Because they are not affected by the Halos.

Formula one racing kicks ass.

Calgary, Alberta Canada

Because the weapon must be on thew outside of the planet. Plus their is more than one halo (flood testing facility).

"halo doesn't destroy flood, it destroys their food" - Cortana in halo 1. the halo system is designed to destroy anything with suficient biomass to sustain flood parasite forms. basically the only way to kill the flood is to starve them to death. it's not too hard to believe that some would survive.

Infection forms don't starve, instead, without food they become dorment. Check back to the Library on Alpha Halo.

who's to say? for humans starvation is a very lengthly process. as long as your hydrated it could take weeks to die of starvation. who's to say flood don't last longer? there was only a limited amount of flood that survived but then the covenant stumbled upon the site they were kept and then the flood started to spread.

They ran out of food, and went into hibernation until they they were encountered by sentient life. So the Halos killed the Forerunner, but they didn't stop the Flood. Wow, what a great system.

Im pretty sure it did work and the only flood that were left were the ones preserved by forerunner for studying but when covies and people landed on the first halo they let loose the flood that were preserved and then the flood began spreading again. Remember the video chief finds that shows everyone getting attacked, I think thats when the preserved flood were accidentally let loose.

actually you could pretty much say it's about 99% certain that the covenant released them. when you recover the video from the fallen marine in the first flood mission, before the marines ever come into to contact with the flood they find an elite that had it's chest ripped open. typical of anything and infection form tries to infect. and cortana mentions before she sends MC to the swamps that "the covenant found something and now their afraid, give me a moment to access, o those covenant fools there should have known there must have been signs." don't think it's word for word but that's pretty much what she said. then she sends MC out to stop capt. keys from going in there. put two and two together, the covvies screwed up.
