Well as Joseph Staten himself said, "Newer games, if conflicting with the previous canon, become the currently established canon."

 Anyway, why are you guys so stressed out over that tiniest of details? Has there ever been a moment in Halo lore where a passage or person has said "Flood forms don't need brains"?

 Find that moment for me and I'll understand.

Higher-level species capable of combat, such as Humans, Jiralhanae, or Sangheili are selectively infected to become Combat Forms. Combat Forms retain the general profile of their original species, although they are significantly mutated. Organ-based systems' physiology are corrupted, organ-specific functions are decentralized, and body cavities are decayed, making hitbox-selective incapacitation impossible; organ functions are decentralized, thus, decapitation does not down a combat form. Furthermore, highly area-specific munitions, such as sniper rifle projectiles, are completely ineffective, as picking off selective areas of a combat form leads to no wide-scale physiological impediments, and the projectile will punch through the decayed flesh rapidly, exiting through the other side of the combat form without consequence. - http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Flood
