I have been thinking lately, about that Forerunner armor Guilty Spark mentioned that is six times more powerful then the MK IV, Sentinels and Forerunner technology in general. And it really got me thinking.
With all this super advanced technology and intelligence, you are telling me that the last and best solution the Foreunners could think of was a weapon that would kill all life in the galaxy including themselves and not the Flood themselves? Think about it: Master Chief was able to handle vast amount of Flood by himself. Now imagine Master Chief wearing armor 6x more powerful then his current armor. Now imagine an entire army/race with this technology fighting the Flood. And you are telling me they lost? And we haven't even seen half of what the Forerunner tech could really do. Also add the fact that the Forerunners had all the sentinels and such and still lost.
I think there is a key part still missing from the Forerunners. I find it very hard to believe that the Halos were the best resort they could think of to fight the Flood. or maybe the Halos have another purpose we do not yet know of. In fact. Isn't it possible that Cortana could have misinterepted Halos' true purposes?
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
I dought in Halo 1 or 2 you ever fought a real flood army. Chief with 6x armor wouldn't last against gravemind. After all, three SUPER sized enforcers couldn't and they have much more durablility than the chief.
But if you think about it, the Forerunners would have an entire army of Enforcers,Sentinels, and warriors wearing the strong armor, and as far as we know, Gravemind is one of a kind.
about Gravemind, I was thinking that he might be Forerunner as well, just infected and super sized. It might be possible that it betrayed the Forerunners before it became completely infected by activating the Halos killing all the Forerunners in the process. As far as we know, the Flood don't have a lifespan (Gravemind is at last 100,000 year old) so how don't we know that a single greedy Forerunner wanted immortality and used the Flood as his tools to reach it. Crazy idea but you never know.
