Blind Effect: There is a perfect reason why MC wouldn't suddenly get up and go out to stop the flood, which is no doubt still out there. He's stranded out in Space, no one knows he's alive, so how can he just get up and go? Use his imagination? I think not!
I believe the flood speak english due to the fact that they are able to spawn from living beings, and thus maybe they somehow are able to retain some information due to it (similar to the X in Metroid Fusion, just not a complete copy like the X were able to form).
The reason some of the covenant was able to speak english was because they learned it. I believe it was in the Halo 3 Limited Edition with the art booklet where it had said that the Unggoy (grunts) took pride in their ability to speak the english language. But I'm sure the novels probably delve deeper into detail.
Sarge lived because he's the token african american. Bungie was too lazy to make up a new one (also they may not have thought Halo 1 would be so successful), so they just used him.
The halo rings aren't obsolete as there's still flood, and who says there isn't some other force out there who would want to fire the rings as a weapon, and not knowing the true power they hold? All it takes is "Bad Guy A" to come along, threaten he'll fire the ring in order to attain some great power and bam, halo's aren't so obsolete anymore. Also, flood still exist, and possibly other of those orb thingys (forgot the name of the one who kept trying to fire the first ring), so they are probably waiting for another reclaimer to set foot on their halo to fire it.
Most of that is just my hypothesis though... Bungie isn't very creative (past Halo 1) so it's probably along those lines. Blind Effect, you should just give up as you just blurt out things without any reasoning behind them. Give valid points or facts, and then maybe we will consider them, mkay? Good.
