Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

Forerunner constructs seem to have practicly become immune to rampacy. Just the fact they can function perfectly after 100,000 years is testament. The forerunner probably found ways to stop the A.I. programming from intertwining and falling apart. Only MB has evedince of going rampant and thats because he was screwed up real good by the gravemind. He even says that his capacity was his weeknes. Also all that data cortana retrievs from the first halo might hold the key to her survival (unless it was indeed a piece of MB inside of halo). O and sparky going mad in halo 3. Thats was probably because his ring was deystroeyed and he was just a bit shaked up from time.
How do you figure dude? Spark was mad from the get-go, and it is evident in the things he says both in Halo CE while playing The Library and in comments made in The Flood. Forerunner AI doesn't play by the same rules as UNSC AI, remember that. He may not be "rampant" by the definition that we know, but Forerunner AI is not infallable. Spark went against his creators programming in Halo CE by attempting to kill a reclaimer, the first one he'd seen in thousands of years. In Halo2 he was still nothing more than a glorified nut-job, no longer having a "purpose" due to the loss of his installation. We all no what happened in Halo3, when his "instanity resulted in the death of Johnson, another reclaimer that was going to ignite the ring and destroy the flood, only at the expense of the installation.
Spark was anything but stable, not to mention as others have said that there is written history of Forerunner AI being corrupted in the terminals. As far as what Spark said to MC (once again evidence of being unstable) he also made comment about MC's armor that alludes to their being simlar armor systems in times past, so it could just bea memory glitch. There are a myriad of assumptions to be made, time travel is the easiest because it requires no explanation and little creativity to sell.
Spark didnt go against protocol in Halo 1 by attempting to kill the chief. Just because hes a reclaimer and his "duty" is to activate the ring and he dosent want to dosent make it ok. Sparks purpose at this point, what protocol tells him to do is stop the chief and activate the rings before the flood spread beyond the instalation. It had to be done from sparks perspective. And he didn't want to blow up the ring for obvious reasons. In Halo 3 I believe he truly gone rampat all the way. He had done all he could to save his first ring, now his second was about to be blown up. Sparky believed they could wait untill the ring was completed and then fire it. High charity wasn't going anywhere. The flood didn't have posescion of another ship to get off the Arc. But they could have taken over the Elites ship.
And when hes talking about chiefs armor i dont see what your saying about it. The Forerunner did have power armor or "combat skins". The Chiefs Armor would be extremlly week compared to theres. The monitor rated his armor at one point in the game or book. He said it was a class 4 or something. And in the Terminals they talk about combat skins as high as 14 and in the twenties.
And yes dude whos name I forgot. I've always thought if the chief did go back into time (key word there "did") he could have gone to the forerunner time and even be the one who activated the rings for the first time. Which is why sparky would remember him. If he wasn't just rampant. Which I believe there is some truth to what he has said throught the games. Heck even the name given to him by the covenant (oracle) hints that Bungie has something plan for the future (or the past).
