Based on campaigns.

When the UNSC discovered the Flood, where the people if Earth told about it, or was it classifid Top Secret?

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I doubt, even after the event in Voi, the UNSC let the rest of the populace to know about the Flood. Kept as top secret as top secret can be.

I would say that they would try to keep it under wraps. Wouldn't want to scare the crap out of the entire remaining civilian population, they've had enough to worry them in recent years with the Covenant. Ignorance is bliss as they say, and if most people didn't know, humanity would have a better chance of regaining some sort of normality.

We should know better, because we are better.

Absolutely. There is no reason the UNSC and ONI would want to spread panic by telling the truth about it.

Just imagine the uproar if the flood were spreading over earth and quickly heading towards cities and towns. Civilians would demand to know why ONI didn't tell them so they could set up emergency anti flood protection and be prepares to fight

They'd keep it a secret, but leakage would be inevitable.

Quote from Confucius

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
