This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Apparently they didn't have enough calcium to be transformed into a combat form. They were just used as biomass for the gravemind or part of the carrier forms.
Halo Wars changed that, though. I guess it would show an evolution on the Floods part to be able to use lesser forms in combat roles.
No, I think grunts and Jackals always could be used as combat forms.
In Halo Wars however, those flood were feral even more then the 04 ones, and had infected all the normal animal life. So they pretty much took everything they could for combat forms.
I remember somewhere saying the reason why Grunts and Jackals weren´t used as combat forms... I think it was in the Halo 3 Bestiarium. Not sure, though.
