No I think the flood arent going to be in Halo Reach because im pretty sure Reach taskes play before Halo 1, Before the covenant unlock one of the halo rings releasing the flood. Im not positive on this one so dont nag me about it. BTW, I just found this off of the timeline thing on the website.The Flood aren't just on the Halo rings. Check out Halo Wars, Halo 2, and the Halo Graphic Novel. The Covenant encountered the Flood before Halo 1 as the Prophet in HGN tells Halfjaw he should not have been clueless as to their existence since he should have studied them.
Just because something wasn't in H1 doesn't mean it didn't exist before then. Remember, the supplies there (ESPECIALLY human) were very limited due the PoA losing numerous weapons lockers during the Battle of Reach... and also since it was the only ship to supply you, whereas you had planets to do so in Halo 2, 3 and ODST.
The Flood were encountered by humans before H1, in the 2530s, by those aboard the Spirit of Fire. They were lost in space so they didn't report the incident. The same could happen with whoever we play as in Halo REACH: they get split up from the UNSC and go into deep space or into some relic which disallows communication.
Not that it even matters. The message of the Flood would have taken a month to reach Halo, so it would not have made it there before the Chief found them.
Flood in Halo REACH will NOT interfere with the canon in any way whatsoever.
