What I'm curious about is how the Humans were able to stop the Flood, whereas the Forerunner couldn't 10,000 years later...
Probaly because if you remember Halo Legends, it said that the Forerunners were a peaceful society so they didn't have great military strategy or weapons whereas (also stated in Halo Legends) the Human race had been built up through war.
This mean't that a large portion of Humanity was built around weapons of mass destruction. The Forerunners may have had the advanced technology, but they didn't have the massive firepower the UNSC did to pretty much nuke the Flood when it showed up on our doorstep.
No, you misunderstand.
I'm talking about the ancient human's encounter with the Flood. They were able to drive them back out of the galaxy all while battling the Forerunners. Sure, they lost to the Forerunner, but they were able to hold back the Flood.
By memory they used some kind of vaccine to hold back the Flood.
(Also, the Forerunners weren't as peaceful as you think.)
