[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] agent wash282 Im all for ancient humans being a galactic empire. Even having a war with forerunners but when you say they were getting as strong maybe stronger than forerunners it takes away from the mystery and power that the forerunners had in halo CE - 3. Also the new way the flood is portrayed as being this test of submission messes with me. If the test is to submit then why didn't the flood just end up infecting/killing everything? It goes from the galactic plague/revenge against forerunners and other species to a tool in precursor's ruling us after they left. To be honest if I could ask both Bungie/343 one question it would be was all this new information planned in the Halo bible since at least halo 2 or has all of this come up after halo 3 or when 343 started being involved?
