In Response To: Re: Human Forunner... (MonkeyDude)

: Here's something i thought of, i dont necesarily think its right, but i just
: thought i throw it out here to see what other people think. My idea on the
: forerunner is that they were an AI created by humans. They resemble
: humans, but are perfect machines that are physically and mentally
: superior. Their close resemblence to humans explains GS343's reaction to
: humans and forerunners as the same being. They could have been created for
: many reasons, but most likely military purposes. The human race could now
: fight a war and suffer virtually 0 human casualties. They had access to a
: virtually limitless supply of the perfect soldier. The forerunners AI
: became to smart, so they seperated and created their own world, Halo. This
: could explain the reason Halo's atmosphere resembles Earth's; it is the
: only one that the forerunners had really been able to get a good look at.

: Now, the forerunners knew they were superior to us, and hated to see a weak
: (in their opinion) race sending thousands of their kin out to die in wars.
: They had to make the ultimate weapon to destroy humans, but NOT destroy
: the forerunner left on Earth, explaining the biological nature of the
: flood. It also explains why the flood is all over Halo: the forerunner
: have no reason to fear it.

: The Halo in itself was not a weapon. The flood was the actual weapon. A good
: analogy would be a missle in a silo. The silo (Halo) stores the bomb, and
: from in here it can be worked on and perfected. Then when the time comes,
: it unleases the missle (the flood) to be used as the tool for
: destructuion.

: Humans are almost completely wiped out by the flood, except for a few various
: colonies that are able to relocate and reproduce, evetually restarting and
: rebuilding the human race.

: The covenant see the flood also as the ultimate weapon, and wish to gain the
: power for themselves. They eventually overpower the forerunner. My idea on
: how they were able to do this, if the forerunner were the perfect soldier,
: was that the forerunner became to proud and thought they were invinceable.
: They figured no one could beat them with the flood on their side. They let
: up there defences and the covenant didnt have such a hard time eliminating
: them.

: As for the covenant wanting humans dead, what i assume is that they thought
: the original owners of the flood came to reclaim it. If that happened, the
: humans/forerunner would definitly use the flood to overpower and kill the
: covenant.

There's one main problem with your theory...

Why is Halo equipped with an energy pulse weapon? If Halo was simply described as having a weapon capable of eliminating sentient life, one could argue that this weapon is actually the Flood, but 343 Guilty Spark specifically says that "this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years." Cortana later states, "The machinery in these canyons are Halo's primary firing mechanisms. They consist of three phase pulse generators that amplify Halo's signal, and allow it to fire deep into space."

If the Forerunner were capable of producing a weapon like that...

...why would they waste time creating the Flood?
