ODST was an AMUZING story. with an additional side-story but i didnt really pay attention to tat but guess wut? i didnt need 2! Halo 3 was good i thought, but yes not as good as earlier titles.
Reach was crap. Period. It was all about gameplay and none about story. Too much focus on having a sniping level, space level, vehicle level, etc without including them in the story. It was just - go do this. kill these people. turn this switch off.
ODSt featured some of the most unlikable characters in a video game. I didn't care about Buck and Dare's contrived romance. The Rookie was a mute; a clastic sedimentary rock has more personality than him just because of the fact we know where those come from. Reach's characters were utterly forgettable as well. You've got your stereotypical badass black guy, Emile, as well as your team's resident loudmouth, Jun. And let's not forget Kat with all her technobabble.
And don't get me started on the dialogue. Jorge reacts to the Covenant presence on Reach by saying this:
"Here we go."
Seriously, that line makes Keyes' "To war" one-liner in H3 look like Shakespeare.
Apparently, the UNSC and the Covenant also seem to have gone back to using mass charges as their strategy, as evidenced by the intro cutscene for "Tip of the Spear. A clear demonstration of Bungie's complete ignorance to modern military strategy. Would it have been so hard, what with Halo being a big-budget game, to hire a military consultant like Treyarch/IW have done in the past in order to avoid making blunders like that?
I could go on and on, but I won't
Jorge was saying "here we go" about the fight, not the Covenant being there -.-
Actually it is you who has no understanding of how the military functions, sometimes a "Zurg Rush" is the best strategy, and the UNSC was moving out for their different assaults on the different Covenant positions, in case you didn't notice when Kat drives off onto the bridge the rest of the army is dividing up too.
