What do you think was their method? Were they powerful enough to wipe out a certain species as instantly as the Halos, (unlikely), or did they just hunt them down? I don’t think this has been revealed yet, so I’d like to hear your ideas on what they did to some of those unfortunate species.

I dont even have an idea, although I heard all their tech was based on Neuro Physics and almost considered sentient. Maybe they had some way of wiping them out with this technology, although I have no idea how lol
I don’t know how they wiped out their creations but we know the Forerunner at least had a way of fighting back. They actually succeeded as well, driving the Precursors away.
It depends on if you believe the Primordial. If the Precursors created the Flood, it could just be that they sent in the Flood to take over a species. Although TBH there is no way to tell if they even did wipe out species. This was something that was said by the Forerunners. And we are learning that they were less than noble with their intentions. It’s possible the Forerunners just wanted to wipe them out to become the dominant species in the Galaxy, and used this as their excuse.

Exactly why some Forerunners being an enemy is plausible :p. But anyway, I would assume too it was most likely the Flood being sent in on a species.

But unless there is some other species that is either just as advanced as the UNSC or further along, Humans would stand no chance against the Forerunners. UNSC integrated Forerunner tech into the Infinity, and that was with the help of engineers, who they need on the ship to continue to keep the Forerunner tech going. Once the Forerunners show up as an enemy, those engineers are going back to their makers. And the Humans will have one ship that once damaged could no longer be repaired.
I still just believe it was the Flood, as far as whether the Flood was intentionally sent to infect and absorb, or if they were sent as a test is up in the air for me. I think the Forerunners might have also misunderstood what the Precursors were doing though.
Maybe all the species that were created by the Precursors have a biological “kill switch” of some sort. Would that be possible?
The Flood.
I couldn’t think of a more effective way of wiping out entire species than The Flood.
Perhaps they used the Organon if it really existed. It was rumored to activate all he Precursors artifacts. Hell, it’s use could explain how the Forerunners managed to fight the Precursors.

I once had a thought that the Primordial was the Organon
They probably send in the flood.
And i highly doubt forunners or precursers will be the enemy in halo 4.If they were it would be a short game.Precursers will probably use some new species or the flood to do there dirty work.
In which case the only way i see this trilogy ending is with mc activating the rings.

This.

You must not be thinking too hard as the halo array is far more efficient than the flood you also have stars going nova.
As of now, we are limited on what we know of the precursers. They could easily have technology that simply destroyed everything. Or maybe a weapon that affected the “chromosones” of those hit and affectvely stopped reproduction all together. Or they could have used the flood. We simply dont know yet.
> Maybe all the species that were created by the Precursors have a biological “kill switch” of some sort. Would that be possible?
No, otherwise the Forerunner would have died long before the Precursors lost the war with them, unless they decided to not give the kill switch to the most powerful species they created.
DeceptionCobra:Perhaps they used the Organon if it really existed. It was rumored to activate all he Precursors artifacts. Hell, it’s use could explain how the Forerunners managed to fight the Precursors.
I forgot about that, definite possibility.
Im more curious to what they have been doing while they were gone all these years if they created the flood who knows what they can really do and what they have been doing.

The forerunners could have simply created something that blocked it or got to the precursors before they were able to do it. I doubt the forerunners were advanced as we know them to be when the precursors planned to erase them, they let life evolve to a certain point (probably to where they controlled a star system or two) before wiping them out. I know for a fact they wouldn’t let them have some large galactic empire and then try to wipe them.

Unless they did give the Forerunners it, but the Forerunners discovered it and removed it from themselves. The Forerunner’s abilities in genetic manipulation are impressive. Without that kill switch which they relied upon for eons, the Precursors could have found themselves, in their complacency, without a back-up plan to destroy this rebellious species.
Because let’s face it, survival against the aliens with conventionally indestructible materials (And thus ships) is not assured logically in either circumstance.

You and me both, I think they’ll come into play later in the trilogy. End of Halo 5, Halo 6.

> True they could have.I guess we will never know until 343 tells us. We know nothing about the Precursors when it comes to this. I would say the Flood was used but I think they created them way after.
