Okay, well, here's what I was thinking: Forerunner weapons designed to either harness the flood and use it to their advantage, or weapons designed to combat the flood. This way, we could have a whole new faction of weapons, like the brute themed weapons we were given in Halo 3 (spiker, mauler).
One idea I had that would use the flood would be a grenade or piece of equipment that was a small capsule that contained the small, onion-like infection forms (one or multiple), and it might be able to be used in multiplayer. When thrown at an enemy, the infection form automatically infects the player and they are now an AI that will fight for your team (probably best for campaign).
Weapons that were designed to combat the flood would probably be beam-based weapons like the sentinel beam, or specially designed weapons specifically honed to weaken combat forms, pure forms, carrier forms, etc., that also would work in multiplayer. For example, a weapon to fight carrier forms might be an explosion suppressor, and you could shoot this weapon at grenades before they explode to destroy/minimize the blast. Just spitballing - I know these are some pretty radical ideas. Feel free to expand and add on them.
