Not in Halo 1, though... no yet. :o

Yah I was talking bout Halo 1.

The only flood in H1 that could scale walls were the infection forms. I mean I want to see some flood crawling upside down in the tunnels at me. (I have weird tastes I know)

oh jackals cant be infected can they? haha lil bastards anyways. rofl maybe its infected brutes.

Brutes can't be infected because their fur is too thick for the flood to penetrate it.

I think Bungie's just making these excuses because they don't want to design more flood forms.....

Probably. I am sticking to the excuse that brutes don't have enough brain matter/intelligence to infect.

If the Flood can penetrate the Chief's air-sealed space worthy armor, I'm sure they'd have no problem going through gorilla hair. :p
Even though in First Strike they described the Brutes as having very thick, tough hides, I have no doubt the Flood could pierce that, also.

They can infect swamp plants but they can't utilize the mental capacity of self-aware beings capable of speech, social interaction, comprehending the concept of religion and spirituality, and the ability to learn how to proficiently operate and manufacture space-age equipment?

Yah I always wondered why the infections forms could hurt chief......sure its just for the gameplay but still....

That's also a tidbit from the books. The Infection form uses its probiscus to pierce the armor's undersuit between the joints in the metal plates.

Cortana fried the infection form before it could do any real damage using the Master Chief's shields.

And the plants aren't infected, they are just meant to look that way to scare you. If you play the level "Gravemind," you'll notice that those same plants look that way even before the Flood board and capture the city.

And anyway what would the flood do with an infected plant anyway?
