they activated the halos thousands of years ago to prevent the flood from spreading, thus killing themselves along with all other sentient life.
But ddint they make the Arc to save them self from the halos? wouldent that be the place they would go to becasue 1. your safe there and 2. you can activate all the halos there in the first place.
Maybe they made the ark (well yeah) but they hadnt had the flood break out yet. While they were either safetly studying the flood or on the rings the flood broke out, since they weren't on ark they had to activate Halo when they were on it, they didnt want to leave Halo because it would bring the flood if they stowed on their ships. Maybe thats why the forerunners didnt activate Halo from the ark.
