Well done. Heres abit more.....
Humans were created by the Forrunner to basically take over after they all killed themselfs with the Halo rings (The big bang). I'm guessing there is a moniter of Earth in the Ark who began human evolution with some DNA samples the Forrunner left behind. Technically Humans could be the Forrunners. I think the Ark would be a huge installation in the planet, probably in Antartica or a Desert where no one would look for it. This does explane why 343 and 2401 call all humans "The Reclaimers" because the Forrunners hoped that we would find the Ark, and then go to the rings of Halo to find out our past.
The 100,000 year war was probably a massive battle between the flood and the Forrunners. The forrunners created the Halo rings to study the flood to find any weaknesses, but they were also used as a last resort. The Forrunners activated the Halo Rings in order to kill all flood outside of the rings. They knew it meant they would die too, so they put the Ark on Earth.
The Gravemind is a large flood organism, probably not made by the Forrunners. I think its an evolved form of the flood that escaped, and its tenticles reach out all over the ring. The "Blob" in the first Halo that Keyes was a part of is most likley a premature form of another Gravemind.
Apparently if you beat the game on legendary during the credits "Coming, Febuary 14th" pops up. To be honest, Halo 2 is not 4 years of work. I think they made 2 games, Halo 2 and a bonus game (Not a Halo 3) to finish the story off.
Disscuss.
