==Outcome of the war==
Technically isn't it a self-induced Forerunner defeat, as the Forerunners annihilated themselves by firing the Halo rings while leaving the Flood alive.
:You do know we're Forerunner right? And also, in Contact Harvest, after Mercident Bias(Or however you spell it)tells the Prophets at the Dreadnought that he has watched them misinterpret it for years, and he states that their symbol for "reclaimation" was actually upside down, and stood for "reclaimer", and therefore Harvest was full of them.

== Forerunner survival? ==
Why does it say that the forerunners survived and left the galaxy? I thought the Forerunners were killed by the array? And if I'm wrong then what's the source?[[User talk:Toen6|Toen6]] 22:10, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
You're right, the [[Forerunners]] did not survive the [[Halo Array]]. [[User talk:Redkast|Redkast]] 22:13, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
For both of your questions, this information came directly from the Halo Encyclopedia, specifically pages 16, 28, 171, and 289.
It just hasn't been sourced into the page.
Unless there is more recent information that you are aware of that contradicts this, then this is, for the time being, fact.

As an additional note, acknowledging that this section is quite old, Silentium makes it clear that at least a small number of Forerunner survived when the Lesser Ark (the Halo 3 Ark) was fired; additionally, 343 released a short reading of the trial of Mendicant Bias after the release of Halo 4, which takes place some time after the Halos were fired.

I came in here to see what was being disputed...and poof. Nothing. What the heck? [[User:Itsgms|Itsgms]] 06:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

How do we know that the Flood entered the Milky Way Galaxy in 98,379 BCE? That is only when they were discovered on G617g. The Flood could have been lying dormant on that planet for thousands of years.

==Discrepancies in dating ==
I've been researching the Forerunner-Flood War as part of a discussion with a friend, and he said that the Halo Nation [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Forerunner-Flood_war#cite_ref-arraywithwords_0-0 article] has a more accurate dating of six centuries as [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-array-with-words said] by this article, linked in the Halo Nation article. Is there a way to resolve this, or is Halopedia more accurate? --[[Special:Contributions/173.71.151.54|173.71.151.54]] 01:15, 12 November 2016 (EST)
:That Cannon Fodder doesn't mention anything about the Forerunner-Flood war lasting six centuries, only that ended on 97,445 BCE. --[[User:Dr Mutran|They're coming. They're hungry.]] ([[User talk:Dr Mutran|talk]]) 08:24, 12 November 2016 (EST)
::I thought so. Thanks for clearing that up. --[[Special:Contributions/173.71.151.54|173.71.151.54]] 21:58, 12 November 2016 (EST)
