My primary Question related to Halo 3, is,

** How do the humans solve the problem of the flood
and defeat them and survive ??

Can and antidote be taken from Seargent Johnson ?
Do they activate the rings from the safety of the ark ?
Do they fight to the last man ?
Or do they let MC just do his stuff ?

Some of the insformation/speculation below may help you with answers,
but if you guys could come up with some ideas and answers that would be great !!

If the purpose of the halo rings is to destroy the food
of the flood, and does not kill the flood, then the forerunners
have succedes only in killing themselves and the rest of the
galaxy !!
( listening to 343 guilty spark confirms the death of all the forerunners
in Halo 1)
The problem of the flood remaining as a presesnce is not
solved by theactivation of the rings. When they don't have
food don't they go into a dormant stage, waiting for their next targets.
Therefore what did the forerunners acomplish by activating
the rings. Surely they are not supid enough just to kill everything
in the galaxy for no reason !! So there must be MUCH more to
the rings and there purpose than we know and that has been
revealed by bungie.

***** The monitor must know more than thats thats been revealed to
us beacuse he is one of the last living witnesses of the forerunners !!!!!!

***** Cortana must know alot more than she is telling because she
got into the computer systems in the control room and warned
chief of the true purposes of the rings !!!

SOME HAVE SPECUALTED

Perhaps the purpose of the rings was to teleport or release the flood in a manner
similar to a BIOLOGICAL WEAPON to kill an even more powerful enemy.
This would also accomplish killing all of the floods food because they would eat/
kill everything in the galaxy and when nothing is left, they would lie dormant
while the forerunners survived on the rings and the ark. SOmething must have gone wrong
howver as the forerunners did not survive.

what do you guys think ?

when the flood can't find anything to eat they go into thier dormant stage but if they stay there for to long they die off. If u listen to 343 GS in halo 2 on the last level he says "after exausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the rings..." this could mean the flood had spread off the rings and were inhabiting other planets, so when the forerunners activated the rings, the flood on those planets eventually died off and only the flood on the ring survived. The forerunners use the rings to grant instantaneous death to any sentient life in the galaxy as opposed to being turned into a flood when there is a containment situation. The forerunners know that after a while life will start to evolve again and hopefully the flood will have all died off by then but in the case of the games, obviously not

Yes but what is there to be protected from the flood if the rings kill
everything in the galaxy.
There is no one left to protect then see !!

Evolution is bogus just look at the compexiy of the DNA code.
It is more 100 times complex than the coding for Halo 2, and if
someone came up with the theory that a halo 2 disk and code
could create starting with a single lineof code over "billions
of years" (rolls eyes), you
would think they are crazy.

Let's not go there. This was went over hundreds of times.

Do they fight to the last man ?

All of the above. Well, the way I see it is, there are immunities to the Flood.

Or activate some microwave pulse on a grand scale that affects everyone on Earth with Boren's Syndrome.

If the ark grants safety then why didn't the forerunners survive ??

In Halo 1 343 guilty spark CONFIRMS the death of the
forerunners when they activated the rings !!

Case Closed.

would you rather have the flood running around the universe if the forerunners didn't activate the rings.

Yes !!
At least you can still try to fight them !!

You ( the forerunners ) can't fight them if you and
all of the rest of the universe are all dead from the activation of the rings !!

If the forerunners can build HUGE rings they can ccertainly build
shields or aother weapons to defend agaisnt the flood.

You are better off trying to fight to your last man,
than commit suicide.

DO you understand my point

What do you mean humans didn't exist !!
For all you know they could have been around
at the time of the forerunners.

In fact the forerunners could have been humans
if you interpret what 343 guilty spark said to MC
about being a reclaimer as refering to him as
reclaiming the Rings from his ancestors. ( My evidence from 343 guilty spark )

ALSO the rings kill ALL sentient life in the galaxy
something can't come from nothing.
meaning the humans couldn't appear after the time
of the forerunners if all life is exterminated from the rings

Unless the humans survived in the ark ***,
or came from another galaxy.

I am willing to listen to you opinions but please
back them up with evidence from the game or the books

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

-TBG-

just a thought really but as you said before if the forunners could build giantic rings couldnt they also build weapons. Mabey the weapons the covenant use are the forunner weapons cuz after all the covie did adopt the technology from the Forunners.

if you listen to the oracle a.k.a. the moniter he said that the rings are ready for romote activation from the ark meaning that they can destroy all life in the universus from earth. as for humans existing I ment if the forerunners didn't activate the rings the flood would get. off and kill all life in the universus meaning no more humans and i belive the forerunners are from earth.
