btw Im not sure if this should go in the Halo forum here or gerneal but anywho... I was just scanning around the HBO site about the plot and it started me thinking about the whole purpose of Halo. It stops the flood spreading (I'll refrain from lengthy GS343 quotes), was built by the forerunner and so on. Maybe the forerunner were almost wiped out by the flood and they built these Halo's as areas to live (hence the atmosphere) which could then wipe out all the infected areas.
a) They kept some flood for study to try and understand them more??? And then the flood got out somehow killed the remaining forerunner and then they were left stranded there. But the protocol could not work if everyone was killed and no one could act as the 'recliamer' as GS343 alludes to the fact they've conatined them once before. But it seems like Halo has no defense mechanism for itself.
b) Or maybe 'The Library' contained loads of species and Halo was some kinda zoology research facility. Flood broke loose Halo enacted to prevent their spread. But it sounds like Halo was specifically built for the flood but why have the level called The Library.
c) Of course we know there are other Halos so if the Flood broke out of one it doesn't mean the forerunner were wiped out then. Unless their un-manned (or unforerunnered) facilities, but why the atmosphere on the surface??? Maybe the forerunner were trying to stop the flood for good and take themselves with them to save the universe but they got onto one of the Halos???
A lot of people think GS343 is crazy, but he is AI so he should do what he is told despite having personality traits like Cortana. So i think their must be some logic than GS343 cocked up on his job or went crazy and wiped out the forerunner. Id sure bet the flood wiped out the forerunner somehow. It seems likely the Flood will be back and GS343 and definately another Halo from what Bungie have said, so has does it all tie together for Halo 2 and in the pre-Halo forerunner storyline. Im guessing they're gonna answer some questions in Halo 2, but maybe not all for the sake of more Halotastic games so who knows what we'll find out.
c) I should take a look in the mirror and and think its only a fictional game what looked and sounded cool didn't necessarily have to conform to some kinda intricate plot and realise I got an exam tomorrow and its 12:40 and this post is way too big for anyone to read it all. But seriously what do you guys think?
