First off everyone, except Mr. IIIDelta here, knows that the flood hibernate, but say they didn't, how would they have enough food for 100,000 years, they would need millions of bodies maybe billions. So i'm thinking they did not hibernate at first, I think that they had enough food to last maybe 5 or 6 thousand years and when they ran out of food they did like bears, they ate what they could then went into hibernation. I mean bears can hibernate for 3 months, why then, can't the flood do the same to survive. Also the firing of Halo was fairly successful, except for the fact that there was life on earth even 100,000 years before 2552, so why is there still life on Earth. The answer: the Ark. Now imagine being a forunner, having no choice but to destroy every sentient being, everyone you've ever know to keep the flood from spreading, every option spent. So what do you do, you make sure life goes on, but far enough from the Halos so that the chances of finding them, and the flood, are very remote. Also, if the rings killed all sentient life, then why are there Covenant? Don't doubt Bungie on this, I expect that they will explain all this in Halo 3. But wouldn't it be cool if Humans were the Forunner. The Covenant's lords, and their greatest enemy. That would make a good ending.
Where are you guys getting that the flood can hibernate. It might be a sensible theory that they hibernate, but what i'm saying is that you guys need to support your points with things from the books, games etc. It was never mentioned in those materials that the flood can hibernate. Just because it made sense, it doesn't mean that it is true. What do you mean EVERYONE knows that the flood hibernates? What, are YOU writing the story or making the game?
Do you know the flood. How long do you know they last without food? YOU, yourself would get hungry in a day, but how would you know the flood. Please check your logic, so that it isn't that easy to attack!!!!
