Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:
“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Agreed, that's a part of what makes Halo 1 so much better than Halo 2 and 3.
Yes, all the "Yeehaw!"s, "Roadkill!"s... I mean the game couldn't be more serious.
But seriously, the game was never the same tone as the books. While I would love them to be so, another Halo game is also fine. ODST had the right blend of serious and comedic though. Walking around as the Rookie was downright tense.
