I think that The Didact is not out to destory Humanity, but to see if they are worthy of becoming the next Reclamers because he wanted us to become it, he fought and saw they could do it so maybe he wants to see if we are still as powerful as when he fought the old humans! he is doing this not out of hatred but he wants the Forerunner legacy to forever live within us? Also maybe we think of him as an evil but he is trying to do things the forerunner way

The Precursors are the testers, for almost all of the time the forerunners held the mantel they thought that the Precursors had given it to them. The Primordial revealed that the forerunners had failed the test and where going to be wiped out. But they fought back and took of the mantle. Not until the end of the forerunner-flood war did they learn they where wrong and then chose humanity to take there place. Cant remember where from but i heard humans where to be tested 100,000 after the first test by the precursors. And its has been 100,000 years and we are to be tested again.

The Forerunner way was an abject failure. Galactic stagnation for both them as a species technologically and with other races with their evolution was the Forerunner way. Killing humans as some arbitrary test of our mettle instead of simply preparing us for our destiny only solidifies that fact.

Thats my point! The Forerunners failed the test but took it anyway, so there ways of testing others is a bit more"Harsh". It may not be right but it is there way

Their way is wrong, dead wrong. Someone who failed a test does not get to give advice to someone about to take one…especially when the test involves VOLUNTARILY sacrificing your race to the Flood.

In none of the books have the shown forerunners to work that way, it just wouldn’t fit in with what has been established in the books.

But the Forerunner’s did not create the flood, and im almost sure that the flood was not part to the mantle test! The UNSC does not know they failed and that would give the didact a HUGE advantage because we dont know any of any weakness that he has, besides the flood and the halo’s of course

They took on the mantle and are running things a hell of alot differently then the Precursors! the test is in there eyes better because they want to test how strong a race is, remember it would be there first test of seeing who gets the mantle
You still haven’t said anything to make this make sense. You say the Didact wants to see how strong humans are…yet is it wise to kill and destroy the people and the few resources they have AFTER getting decimated in the war they are fresh out of WITH the knowledge that the Precursors are coming?
Because no matter how much you slice it, putting humans at a disadvantage does nobody ANY good.

The POINT IS TO SEE IF THEY ARE WORTHY, HUMANS ARE ALWAYS AT A DISADVANTAGE! He wants to see first hand if they can win
