I mean. We've all heard of them. We've all read posts saying things like " the forerunners were trying to create super soldiers " " Once all sentient life has been wiped out by the Flood, what do the Flood do? Die of starvation. Leaving planets free for colonisation. The perfect weapon. " Blah blah blah... But i want some answers! What is the flood?! Are they plants? What do they do? What were they created for? PLEASE ASNWER MEH!

" Play dead! That's what I did... played dead. They took the live ones... oh, God, I can still hear them! "

dude, you pulled a jesus!

They're a parasite, simply put. Their purpose is to infect others and multiply until there is nothing left to infect or consume. The question is what do they do when they infect everything and run out of resources?

You would think they would die out, Leaving planets to colonize. The Forerunners may have planned that. They would have an entire galaxy. all to themselves. Another question... How were they created? Did the forerunners make them? They ARE like the ultimate weapons if you think about it. And if you noticed... the sentinals suck against infected humans and stuff... Maybe because they werent made to deal wih flood warriors. no one was supposed to get on that ring!
