i realy hope that we find out how and why the flood were made or where they came from if not there should defenitly be a game for it , it would be awsome
it would be called Forerunner or wsomething it would be the battle between the Forerunner and the flood and maybe another few races and one that will suprise us like the brutes or elites or humans what ever the forerunners are not and all the way to the the end when they activeate the rings , that would rock! who thinks so?

actually they were created by the forerunner's as an experiment[by the mad scientist of the forerunner's]and were meant to help the forerunner's but something went wrong and the flood went evil like,so they built the halo's but when they activated them they were in a sort of safe haven but the flood were there too!So when they came out so did the flood and the flood took over the mad scientist and he became GraveMind.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

No one knows (except Bungie) wether the Flood were created, or encountered.

It does say that Flood were 'encountered' over Alpha Halo, but it doesn't say if it was the first time or not.

Okay, everyone asks me how I know this, and instead of retyping it every time, I'll just sticky this explanation for future reference.

GAS GIANT

The gas mine is one of many suspended in the depths of the Gas Giant
Theshold, the planet around which Halo once orbited. However, these
facilities predate Halo by thousands of years. More industrial in nature, they
operated autonomously for milennia, with only a handful of Sentinels to
maintain them.

But when the Flood was first encountered, the Forerunners retrofitted
some of these gas giant mines to study the parasite. Dangling from a support
superstructure higher in the atmosphere, the mines could be detached in the
event of an outbreak. The Forerunners captured and stored countless
specimens in their desperate search for any defense against the Flood.

All that they learned was that more extreme measures would be
necessary.

Pg. 87 The Art of Halo

The Art of Halo was written by Eric S. Trautmann, the owner of the Halo Bible, creater of the Halo universe, writer of the Halo storyline. He is to Halo what Greg Kirkpatrick was to Marathon. This is official background information that is irrefutable.

For those that are skeptic about what "discovered" means *cough* Sakka *cough*, let me put it this way. If the Flood were discovered by the sense of the word meaning created, why would the Forerunner have encountered them? You do not encounter something you created. Therefore, the Foreruner did not create the Flood. Final.


There you go. Short and sweet. Encountered. Not created.
