I'd like to know how they drive, too.

I thought they were just mindless zombies?

They aren't mindless, they infect living beings, taking over through the nervous system. This means obviously they'd be capable of the same things their host bodies were previously.

The tentacles on the top part of their torso probably serve some sensory purpose that allows them to drive and so forth.

Well, As I've watched the flood mindlessly run into things, I've noticed something. Why don't the flood ever attack guilty spark? this poses another question...What kind of senses do the flood have? Do they just have heat vision like the predator?

I would guess that the flood don't attack guilty spark because he is a machine, rather than a living creature which the flood can infect and, unlike the sentinels, he doesn't personally attack the flood. They simply have no reason to attack him. (Either that or he just doesn't taste very good.)

Well I have been killed by a flood that posessed a sniper rifle from a rather far distance... I also noticed that for some odd reason they do not have eyes... just a mutalated face of their victims... hopefully they cant make head shots...
- Also,,, I've noticed that they tend to jump on top of sentinals and ride them for great distances... looked kinda fun but it didnt work when i tried it...
