they kill everything in the firing range? Couldn't they just kill everything that was a possible food source on Halo? Unless the Flood had a way to get off the ring, then why kill everything? Of course, they went with the kill everything option because the Flood could have gotten off of Halo. Your theory does make a lot of sense.

I think Halo would emit an EMP wave type thing that instead of technology it targets life.

Yes that makes sense Sornos but my idea works just as easy, why does the flood kill al life that could let the flood live instead of letting the flood do the same thing letting humans and alieans alike find a way to stop them.

Ok, but when everyones dead, the bodies still remain, and the flood will eat them, I dont really like your theory...

So what happens after the flood eat every thing? They die. halo kills every thing, so do the flood

Actually the flood can lay dorment for tens of thousands of years, so you're theory of letting them starv wouldnt work. Not sure if that also covers the combat forms etc, but some form of the Flood survived on Halo for tens of thousands of years....as did Sparky, which is why he's nuts. Killing anything which the flood could use to spread in an area is like using backburning to kill a large fire, you destroy what its going to feed on so it can't grow.

Releasing the Flood is not garanteed, a ship could escape carying a flood spore and infect another galaxy, eventualy all life in the universe not the galaxy is destroyed. I think an EMP pulse would be neat clean and efficeint. BTW when I say EMP, i means like an EMP, silmilar effect just to organic material. And I know that EMP's are not dangerous, just typing this you are enveloped in an EM field. Electricity creates EM fields.

Good point but, they may have been frozen or suspended in time.

Well 343 says that once this halo is fired the rest should follow suite so they are supposed to kill all life in the galaxy.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

every1 thinks tht wen the ppl all die the flood eat them. but rly the reason it kills all life is so that the flood cant take other things alive they dont eat dead things only living things bc they eat the nutrients while the ppl are alive

Maybe when one Halo is fired, the rest are activated and fire as well. Maybe their activated by that Halo's monitor, or by some chain reaction system set up by the Fourrunner.

That brings up a good point, if the flood can live for thousands of years the starving theory would not work, meaning that Halo would be useless since elimating all life would theoriticaly starve the flood. That means that the floods must of been in stasis . If they were in stasis, why are they in stasis, woudn't it be logical to let the roam free on halo, so they may die of starvation. So...............Halo must of been occupied by the Forerunners to keep the flood in check, why else would they put them in stasis? That means the Forerunnes, must of been wiped out by some natural or unnatural force........ Another race may of made them extinct........

Why do we keep harmfull diseases frozen in labs all around the world knowing that if that bottle breaks every one could be endangerd? This is the same kind of thing.

Thats exactly what I mean! All those labs have people in it, to stop people from releasing those viruses! So as I said before, the Forerunners were probably guarding the Flood , but something happened!

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Well a prevailing theory is that... (let me just note this first). The rings kill anything with enough biomass to sustain the flood, so like plants and insects and birds, etc. Are not affected. Secondly, I beleive all that was found were the infection forms, since this was the first time Covies encountered them, I doubt that warrior forms in mutated Elite bodies were dorment from eons in there. So, I think only the infection forms can go dorment like that, the larger ones need food more then the rest. The Infection forms are paristies, so they are very resliant. And finally, the theory is that the Forerunner were destroyed by the Halo Rings. Meaning the Flood escaped, or attempted to break out, and the rings were activated killing them off. Would explain why it seems they just up and dissapeared. Oh and to comment on the person who said that the flood could just feed of the dead bodies, well we don't know if bodies would remain, perhaps they are molecuallarly broken down and destroyed. So there is nothing left, and if not... then they can feed of the dead bodies but for how long? Eventually they will run out, (meaning by the time they get to another planet like Earth), all of the bodies will have decompsed leaving nothing. Just my 2 cents.
