Subject: The Precursors, the forerunners and the flood

I read that the precursors are the flood graveminds. If they are is the Forerunner and Precursor war the same thing as the Forerunner and the Flood war or were they different wars.

No u

The Didact was simply asking the Timeless One if the Precursors were the Graveminds. The Timeless One did not confirm or deny this theory.

Anywayz we believe the Precurors were different races working as one and the flood was just one of them. Or they created the flood as a last resort against the forerunners, just like us and nukes. Or Precursors created and then gave themselves to the flood in order to try and create a pefect life form that would not fight or hate.


BTW the Verse is pretty slow so it'll take awhole for more answers.

This guy is on here alot.

Anywayz Jensen if you think about it it kinda would make sense if they created and give themselves up to the flood.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

Precursors are believed to be a collection of Tier 0 races, similar to how the Covenant was a collection of races.

One race of the Precursor "alliance" (if you like) was Flood, and some people on this forum theorise that the other Precursor races willingly gave themselves to the Flood, seeing the Flood as the way to create peace in the galaxy.

My theory continues on from this; that the Forerunners were invited to join this but they rejected the idea. Causing the Forerunner-Precursor war.

YOU RIPPED OFF MY THEORY! haha kidding. I dount they asked the Fourerunners to join. I think they were just play toys for the P's and when they got bored of them they tried to destory them.

Perhaps. But I don't think so. I think the flood were created by the Precursors and I will stick to that.

I agree on that part but what I'm getting at is the P's threw themselves at the flood to be turned. Why do I think so? The P's seem to be about peace for everything and the best thing for that is the flood.
