CE is the only game in the series where I would actually enjoy fighting the Flood rather than avoid them. They were fun to fight because they felt like crazy zombies with just basic instincts, which is what the Flood is supposed to be.
I remember being bum rushed on levels like Two Betrayals and Keyes by dozens of Flood at almost every checkpoint, and it was a crazy fun experience. (anyone remember the clusterfk second chasm on Two betrayals? lol)
In H2/3 the Flood felt more tacticle. Instead of large groups of Flood running at you at once it was more of small groups using basic strategies, which kind of killed the whole "zombie" feel from CE.
Also I didn't like the fact that the Flood bodies in H2/3 did't fly around from grenades..... instead they just popped :(
Thoughts?

I did like the Flood in CE, every time one charged at you if you didn't have a shotgun/plasma rifle/pistol you'd just scream "OH SHIIIIII-" before experiencing a death of painful proportions. On the other hand, I'd like to see the Flood at its full might, like the ones the Forerunners encountered during their war. A full-scale Flood invasion would be awesome to be in the middle of.[/quote] Thats not what the Forerunners said... Haha
