the halos
anyone interested in astronomy knows about gamma bursts, caused when objects with large gravity interact, like 2 neutron stars merging,(sp?) or a neutron star being pulled into a black hole. when this happens, the gamma radiation destroys all life within it's range. the halos are probably the forerunners way of replicating that, only much more powerful, since they could control gravity with gravity lifts and things, they could replicate that too.
my theory
i believe that the forerunner were at war with the covenant, and the flood. they activated the halos, but not before making a museum of artifacts that the original species used, to keep life going like it did. they altered the covenants genetics so that there wouldn't be another war. the prophets lived on a moon, and were on the opposite side of the planet from the halo when it went off. some survived, but not before the gamma twisted their minds. the prophets recreated the war, and we never found our museum thing, and since life originated in africa, the covenant arent glassing the planet in order to find the forerunner artifacts.
the covenant found theirs, and that is why their tech is all copied from forerunner tech
i agree with eagle 117s theory on the rest
i hate typing so i am sorry this is a little short i will add on later, and i apologize if this is too confusing, i will attempt to explain it if you dont understand it

I've heard this before, the only thing different is you say prophets lived on a moon.

fatalsnipe is correct the covenant didn't come into existence until long after the forerunners had disappered.
