Since the Flood WILL BE BACK, how will the marines be better prepared against them? Will Johnson show the video of the attack/discovery, and tell the other's how easy it is to kill them? I don't want no marines dying over simple little popcorn bugs or not shooting the combat forms. People would be scared, having it showing Johnson being attacked by the flood, and people think he's dead, but he tells them he has a disease called Boren's Syndrome.

I don't want to lose a lot of men on easy/normal, after experiencing one flood type. (I always play on Easy/Normal first, to get an idea of the levels, and where to go, and memorize when the enemies pop out and what they do.) They better kick two races ass, the flood and the coveis. They're only good at covies, but very poor against the flood.

I imagine since they work better as a team and have improved AI they will stand a much better chance. They will still get the crap beaten out of them if the flood have numbers that are the same or more than the marines, though.

But seeing as how they can order air strikes and take cover behind a vehicle, they will probably also fight smarter.

When I play it through the marines can hold their own against the combat forms, beat them down right and proper they do. The smaller infection forms are what get them. I try and have an assault rifle handy for that run through the swamp and it really is effective on marine survivability, particularly in that "choke point" between the two hills just before you hit the water.
