the flood knew what they were doing in halo CE. we know this because
1. they were repairing the Truth and Reconsiliaton
2. they knew someone would attempt to reclaim the key, so they camped out the library in anticipation of someone trying to take it.
3. they attacked the POA and instead of simply overunning the covenant there, they protected strongpoints throughtout the ruins.
but gravemind was on another halo. who could have been controlling them there? or how about the flood on the station floating around the planet next to the origional halo?
again, the flood must be maintained...like a weapon, right?
Think of the flood kind of like the "borg" until that whole "queen borg" deal.
They are a collective. They become more complex as they infect more things. They eventually form something along the lines of "gravemind" that can speak and such. Something "may" be controling the flood. But my guess is that the flood themsevles uses the memories of their carriers to become smarter, more complex. Giving them the ability to make repairs, think, plan, plot.
The other part of my theory is that the flood are a weapon, found by the forerunners, attempted to be harnessed, and failed. Hence they built the rings, hence they fired them, hence we are playing Halo.
Dang it Bungie, if this is the last game you better puplish the Halo Bible. I'd buy it even if it was as much as a 360. That thing has to be the best book EVAR.
i think the flood are in constant communication with gravemind through some link and take orders from him.
