Just to clear things up:
* The ringworld installations were build to study and contain the flood, not to kill them.
* The Forerunners built the installations.
* The Reclaimer is the person that is to come back and take back the installation. On taking it back, if The Flood have escaped, then he must activate Halo's defenses.
* 343GS says all that stuff because MC is the only one looks the like he knows what he is doing, therefore thinks he is a Forerunner Reclaimer. It could also be that MC bears some resemblance to what Forerunners look like, or MC looks like the made up reclaimer in 343GS scenario recreations (practices) of firing Halo's defenses.
