Instead of taking stock of the situation he immediately took over the Prometheans (using convenient space magic), got the Covenant onboard and then went straight off to the Composer to compose the humans on Earth. I'm just not sure why..... I never got the impression that he was petty and vain in the books, or that he'd ever resort to something as base and subjective as revenge. It's quite a frustrating way to tell a story I think, with a conveniently unstoppable and all-knowing enemy with a motive that is hard to understand or comprehend.[/quote] He's finishing what he started so when the Flood return, they will be ready for them this time. Plus, if he knows the Precursors threatened Forerunners with destruction to be replaced by Mankind, he wouldn't take kindly to that knowledge.[/quote] Maybe. I get the feeling Humanity's test already happened in Halo 3 when Chief took out the Gravemind and as far as we know most of the Flood on the Ark. The Precursors themselves may show up. That could be the reasoning for Didact wanting to build up an army by composing humanity. I get the feeling had Didact been successful and the Precursors did show up, I don't think they'd be all to happy that the race that tried to wipe them out and take the Mantle from them composed their heirs and turned them into machines to fight them. Such an act could very well doom the entire galaxy; both races the Precursors created are for the most part extinct, they'd probably unleash the Flood to wipe the slate clean and start "creation" all over again.[/quote] The Flood in Halo's 1-3 were an accident, and a very small infestation that resulted in captured flood cells in Forerunner labs. It wasn't a deliberate invasion started by the Precursors. Our test has yet to take place.[/quote] At this point there is no way to be sure until Halo 5 or the next Forerunner novel comes out. It's kind of annoying. I was hoping we'd get more information on the whole Precursor plan or a least hints of it in Halo 4. 343 left the ending very open ended; Did Didact survive his fall into the Composer's slip space event? Is he the last Forerunner or are the others on the Greater Ark outside the galaxy? Why is Didact so hell bent on thinking Humanity is the greatest threat in the galaxy? We didn't get a lot to go on regarding these questions.[/quote]Find out next time in Dragonball Z! [Edited on 11.21.2012 2:51 PM PST]
