You say tomato; I say potato.
The following are simply hopes of a fan:
I don't think the Flood will make an appearance in this game or any to come after Reach. I think Bungie will still hold to the science fiction angle rather than a combat simulator, so we should expect to meet a new villain or villains. That does not necessarily mean new species or anything like that, but maybe some Forerunner influence.
Remember in Halo CE how the villain was the Halo itself, a weapon left unchecked. Then, in Halo 2 and 3, Bungie put thinking characters(Truth, Gravemind) in the place of cold, mechanical weapons.
I am sure we will be fighting some covenant to try to save Reach initially, but in the long run of the game (and perhaps even a saga) I am willing to bet that there will be a new object that will develop into the introduction of a great villain or threat. Let's take those crystals in The First Strike for example. Could these crystals be the key to building more Halo installations or something similar? Attempting to destroy a technology before the villain could use it to destroy us could be a repeated theme.
