The existence of Flood does not instantly make a game M or T. The reason that the Flood were rated so harshly was the dismemberment. ESRB rules make it so any gore or dismemberment causes a game's rating to go up. The first Halo was relatively tame, as it had little swearing and the like, outside of the Flood. The later games, however, have garnered enough content to make them M, including more realistic depictions of blood and a much larger dose of language. Most of use here on these forums would not care about the rating but, for the ESRB and many in the world at large, these minor distinctions do count.
