I already posted this in a different thread a day or two back, but it didn't get any replies.
When the Forerunners 'visited' the place, planet or group of plantes (you get the idea) they gave them technology, if the Covenant would honor them as their Gods. The same was proposed to the race living amongst or nearby the Covenant, but they refused to worship the Forerunners.
So the Forerunners created the Flood to wipe out that particular race (I don't know their name), the problem was, the Flood not only attacked them, but they attacked the Covenant as well.
The Forerunners decided that the Flood had to be contained and thus created the Halo's. They were meant to be destroyed in the first place, but seen as they couldn't cause any harm they were left alone deep inside the Halo's.
Apparently, the humans resemble the unnamed species (the one's the Flood set out to destroy). The Covenant think we are the 'left overs' from that species, and that's why they want to destroy us.
So, what do you people think, it might not completely fit in with the story told by the books though.. anyway, your thoughts?
