Phobic Dementia

WWI and WWII were both fought during times were communication in the field was often difficult, if not downright impossible given the level of technology at the time. But both the Forerunners and Humanity were at a space-faring level of technology. And that logic doesn't hold up. If Humanity was fighting the Flood, they would go VERY far out of the way to make sure that the Forerunners were at LEAST not an enemy. As for the Forerunner infested worlds. Again, no logic there. I don't believe that literally EVERYONE ON THE PLANET was either incapable or uncaring enough to try to communicte that their ENTIRE WORLD was being overrun by aliens. Furthermore, why did the Forerunners come running when Humanity attacked one of their worlds...but NOT when the Flood had attacked that very same world? And, okay, even assuming the Forerunners couldn't communicate the fact that the Flood was attacking their world, wouldn't the rest of the Forerunners learn IMMEDIATELY upon coming to defend the worlds that Humanity was attacking? It's not like the Flood are a subtle race.

Wait, wait, wait.... " "These planets coincidently had Forerunners on them." So, Humanity was destroying Forerunner-inhabited worlds infested with The Flood...AND THE FORERUNNER STILL DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FLOOD? Also, "There was no room for communications." Why?

Over the course of the campaign, we learn that long ago, Humanity and the Forerunners went to war. Ultimately, it was learned that the Humans weren't making war with the Forerunners, but, in fact, running from the Flood. Okay, wait... If Humanity was already engaged in a galactic battle with the Flood, WHY would they EVER start a war with the Forerunners? Aren't they threatened enough? Well, I've heard it put, "If you're running from a serial killer and have to cut through someone else's property, you're not going to care about the person that owns the property, you're running from a freaking serial killer." Okay, that makes sense. But wait...how did the Forerunners not learn that Humanity was fighting the Flood? I mean, it should have been very, very obvious. Well, maybe it all happened so fast that by the time the Forerunners realized humanity was fighting the Flood, it was too late for either side. Okay, that makes sense...only no, it doesn't. At all. Because the Forerunners and Humanity were at war for ONE THOUSAND YEARS. Yes, the Librarian herself states this fact, that they were at war for a millennium before they realized that the Flood was a thing. This doesn't even APPROACH making sense. We've all seen how fast the Flood spreads. How fast they work. Even if somehow, someway, the Forerunner battled Humanity on a galactic scale for a thousand years and SOMEHOW never ran into the Flood...don't you think Humanity would try to communicate the fact that they were facing a race of parasitic, unstoppable killers that would gleefully not only wipe out Humanity, but the Forerunners, too, if given the opportunity? Wouldn't it make FAR more sense for Humanity to try, desperately, to form a pact with the Forerunners? And I can't believe it's a breakdown of communications. The Forerunners built the Halos, they built the Ark, they are apparently able to enact a plan that takes literally one hundred thousand years to come to fruition. There's no way something like a lanague barrier would stop them. So, am I missing something here? How could 343i drop the ball so thoroughly on this little fact?

I watched Forward Unto Dawn with nothing but enthusiasm, and thought that it was fantastic. And I was looking forward to Lasky's introduction into the game but...what happened? If you compare him to how he looks in Forward Unto Dawn (present version) to how he looks in the game, they're literally not the same person. There's got to be a 20 year age difference. I mean, was Halo 4 already so far into production that they couldn't change how he looked or were the Forward Unto Dawn teams and 343i teams just not talking to each other?
