I even brought out my Original Xbox. And now my question is:

What is the most effective way to combat the Flood on higher difficulties? I am currently on the level "The Library" and I am having one hard time trying to kill the Combat Forms.

Ya this

don't use the AR, it's one of the worst. The flood Onslaught challenge with no restricions on Legendary is easier than normal with just the AR. If you can't find a shotty, use PP or Needler.

Shotgun for close encounters and the M6-D for longer range. You can easily substitute the needer for the handgun though. I think it works better against ranged flood combats.
The library gets repetitious real quick.

Pretty much this.

Also, when you get stuck in the "airlock" set of doors, you can just hide in the corner instead of fighting the whole time. Just 'nade the Flood when they rush out to attack the Sentinels.

Agreed.

Your best plan is the old 'trigger, backtrack, pick-off, repeat'.
