Read the books. The books are part of the Halo canon and are directly related to the Halo bible - and therefore, directly to the games as well. The books explain a great number of things.

halo script writers messed up!!!! Why would the forerunner kill themselves if the flood were just gonna go sleep?


The Forerunners probably didn't know that the Flood would just hibernate. I'm sure this was all part of the plan by the writers.

Question, and tell me if this seems right.

When the rings are activated, are all the current larger floods killed? Since they have biomass? Further, Does that mean that the rings are simply designed as a containment proceedure for possible outbreaks of flood while under study on the ring platforms?

Perhaps the previous reclaimer realized that even a small breach of flood into the system, would eventually lead to a Flood controlled galaxy.

I think the flood are like the borg from Star Trek (any Trekkies around here besides me? :-D). Gravemind is sort of like the borg queen, and commands all the flood to do something.

I wouldn't say that. The Flood were repairing Truth and Reconciliation. They certainly have intelligence, which explains why they only seem to attack sentient life.


I wouldn't say they are intelligent in themselves but from how they are described in the books they STEAL a lifeforms' intelligence and uses it against others...

Marines: if you can't find a bookstore in whatever city you live in that sells the books (most of the major ones do), then you will probably have to order them online.

Your statement that Keyes released the Flood is wrong. When Keyes arrived at the swamp facility, there was already a dead Elite there, and they couldn't figure out what killed it. Also, Guilty Spark tells the Master Chief: (in the Library) "I would conjecture that the other species currently on the installation are responsible for releasing the Flood. They seem most persistant in accessing restricted areas."
