I liked the Halo 1 flood. There was a rhythm to them, the way the carrier forms worked both with you and against you.
The Halo 2 flood were okay. Moderately stronger than 1, but the only way to put them down for good was to waste ammo or carry a sword. The inclusion of shields on Elite combat forms was interesting, but ultimately it didn't change much.The ability for precision weapons to get "headshots" by killing the infection form inside the combat form was a nice touch.
Unfortunately, there were hardly any carrier forms, and they didn't work like the did in 1. You hardly ever fought more than half a dozen combat forms at a time, so they lost the "swarm" feel as well.
The Halo 3 flood were too weak. I don't get why melee is suddenly the best thing instead of the worst either. The pure forms were okay, but I would have liked to see the "Juggernaut" that never made it into 2 instead.
I'd say make them more like Halo 1 (swarms), or go for something we haven't seen yet.
