"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

A lot of people think the flood are experiments gone bad on Halo by I think Dr. Halsey.

343 guilty spark is a AI that can't see me in the future, and only I can kill him.

wtf are the floods?
The Flood: those Zombie like creatures. The Forerunner held them on Halo to be put to experiments and hopefully DNA extraction or use them as a weapon possibly. The little nut sacks with pubes for legs are the actual Flood, they burrow into anything that they can fit into and is alive, take over its nervous system, makes them more powerful and controls them, as well as mutating them. They can lose both arms and not twitch. They have one primal need, to reproduce, they want to spread and killing everything they can, and they want earth.

who the heck's that blue flying thingy, i keep shooting at it but it won't die! keep huming something
That is 343 Guilty Sparks, he was designed by the Forerunner, it doesnt die because it's important to the story line for Halo 2 (The Discovery Channel did a cover on Halo 2 and you see that Bungie has built Sentinels with the new bump mapping technology so expect his return). He is an AI how has control over the sentinels (Those flying robots with lasers) and he must make sure the Flood does not escape the containment (Halo). The way to assure that is to activate Halo, which effectivly kills every thing within a huge distance which could be used to spread the Flood.


... and who are the forerunners?!i keep hearing cortana talking about them, but that blue *blam!* (hehe my first blam!, proud of meself) mumbles too much that i can't hear anything...

The Forerunner is a species long ago who was extremely powerful and intelligent and for some unknown reason they dissapeared. The Prophets (Character from Halo 2) are the only things to know a forerunner, and the Elites consider them (Forerunner) as gods because of their might. They respect the Prophets for the fact taht they once lived with forerunner, and therefore treat prophets as royalty. The Forerunner built Halo to hold the Flood and experiment. Now, strangly Halo, built by the forerunner, perfectly suits life for humans and is Earth like. Also, 343 Guilty Sparks knows forerunner and thought Master Chief as well as another human, were Forerunners, assuring us that we are forerunners and dont know it. Now The only people who know that humans are forerunner are 343, us forum goers haha, and the prophets. Now imagine, a prophet finds a human group, and finds out that they dont know how they are, that they are forerunners. What would happen if the elites found out? The Elites would worship humans and forget all about the Prophets, the prophets would lose everything! So they give the Elites some forerunner technology as payment to kill off the human race.

Hope that answers your question ;-)

Contamination... like a disease. Remember SARS or whatever, it spread from oen person to another infecting more and more people, thats the flood. Imagine if what, 4 floodlings (The little things) crash lad a pod onto a small little town, they get into a home, take everyone over, now they have warriors and can infest, before night falls, the entire city is completely infested, every human and animal is a flood member. They dont sleep and can run and be active for great lengths of time, so they spread, and by the time the army is pressed, almost the entire population of that continent is under control of the flood, and they only keep spreading faster and faster. Now the forerunner don't want bad things like that to happen, so they contain the flood on Halo, and if the flood try to escape, the ring kills everything within a huge distance, assurign the infection doesnt spread... but the containment (Halo) was destroyed and now the Flood, fi they wernt killed by the explosion, are hurled in all directions into space.
