The Flood aren't smarter than the Xeno's. Just throwing that out there. The Flood don't use tactics like the Xeno's do. That being said though, if the Flood can infect the Xeno's, then they'll lose. If they can't, they're still outnumbered, and the Flood also use weapons. Plus, unless the body is destroyed, defeated Flood can come back yet again.
