SPOILER ALERT
the Halos are rings that annihilate every being in the universe, and are considered holy objects by the Covenant, a group of aliens hellbent on using them to get to the "Great beyond", while humans (having common sense) know that these weapons are massive weapons of destruction that wipe out EVERY thing in the galaxy, but they are mainly meant to be used to kill the Flood, a parasitic fungus/leech/parasitic thing that controls and mutates your body, they reproduce quickly, not unlike a mushroom, but they need to control a host, and when they do, it usually ends up with the host being alive, yet still feeling the pain and anguish of being controlled.
The Forerunners are acytually the humans themselves, and they built the rings, and they even created the Flood, even though it is not known by whether it was by accident or on purpose.
Mainly, the rings are used to destroy the Flood, but the Covenant want to use them as 'gates to get into heaven', which the Flood are'beacons for the rings' and the rings fire at every planet in contact with the flood, and any other planet in the vicinity, as a precaution. they are mainly meant to destroy the Floods food supply, therefore starving the flood.

The halos are the Ringworlds left by the forerunners. The covenant believe its a tool in their "Great Journey", a religious event similar to the Apocalypse, but it was discovered that they are really massive weapons to destroy all life on a massive scale (part of the galaxy) in an attempt to starve the flood. The halo's killed all the forerunners as a last ditch effort to get rid of the flood parasites.
