The infection process is brutal:
A Combat Form is not a natural organism, but rather a mutated host infected by parasitic Flood Super Cells implanted by an Infection Form. Successful creation of a Combat Form requires a host with sufficient biomass and calcium store, and an infection form to infect the host. After mutation begins, the infection form attaches with one of its tentacles, which it uses to establish a neural connection that allows it to command the host's nervous system, thus rendering command of the legs and arms useless. During the infection process, the host's internal organs are liquefied and the nutrients from them are used to develop the tentacles and other appendages.
A host stays alive during and after the transformation process and can be conscious and aware even after the final transformation. The victim is kept alive after infection so that more of the host can be consumed by the Infection Form. This process is presumably very painful and terrifying. Once fully transformed, the Infection Form has total control over the host's body and changes the physical appearance of the host to better suit its own needs (although an infected host will be roughly the same size as it was before). On rare occasions, this effect may be weakened by time in stasis, allowing the host to regain some control, as in the case of Private First Class Wallace Jenkins.[2] Combat Forms retain the host's previous attributes, therefore they can wield weapons, and drive and board enemy vehicles. However, Infection Forms do not require their hosts to still be alive for infection. Even dead hosts are suitable for conversion into a Combat Form, reanimating them after infecting them; though the brain tissue remains dead, the victim's biomass and calcium reserves are sufficient to warrant infection.

So all in all, the flood aren't similar to necromorphs at all.
Another difference is the flood's only purpose is to consume all sentient life.

The flood don't kill their victims, they burrow into their chest and attach to their central nervous system. The flood combat forms are actually more of a vehicle then a creature, as you can't kill the body, only the infection form inside.
π: 0 β©: 1
So you can revive people from the flood?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not necessarily as all control is lost. The gravemind (the hive mind that controls the flood) absorbs all the knowledge experience and memories of it's victim. So basically, as said, they use the host as a vehicle. It's not even it's own living thing anymore.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, okay that kind of sucks for whoever gets infected. So you mean they can see what's going on while the flood are possessing them?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, they can see the mutations and they'll slowly start to lose their memories as all this is happening. Eventually they are pretty much life less husks. And if the infection form is old (Like the one that infected Jenkins) it's possible you'll still think and be able to see what's going on with no control over it.
π: 0 β©: 2
So the flood and the husks from Mass Effect ar nearly the same?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes.
π: 0 β©: 0
THAT SUCKS! I'd rather just get killed, man. It's way easier. Do they become like, immortal?

Except in that video he was turning into a proto-gravemind, the precursor to a gravemind.

turning into a gravemind. harsh, but awesome.

Sort of, for a view of what happens, watch this video

This is someone losing their memories. He was a captain in the UNSC and got infected, this is what happens.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow. That's not cool at all. How was he surviving so long?
π: 0 β©: 3
He was trying to resist it.
let me explain to you the horrifying infection process of becoming a combat form (most flood are combat forms, then there are carrier, and infection forms)
The infection form penetrates your skin with it's tentacles. It then burrows itself into you and attaches it's tentacles to your spine. It takes control of your central nervous system making you unable to control your arms or legs. It liquifies your organs and uses their nutrients to grow out tentacles.
It pushes your head out of the way to make room for itself.
It send your memories and thoughts to the gravemind, after which they are no longer available to you.
You start to mutate, forming tentacles, your appearance is changed based on the needs of the infection form.
And you are awake and alive through all of this. Sometimes the host survives even after becoming a combat form fully.

He wasn't "alive" persay, his memories were being drained so he was conscious. If you're up for a bit of a horrifying read this is exactly what the flood infection form does when it attacks a normal person to turn into a combat form.

Dude. How do you know all this stuff? What should I read?
π: 0 β©: 1
Pretty much I just own the whole series, read the wiki, read the books, read the comments on the developer's official website on the subject.
I'm just a huge fan of halo.
Basically you need to know this:
-It climbs and burrows into your chest
-It attaches to your spine, controlling your central nervous system and thus rendering your arms and legs useless
-It turns your internal organs into a liquid it forms the tentacles out of
-You can survive through the entire mutation because the infection form keeps you alive
-It mutates your appearance
-All of your memories are slowly transferred to the gravemind
-You can't do anything to stop it, you can only "watch" your actions
