I hope the put the juggernaught in the game, it looked like it would be fun to fight. Also grunts and jackals make up carrier forms, they are to weak for combat forms. Hunters cant be made into anything because they are a bunch of small worms that link together to make a big think known as a hunter.

Hunters cant get infected because of their anatomy, they are made up of lots of worms or something like that. And there are already grunt flood, those are the carrier Flood, the ones that incubate the small ones, I think the Jackals become these, too.

The theory that grunts and jackals are what make up the Carrier forms are speculations on the parts of the marines at Alpha Base in the book The Flood. Whether or not this is the whole story or not, we don't know. However, if you look at the in game models, the legs of the carrier forms are much longer than those of grunts or jackals. I think it is more likely that a Carrier form is created from a combat form that "consumes" one or more grunts and/or jackals (or anything to gain extra biomass), around which the new infection forms are created.

The Flood infect beings by "rewiring" their nervous system. Hunters are describe as "collectives of worm-like organisms united under a common consciousness" (taken frmo the official Halo 2 strategy guide), they most likely do not have the type of nervous system that would allow for them to be infected by the Flood. Brutes might have a decent chance of getting infected, but since we didn't see them in Halo 2 (and there wasn't really a specific reason not to, as far as I know), I don't think we'll see them in Halo 3.

Other new forms might be entirely possible, however.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

i think i mentioned this before but flood don't become infected, even though there are tons of brute bodies around the delta halo library and loads of infection forms. perhaps this was the reason for the changing of the covenant guard...
