Sort of debated for a while whether I would even respond to this because I don't want to repost the same things I've posted in every thread like this ever, but I figured it seemed rude to just ignore you.
I'm just going to throw the short summary of what I always say to people who bring up the Precursors at you to try to help you understand:
1. You don't know anything about the Precursors. Within the Halo universe, almost everything about the Precursors are legends and stories rather than fact. They were beings of Forerunner mythology. You can see that in the Terminals in Halo 3. There really is nothing but fantastical fabrications about them to go by. So you have to understand why you cannot make a legitimate argument using the Precursors.
2. You said nothing can stop the Flood. They were stopped in the Halo universe, they can be even more easily stopped in the Star Wars one.
3. Even assuming Precursors had the advanced tech that is credited to them in the legends, the one thing that will make Star Wars always win over Halo no matter what, is The Force. You have every Force user that's ever been in the Star Wars universe, which would be hundreds of millions or billions.
With the Force they will know every move the Haloverse is going to make long before it's been decided to be made, they will be able to effectively counter it, the Force can aid non-Force users, and when you have every Force user ever, they can rip apart an entire Precursor fleet molecule by molecule from across the galaxy just by thinking about it. The Force is the Star Wars universe's most overpowered weapon, with infinite potential upped even more with all of it's other uses that I have no interest of listing.
This is why I hate these threads that start up the "Star Wars vs Halo," war. Because I always ending up getting into a discussion when I promise myself I won't. Gosh darn it. But anyway, that's a small summary. I know you'll still be arguing for the Halo side because I've been through enough of these threads to know how it goes. That's okay. I accept you for who you are.
And yes, I'm aware of the information in Cryptum.
You really didn't read Cryptum, did you:
here's what 343i has to say of them: "PRECURSORS--A civilization which preceded the Forerunners, leaving behind indestructible and inscrutable remnants of their way of life."
Every single mention of them in Cryptum points to how utterly shocked the Didact and Bornstellar are that the Halos can destroy the Precursors, because NOTHING can and has ever been able too. Born makes a point by saying many Precursor ruins have been subjugated underneath the crust of planets for millions of years by plate tectonics, churned through the molten core of several million degrees and impossible preassure, and reamerged on the other side completely unharmed. Only a Neural Weapon can harm them, because they ARE one with the universe. They can erase consciousness from history. We know this because that's what Halo is: a soul destroyer.
I said the Flood is unstoppable because we haven't stopped it yet.
"Defeat is simply an addition of time, a sentence to a fate I never deserved." We merely slowed it down. The Forerunners are highly more advanced then the Wars universe (again, read Cryptum, they destroyed an entire planet--literally destroyed it--with nothing but starfighters and terrestrial artillery).
And THEY couldn't defeat the Flood. The Gravemind exists as a singular conscious, with no real corpeareal body. The Flood is his body. Once they hit the coordinated stage, the Flood's unstoppable.
