The forerunner's were losing a war against the flood
I think the forerunners built the halos then activated them to wipe out the flood, in the process wiping themselves out, (suicide to save the universe)
thats why the remaining forerunner technology is AI and programed to wipe out an outbreak of the flood

in case the flood break out and a new race can use them to wipe out the flood without knowing they will wipe themselves out
the forerunners could have a self sacrificing moral code (THE UNIVERSE BEFORE OURSELVES) thats why they think other races would do the same as they did

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


I have a question if u are on halo and set the weapon off will u die or is it a safe spot? And does Halo only wipe out Life or everything like the Planets and rocks and stuff in space? How the hell can the Flood like get off Halo? If there us no Humans or anything around with flying things or does the Flood make thing to fly in space?!

halo doesn't wipe out any thing on the halo or the flood wouldn't have survived on the halo that master chief went to
halo's only wipe out bio matter capabil of supporting the flood so new races can evole over millions of years

I think that the Halos are more like a gun. If you shoot a gun, does the gun explode? NO. That is why Halo is still there.

good point frag master, if the flood ever got out the 'new races' would need the halos to wipe the flood out

the new races wouldn't know they are commiting suicide, master chief didn't know how the halo wiped out the flood and the covie didn't know the weapon would wipe themselves out

I think you are all missing out on the important questions:

What is the Library?
What is the Index?
Where the Halos really created solely to combat the flood?
Why is he called a "Reclaimer", beyond the obvious?
Why is it that there's a special link between the Forerunners and the Covenant?
Why have the Prophets decreed that the Foreunneres wanted humanity destroyed?

Find your questions, then find your theories

i think its a nice theory,but i think the forerunners are still alive ssomewhere in the unvirse cause they didnt just create 1 halo they made two that we know of they could had even made more around in other galaxis..but now my question is are the forerunners bad like the convie or are they good ????

good point but then cortana says that it isnt a convetional weapon and if something can destroy a galaxy it would have to be pretty tough to survive, but as we saw thw PoA destroyed it (yay i made a sensible counter aruement using fact :))

Where did you read that the Covie are cousins to the forerunners?
Conjecture does not support hypotheses.
I strongly believe that Humanity and the Forerunner are one and the same.

I have my own theory and it involves some of the answers to the questions I posted.

Answer those questions for yourselves.

interesting stuff. If I recall correctly here's a couple more puzzle pieces.

-Spark clearly says "this installation was designed to study the flood" and that the flood are capable of repairing ships ( i think)
-When Cortana stops MC from activating Halo Spark says something like "last time you asked me what I would do if the decision was mine. Having had considerable time to ponder your question my answer has not changed." -When was the LAST TIME they were to activate Halo and why does Spark think it was MC would asked him that question?

-Do we actually find out anywhere that the Halo has been fired before? I don't remember anything actually saying that that happened.
-I don't think the Halo would be a "safe spot". Spark says that once the other installationS go off "this galaxy will be quite devoid of life"
-If the Halo was used and there was no safespot then the flood would have starved out on halo
-If there is a safe spot and the Halo was used then there had to be food left on Halo (for the flood to survive) so why didn't we ever find them?
-In the book series there are some wierd time travel/time warping effects going on because of a forerunner artefact (All of book 2 takes place before it began...at the end of book 1-wierd) Are we gonna see some wierd time travel thing going on? -I kinda hope not.

Okay... perhaps I should point out something... the definition of the Library, the Bungie definition pulled right off of the Library Forum's Title:

1.) A repository of information
2.) A collection of cloned DNA sequences whose location and identity can be established by mapping the genome of a particular organism
