Why did the prehistoric humans not ask for help against the Flood?
So Humanity attacked and conquered other peaceful planets even Forerunner planets because they were fleeing for the Flood.
After a 1000 year during war that eventually was born between the Humans and the Forerunners, the Humans were simply exhausted.
The Forerunners almost exterminated the Humans and wanted to punish them etc... .
After the Humans were devolved, the Forerunners learned that the Humans weren't actually attacking the Forerunners but fleeing from the parasite named the Flood.
It was simply an act of survival.
Now i wonder, how did i take a 1000 years to discover and understand the true nature of a war?
If forerunners themselves were such an (almost) enlightened species they could have easily discovered the true reason of the sudden Human hostility despite their rivalry.
-Couldn't the Humans just simply ask Forerunners to aid them in the battle against the Flood?
The Forerunners saw themselves as the Guardians of the known galaxy, so they should have helped if needed, they were forced to help.
-And even during the war that lasted 1000 years there must have been any trace of the Flood?
-How many conversations can there be in a millenium?
-How many interrogations during the war has there been?
If i were a Forerunner and i would capture a Human, i would at first ask on which argument they attack.
Or when Humans cleansed the surfaces of the Forerunner shield worlds, i as a Forerunner would simply ask why and then the Humans could have told about the parasite.
No the Forerunners just reacted with a full scale armada.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Desert_Fox_23 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 When you attack an enemy in a head-on assault, what's your top priority going to be? Ensuring they can't call for reinforcements. Shut down planet-wide communication. Forerunners are left none-the-wiser, and humanity eradicates everything on the planet. Even with the Forerunners thinking the Flood was just a human bio-weapon, the shutting down of planetary communications would be an act of sabotage the Forerunner would believe that humans had themselves conducted. No matter which way you cut it, humanity look like the aggressors. No quick email to the Ecumene Council is going to change that.[/quote] You're bending the story to fit your needs. Your assumption that the Forerunner thought the Flood was a human Bio-Weapon draws the conclusion that the Humans and Flood arrived at [i]each[/i] Foreunner planet at [i]exactly[/i] the same time. But this assumption is proved wrong in the Halo 4 terminal where the Humans explicitly state that the Flood arrived ahead of them. So once again, the Flood were ravaging a Forerunner planet [i]before the Humans were even there[/i] and didn't manage to inform anyone off planet of this? Why were the Forerunner unable to send warning back home of the Flood before the Humans could arrive and destroy the planet? Surely the assumption can be made, that with how widespread the Flood infection was, that the Flood was affecting Forerunner worlds that the Humans never even visited. How could Humans be blamed for this? These questions have no answer because the plot is horribly contrived... you don't need to be so blindly loyal to 343. edit: It's clear after reading your posts that you're [b]very[/b] passionate about the direction that 343 is taking the story, so I give up debating the finer points with you. After all - it just boils down to a matter of opinion.[/quote] Think about it though your planets being attacked by the Flood you have no idea what it is you tell the rest of the Forerunners off planet. Then a Human fleet conveniently appears and destroys the planet any Forerunnner's who investigate the aftermath or were in contact with that planet could only assume the flood was a Human bioweapon. And the Humans appeared after to clean shop.
