I dunno. The only one that was really good was the CE one. Open door and then see a terrified guy who starts shooting you in a craze. It was a good way to introduce how horrifying the flood would be.

I don't know, I quite liked the Halo 3 one aswell, seeing as there's no evidence that his squad mates were actually infected (No signs of corruption on the bodies, plus the fact that they spoke to him, which Flood -generally- don't) and he may have just snapped under the pressure.
Though, I didn't particularily like the crazed marines in ODST or Reach, doesn't work as well in relation to the Covenant, I don't think.

I don't know, but I usually put them out of their misery. Its the only humane thing you can do.

The ODST one was funny as hell lol.

The intention beyond easter egg was to show that some soldiers snap under the pressure.

It's why they joke so much, to reference a quote from firefly. "panic and cry and crap your pants, or you make a joke and you try to survive."
