I don't think the flood can be affected by Halo...
I know. Which is why I am saying "Why not invent a weapon that would kill the Flood instead of everything else?"
I mean, if the humans and Prophets can do it, surely the Forerunners can too.
They can't. At the time of the original Flood, it was NOT the Flood as we knew it. It merely turned you into a cannibal, not really forced you into a collective state of super-consciousness controlled by the Gravemind. In fact, it appears the Mind didn't even exist at the time, and neither did the Flood Super Cell (FSC).
It is stated in Cryptum that the the original Flood was defeated but only to extreme losses and sacrifice. But the Forerunners found them again in new and unexpected forms; hence, the modern Flood.
It would seem the Flood evolved to become adaptable to any form of offensive meassure; the FSC can create any organ or any Flood variant it needs to accomplish the Gravemind's tasks.
The Pre-War Flood was primitive both in methods and design (yet still almost destroyed the Human Empire). The Flood we know of cannot be cured, and its new methods of instant evolutionary adaptation by way of the FSC and the omniscient intellect of the Gravemind make the Flood that WE know virtually impossible to fight.
So no, the Humans and the Prophets never found a cure for the Gravemind's Flood, as any cure is impossible; the FSC will adapt it.
