Well because it adds an "anomily" to the game doesn't it...
Humans vs Covernant, war war war bang bang bang, etc.. THEN you get the Flood and they disrupt and scare both combatents.. So now both the Covernant and Humans have a major disadvantage...
If the covernant are weakened by the flood then the humans can attack them and take advantage of this weakness and vise versar...
Without The Flood the game would be boring. Besides the Flood add a kind of "scariness" to the game..
After spending a long time in Library fighting off whoards of Flood THEN getting to the surface of Halo again you feel relieved to see the Covernant again! Lol (well i do anyhoo)
