Tyrant: A thing for you to put in your guide.
One thing I've learned about The Hive is this. All the bodies you leave laying around at the end of Hive I, will be Flood at Hive II. Now, one thing I've learned, is after Hive I, if you move around the remaining bodies, making sure they're clear of weapons within reasonable radius, they will be weaponless when they spawn. This should get rid of some of the Mauler Flood, and a Sword Flood when you take your second trip through the Hive, I've learned.
They work like this: When they regenerate as Flood, they automatically are wielding the weapon closest to them. If you separate them from weapons, they, theoretically (and in my own practice) will not have a weapon. Somewhat like how if you separate Johnson or the Arbiter from their weapons, they will regenerate without them. (In their case, with their default weapons, but you get it.)
EDIT: My patience and persistence has rewarded me. I successfully rescued Cortana from the dreaded hive, and made it out alive.
