Sound/Music: Reach.
Character devolpement: ODST.
Lets face it: ODST is the more character driven Halo in the series. Reach is the military chapter and the main trilogy is the space opera part of the series.
As for Reach not having the character development people want it to have:
It plays during a very short time, how much character development would you want to have? Come, be realistic: how much would you expect battle hardenend (probably heavily traumatized from their past) Spartan 3's to change over that time?
They are mostly emotionless killingmachines...sorry but thats how Spartans mostly are. Sure, they have emotions, but they never really showed them during ANY action in any Halo (including the books). Between battles: sure, they contemplate what they do etc, but they are no nonsense and follow their orders. You're gone, you're gone, easy as that.
At most their facial expressions would show emotions, and thats where Reach dropped the ball. Some of the death and emotional scenes should have showed the Spartans faces to at least give an impression of their emotions.
But Spartans going through character changes, and expressing emotions: no way.
