When a planet is glassed, it is when the Covenant bombards the planet with super-heated plasma. Plasma is heated to about 4,000,000 degrees F. So...when something that hot strikes the ground, the ground is instantly turned into molten rock. When that cools, it forms a black, ashy glass.
When a planet is glassed, it also completely whipes out the planet's atmosphere. When that happens, the planet becomes inhabitable.

In Halo Wiki it says most of Reach got glassed but not all of it and it also says there was forerunner tech on it that the Covenant were aware of.
I speculate Halo Reach will be narrated by Master Chief as if he's dreaming and revisiting old memories of what had happened. Halo Reach will serve as a first in a new trilogy. Maybe Chief will awake to a new enemy recovering something from Reach. There's gotta be a reason why the portal sent them there.
Not this again. Look, the planet in the Legendary ending HAS NOT been confirmmed as Reach. And the portal DID NOT send them there for a reason. The portal just had to closed on them before they could reach earth, leaving them stranded
