[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bungie Sam [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jump Into Hell [b]Human-Flood War[/b] ... [b]Human-Forerunner War[/b] ...[/quote]Thank you, I'm aware of these which were highlighted in the video I linked in the OP. The wiki doesn't highlight events in a comfortably in-depth detail, which is why I asked here to seek additional knowledge. If there are more notable events I'd appreciate if you could share them here. Is there an upcoming novel to finalize the Halo universe's story, too?[/quote] I don't think the story can ever be 'finalized', but if you mean wrapping up the Forerunners' story, I think you're looking for Silentium. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 Only the cure was later discovered to be fake, as the Timeless one (a Precursor) reveals that the Flood simply chose to stop infecting humanity because they passed the 'test' the Precursors created for the Mantle - which involves having to succumb to the Flood, since it's viewed by the precursors as the perfect life form. Humanity passed because, in a last ditch effort to stop the Flood, they threw a massive amount of their population against the Flood.[/quote] The Primordial(aka the Timeless One) is actually a Gravemind. This is revealed at the end of Primordium. I don't remember reading anywhere that the Precursors thought that the Flood was the perfect life form. Also, the humans threw their population against the Flood to spread the cure, which killed the Flood while sacrificing their own. [Edited on 11.20.2012 8:30 AM PST]
