Even though it is said that the precursors created the Flood as a weapon, I don't think we'll be seeing them again. I think 343 would realize that would be franchise suicide to re-hash an already used element.[/quote] When in the F**k was it said or even implied the precursors created the flood as a weapon? The flood holds a relation to the Mantle it isn't some weapon. This is almost as bad as when john calls the composer a "weapon". The flood are coming back seeing as they are the reason for everything the covenant is the suicide content you are talking about.[/quote] I thought that's what Primordium was implying? The Flood being some kind of biological weapon used by the Precursors. [/quote] The Precursors view the Flood as the ultimate form of life. They're only a weapon in the sense that the Precursors [i]do[/i] tend to attack the galaxy and it's people with it like you would a bio-weapon, but they view it more as a test rather than a weapon. It serves a higher purpose.
