I think ICEMAN ASSASS1N made a good point about how chief can't save us all this time, but there is one way to survive the flood (other than activating the rings and/or shooting them all). In the book Halo: First Strike it tells that humans can become resistant to the flood, but only if they develop a condition called Boren's Syndrome. it causes a disruption in the nervous system and that prevents flood from taking over a host's body. However, this condition can only be developed if a person is exposed to high amounts of radiation exhibited by plasma based weaponary. EX. grenades, which means basically you have be next to one when it goes off or carrying a crate full of them for awhile. also there is only a small chance that you would survive even after developing the syndrome. (Sergant Johnson developed this syndrome and survived, that's why he's in H2)
how come elites are constantly flooded then?
there not hittin themselves with plasma grenades everyday, and for the few elites that get close to a plasma that blows up, those elites are probably not fighting anymore
