As much as I think this sounds incredibly stilted compared to the original, I loving love the idea that it was changed for no reason at all.

I re-read through the thread again but can you explain what your talking about?

After recently buying halo: legends (i think its ok) that line is in 'the package' and I trying to remember what other readings there was on it.

It's something Cortana says it one of the preview videos.

The original is basically the ending of Halo 2.

Oh I see, I remember the halo 2 ending but I thought you were referring to some sort of retcon/redo they had done.

Also we found a cure for The Flood a long, long time before that but when the Forerunner devolved us it was lost forever and that led to their destruction.

I don't really get the point in all that.

Actually it's kinda worse or better than that if I understood the second Greg Bear forerunner book. The precursors(?) left the flood as a revenge for the forerunners and as a test for the next race to take up the mantle which was intended to be ancient humanity, however humans got in the way and after sacrificing two thirds of the population in what they thought was a cure/counter bio weapon the flood just retreated instead of killing the rest until they could get to the forerunners directly. This is what the dying grave mind told the human memory pople at the end. The cure never worked at all.

Spoilered in case anyone's reading through the forerunner books.

Ok stuck waiting for Amazon uk to start sending it, prime delivery from my free month, is there a meta tag for spartan ops? I'm hoping I can get crews for that as it is co-op or I match making good enough?
