Re: The Forerunners shouldn't have lost the war.

: From the Terminals we see that the galaxy had very many inhabited worlds : 100,000 years ago. : The Flood attacked inhabited worlds. They picked up billions of recruits from : each world. It wasn't fighting robots. : The Forerunners may have been slow to mount their response (though they had : 300 years). At the end of the conflict they could muster trillions of : Sentinels but this may have been limited to extra specially important : locations. Those trillions would be spread very thin across the galaxy. : And the Flood had MB's help. This forced Didact's hand and the Array was : activated. The Flood only had MBs help at the very end. Even if there were 1000 inhabited worlds in the galaxy at that time, with a force of 100 trillion sentinals that's 100 billion Sentinals stationed on each planet, ready to react to any landing of a flood ship, and annihilate an infestation before it could gain numerical superiority. Remember, most of the Flood Forms back then were unarmed, as the majority of those infected were civilians. Also note the average Forerunner planet had a population of 200 billion.
