Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Keyes is important to the Flood. Have you read the books? He is a brilliant tactical commander, so if the Flood ever got the T and R back in the air, they could use his brilliance to help fight other ships and find Earth. The other marines just aren't smart enough to be turned into the "BRAIN".

Also while a flood was probing his mind it ran across earth and i guess the flood knew he was important and turned him into an ugly piece of -Blam!

They wanted to use Keye's mind to steer the cruiser and fight off any enemies whilst in space. Also, he knows where Earth is. So the Flood was going to use Keyes to get there.

From the books, I took it that they were trying to learn the location of Earth from his mind, and knew he was a leader, and therefore must be superior to the "lesser" humans, therefore they offer him special treatment.

Easy, the captian was resisting the flood's mind probe and as he resisted, they mutated him to try to get the info from him

They don't 'eat' them.They take control of there bodies because they're a parasite.And they don't take just humans.They take over any type of sentient life forms.
