For me it really depends on if I have any skulls going. If sputnik is active it can make life alot easier in what were normally tougher spots. The reverse is exactly true for other spots, harder with sputnik on. On average, skulls or no, I find the flood levels a much bigger pain in the arse. The floods melee in this version is alot more wicked, the popcorn flood are not as easy to dispatch in swarms (since they do not follow as in CE, where you could back up and melee them in droves......POP POP POP POP POP with one melee). Thunderstorm makes all the covie levels tougher, but does not affect flood in any way. If grunt birthday party, catch and sputnik are active, well, the whole game becomes pretty much one chain length explosion (I did not mean that to sound like a bad thing!)
All in all, that elevator ride down with the flood drives me bonkers, especially with sputnik and on legendary. There are a few spots you can jump off, down a bit and let the elevator do its thing while you hide, but its a biotch to get the jumps right and the flood end up finding you anyway. I hate that part of the level, no if's and's or but's.
