Halo 2 still has the best story. But I still really like Reach. I liked Bungie's battle of Reach better than Nylunds.
I agree with this. I liked the idea of Reach falling after a month of battles, not just in less than two hours as in the novels.
I follow that camp too. It just seems like Nylund got lazy with the ending by having 314 ships Zerg Rush Reach.
My issue was this.
A: They say if the generators remained online, the line would hold due to the super-macs and having the dust cloud from the destroyed repair stations.
B: In the book, on the 30th a 'zerg rush' of phantoms and spirits got to the poles.
C: Within an hour or two, the generators are overrun. Aren't these places supposed to be the most-guarded UNSC facility (bar High-COM maybe, though I'd rather High-COM have fewer guards to ensure the generators remained running.) on Reach? How are they wiped out that damn quick when the covenant just had dropship deployed forces?
Overall, it just seems like the most defended places of Reach fell way to dang easy...
Edit: Oh, forgot, the UNSC typically had the advantage/won ground battles, which makes it even more crazy.
