Just starting a post to say that currently Flood is my least favourite gametype for the following reasons.
*Lag- Across the board in any online gaming, but here, wehn a Flood has a thruster pack, you might as well turn the shotty on yourself and save to Flood the trouble of infecting you. Leads on to my second reason.
*Thruster pack- Very good idea for the flood but at this point in time, it’s overpowered for both sides because
a) one wrong touch and if you’re a flood you go into orbit…or off a cliff!
b)the rather annoying fact that a flood can melee while still thruster packing, leading to a lot of situations where you kill them, then they basically get back up for a second, stab you, then fall down again… 
c)As mentioned above, not good when lag is also present
I think if the thrust form the ability is toned down probably by a 1/3, making it still more powerful than the regular thruster pack, would alleviate the above three issues.
- The annoying moments when you lunge, then go straight past a spartan, but not too worried about this, it is one of those odd situations after all.
*Magnum- not fussy if this is kept as it is, but a three shot kill perhaps, two for the shields, one for the head?
*No sprint for zombies- again not fussy if this doesn’t happen, but how about sprint/unlmited sprint for zombies in place of the thruster pack?
It’s a great gametype 343, much better than Reach’s Alpha zombies/infection, since the flood don’t get slaughtered quite as much as in reach. Mostly its just the thruster pack that needs to be toned down a little bit, although I wouldn’t say no to a solution to lag!
Thanks 343i
