Mr Yun strikes again...with a vengeance.

On why MC doesn't get infected by The Flood:

I have to agree with Robert Boggs, the Flood need to first penetrate MC's suit. Also if you check out the storyboards on the "Truth & Reconciliation" site, they depict a marine successfully removing an Infection Form Flood from another marine. Unfortunately it also pulls out the marines intestines with it!

Assuming that storyboard was accurate (maybe cut for being too gory, hard to render, or cut for length)... This sheds some light on how they infect. In seconds they can penetrate body tissue using their tentacles and entangle themselves with internal organs. MC's MJOLNIR armor would make it difficult to get at his skin quickly.

My guess is that if you could "leave the camera on" long enough after MC dies...you would see Flood penetrate his suit and infect him.

Makes sense to me.
