I don't understand this, why aren't the Hunters able to talk, but the Flood are? I mean, the Hunters are Covenant, all Covenant speak, and its been said, that their Political Status amongst the Covenant is unknown, and after they join you in Halo 2, they immediatly betray you in Halo 3 and join the Covenant once more, I don't understand these few questions?

The CE Hunters do not talk, but they do laugh (when they kill you) and make other noises that lead me to think that they do have some worm bundle that serves as a voice box type of organ.

The flood do not talk that I am aware of, but they do make noises. Most of them are gurgling or fluid type leaking noises, but they do make sounds. Remember that they are originally either human or covenant, so the infected bodies did originally have the capacity for speech.

I have not seen or played 3 yet, but I would wager that people prefer to kill the hunters in game play, rather than have them on their side. The switch back was probably made to keep them as foes, rather than allies.

In Halo 3, a Flood speaks to you and says "Our master wishes to help you" (Gravemind)

All my opinion.

Gravemind speaks through the Flood, and the Hunters make a low rumble sound.

"You feel it more than you hear it." So, the Flood cannot speak for themselves, and the Hunters speak in their own language.

To play or not to play....

Actually they do communicate in some way. If you kill one of a pair of Hunters the other one will scream out something resembiling "Noooo..."....

Its said Freak, not Frak! or you can call me Charlie.

well the hunters are worms, a bunch of worms (read it somewhere on a forum on bungie) so i guess ebcause they are a bunch of words they cant speak, clearly or loudly
