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."
It's wierd to explain and very lengthy. Several possible scearnios have been given, yet I have yet to see a reason why the Covenant are still around assuming they started off from scartch as we did after the Halos were used. Many believe the Forerunner did not create us, but that we ARE the Forerunner. Now, the explanations for why and how are explained thusly:

Alright, lets say that the Forerunners were Human, and like us Humans, they have a tendancy to destroy themselves by using the very things that are supposed to protect themselves.
So, the Flood escape, and all the Halo's are activated. All the Forerunners die, becasue that is what Halo's function is... kill all sentient life so the Flood can't feed.
How exacly is it that the current Humans are in existance if their ancestors, the Forerunners, were all killed by the activation of all the Halos?
And this highly asked question is answered here:

Ever watch those old sci-fi flicks? Or read old sci-fi books? Lots of times when Earth or Humans are in the threat of being eradicated a small group, (usually hand-picked) are selected to flee and set up shop somewhere far from the threat, in this case the Flood, and be the fail safe. Meaning if the Halos are activated the Forerunner will still exsist and still be alive. Now you ask how if it is designed to kill all life? Well if they build a weapon to destory all life is it not feasible to think that they can create a shield to that weapon? Here's my speculation, the group moved to Earth, had this shield or structure designed to keep them alive, though they couldn't have build more due to the Flood spreading at such a fast rate, well, they really aren't able to test this thing since the Halo's were never used so they must hope for the best. Now, they fire the Halo's the shield saves the group of Forerunner, yet the side effect of the weapon or perhaps a flaw in the design makes them stupid. In other words brain atrophy. Also this would expalin how we suddenly appear on Earth...
GameJunkieJim gives us good scientific details pertaining to this:

-blam!- Sapiens first appeared on this planet about 100,000 years ago HALO and presumably the others that would follow suit fired appx. same time People to point out, Halo would have killed everything. The strata of the earth would even support this, as scientist that believe we evolved from -blam!- neanderthalensis are still trying to find links but the record stops at around 100,000 years ago. See a pattern?
In closing with this info we sorta just appear around 100,000 years ago, when the rings were fired. Though we don't know from exactly what we came from just that first we have our REALLY ancient anscetors, or close ones, then nothing, then here we are. There is no link. Hence the great scientific term, "The Missing Link". This may be that link. Sorry for the excess of info, and for the sorta sloppy manner, I need to work on orgainizing it all nice with colors and such LoL.
