So if the Halos are selective in what they destroy (and we know they are) is it possible that Cortana somehow recalibrates them to destroy only the flood? Maybe it's something she has to do from inside the ark. Of course all this is assuming she hasn't completely lost her mind and that you can somehow retreive her. I'll leave all that speculation up to someone else.
(First off, sorry for the double post... but the near-proven truth is:)
It mentions in the books/game that it takes a TREMENDOUS amount of energy from energy/plasma based weapons to kill the flood, as you have noticed while trying to kill them using Covie tech. It has been theorised that the sentinals were special-produced, and only they were effective. But also notice, the sentinals have VERY low batteries, and run out quickly. Nothing the Forerunners had in enegry-base was easy and long-lasting enough. Thus, they had to settle for using the Halos to kill all they feed on to stop them. Sadly, it doesn't work the first time, and the Flood were allowed to live. It would be impossible to kill the Flood using the Halos, especialy now that Alpha Halo has been knocked out of the grid. The Halos are now vitrualy useless, they do not make the entire galaxy void, and that gives the Flood a chance to send out their vengance once again, even if it was activated. In this next game, I doubt the actual HALOS will play much of a role at all. I'm fairly sure it will focus mostly on the Ark.
