That is a possibility. Or the forerunners simply needed to breathe the same gasses as we do.

What about the gravity, almost all planets are different.

Gravity is probably from the rotation of Halo and/or the gravitational pull of Threshold.

Wouldn't you think there would be a certain level of gravity needed to sustain life?

Apparently, some people do. If you don't, don't post. It's that simple.

Little is known about the forerunners, all we know is that the covenant treat them like gods, and they have left loads of artifacts behind, such as the Halo rings and strange crystals etc.

It really would help to read the books to allow you to get a full understanding of the posts in this forum and the game.

The Forerunner are shrouded in mystery. Although their cyclopean architecture still remains, they have long been absent from their own creations. What little we know of them is explained vicariously through their machinery and their automatons. Clearly, they were technologically superior to both Humanity and the Covenant. Their empire spanned at least this galaxy, encompassing both Einsteinian reality and Slipspace.

At one point in the Forerunner's history, they encountered the Flood. For whatever reason, they felt it was necessary to contain and study the Flood, in colossal facilities capable of omitting sentient life from the entire galaxy, rather than destroy them outright. Their allowance of the Flood's perpetuation could be considered an inexcusable lack of foresight for such an advanced civilization, though without knowing their precise reasoning, the passing of judgement is problematic.

The Forerunner had abandoned this Halo, Installation 04, some time ago, leaving their robotic compatriots behind to defend and monitor the installation. Seeing the Master Chief and Cortana breach protocol and refuse to activate Halo upon the Flood's release, 343 Guilty Spark turns Halo's only known internal defensive system on them: the Sentinels. The Sentinels are floating Mantis-like machines, using what is presumably Forerunner weapon and shield technology. Unlike the the Human and Covenant arsenal, the Sentinels used some sort of controlled stream of energy. Deadly and precise, they appear to be more like surgical cutting tools than offensive weaponry, and while effective against the Flood's lower forms, are easily overcome by the Warrior class.

Their relics are not restricted to Halo 04. The Aztec-esque stones of C'ort Azur, the arches and weathered inscriptions of Sigma Octanus, the intricate caverns and 3km holographic dome beneath ONI's Reach complex, the ancient stepping-stones of the Grunt's homeworld, and the Prophet's own claim to have evolved on an abandoned Forerunner planet, not to mention the countless installations undoubtedly pilfered to allow the Covenant to have achieved their current levels of technology, all give testament to this galaxy's permeation.

But who were these Forerunner; these Truth-givers? What relationship do the ever reverent Covenant have to them; does persecuted Humanity have to them? The Covenant, garbed in their glyphs, pay an eery homage to those symbols depicted in the interiors of Halo's buildings, whereas Humankind seems all too at home, and recognized. But what of 343 Guilty Spark's comments of their lost history? Have they been destroyed, taken leave, or are they now "in chains"? Much remains to be answered.

Taken from here.

I'll tell you why Halo had Earths Gravity. BECAUSE it would be -blam!- in every level to be in 0 gravity! (also because Bungie wanted it that way) ... (sigh... I pity you...)
