I hope bungie makes them have some interesting tactics, but still be different from the covies...I have faith in bungie, however.

Dont get me wrong people. The flood were better than most fps cannon fodder but after fighting against the great covenant races, the flood just seemed to bore me and I tend to play the first 5 levels the most because if this. (especially AotCR hell yeah)

Regarding the flood:

in Halo 1 I'm guessing the flood had dull A.I. due how many flood you had to fight at once. If they were genius' im guessing the game would run very slow. BUT now that Halo2 uses alot less plys than Halo 1 then they could still have the same number of flood but pump up the AI and make them much more interesting.

Possible inclusions to the flood AI
1) Have the marines voice wailing and screaming to creep you out
2) Make them adapt to their hosts tactics, IE have a flood elite be very athletic and quick.
3) Have more variety, Who doesnt want to see a grunt flood form? Or a hunter flood form?
(I know what your going to say about biomass limits but the flood gathered bodies of grunts and stuff aswell in the original right? So why didnt we face a grunt form?)

the flood make the game more interesting, and if you leave them to their own mischeif, they will kill the covenant for you

The rings are actually meant to hold the Flood. They can hold more than just they Flood. But I want 343 so i can kill him but I don't want the Flood to come back.

The flood will be back it is said that "The Covenant have a long history with the flood."
Possibly some flood from the same ring you destroyed in Halo 1 get to earth bye captureing another covenant ship (besides the truth and reconciliation) and took of through slip stream space.

there were grunt forms, look at the legs of the giant, puffy, eploding ones. i don't think the flood could do anything with hunter armor

Strategy?! What, shoot them till they die? Thats my strategy! And no they weren't cool. They were -blam!-, standing around boning eachother in the ass until the Chief got there and stopped thier sick deformed orgy!

Technically, why would the Forerunner build multiple halos just to contain the same creatures?
I would think that there might be some other creatures lurking on another Halo. You never know. Besides most people agree that the Flood got boring after The Library. Of course Bungie has heard about it, why wouldn't they also put another type of creature in the game?

Ya know that's exactly what my theory was. The Flood are gone, 343 went back to a planet of Forerunner renegades that destroyed the rest of the race and they wanted to keep control of the universe, so they built Halo rings to contain any race that posed a threat to their survival. So something else is on this new Halo. At least thats MY theory.

LEGENDARY IS challenging for some ... but ... I AM NOT LEGENDARY ... I AM A MYTH!!!

I kno they are threats... even to us. but in Halo2, we are battleing on Earth, a 2nd Halo, and the Moon. by the way ther are 28 different levels... and Guilty Spark didnt die, he survived... to those you hav waited aftr the credits, ther is a final cematic scene of GS floating across n' into your screen and then blinds the screen.

The Flood made Halo's story. You can say anything you want, but without them, the game just wouldn't have been as great. The Two Betrayals came out to be one of the most memorable moments in the Halo game... and why's that? Because of the Flood. Without them, the level would not have had the dramatic, eerieness that it did. Nor would the game have had the great surprises and plot twists that came as a result of the Flood. Yeah, ok, they did get repetitive in the Library, but like I said in another post, with a few tweaks, more variety and an improved AI, the Flood would be as good as new. Better, even.
