Someone once told me The Flood in Halo:CE couldn't go backwards. Even if you were to mod the game to play as a Combat Form, you couldn't backpedal at all.Hunters can't either, which is why CMT Spv3 was unable to implement a reverse melee.

Dem Flood with rockets...
There was no avoiding a rocket from them on Legendary in CE.
Bastards...When you were on foot or in the Banshee? I'm not going to mention the Ghost because it's not hard to avoid them in that vehicle.
The second chasm is easy if you trigger the rocket launcher Flood then flee and spam fuel rods from a distance. Also, I might be crazy saying this but maybe trying to splatter them all with the hog might work... if you get out at the right time.

I hate CE Flood. They are so boring and tedious and it feels like a chore fighting them. The limited sandbox makes it even more boring having to rely on just plasma pistols and shotguns to kill them. The pistol can't kill them as they resurrect, plasma rifles, assault rifles and needlers use up ammo, and the sniper can't even damage them, plus it takes about 10 melees to kill them.-shows no appreciation for the 3 useful Covie weapons that were way better than having multiple redundant Covie weapons
-does not use the pistol properly. Use the pistol to disarm them and make Flood buddies. The pistol can also be used to disarm rocket launcher Flood. It also has stopping power similar to H3's pistol
-plasma rifles are prevalent, assault rifles should only be used if you want a challenge, needlers shouldn't be wasted on Flood unless there's a group of them
-sniper and melee would be too cheap, although I agree the inability to kill with the sniper is a disappointment. Also, meleeing can temporarily stop a Flood from shooting or meleeing you

The Halo 3 flood are the best. They are fun because they can be killed with almost any weapon now. If I don't have a shotgun or a sword I can fall back on melee which kills them in a couple of hits, unlike the previous 2 gamesThe nerfed AI makes them boring. Create half Flood and you'll see how terrible the Flood AI have become. If they were going to nerf the damage, they should have improved the AI but instead, they made them like Jackal snipers: slow, dumb-witted, slow trigger finger. Flood are no longer scary or dangerous. They're just annoying.
Also, when you have bad Flood (unresponsive, slow, easily killed, small numbers) and levels with only bad Flood (that includes damage sponge Pure Forms), that results in a boring, frustrating mission. Even The Library was more interesting due to the fact that you could glitch it, skip parts, and use the AI to help you with certain things (Flood buddies, carrier forms). The simple fact is that Gravemind moments are evil and without speedrunning, using equipment is the only way to get past Cortana. In CE, all I needed was a gun, any gun could do (except for needler and sniper).
