I guess people nowadays look for one thing wrong with something and ignore all the great awesomeness.
One wrong thing? Let's see, here's my list of the awesomeness vs. wrongness in Reach (note, I am only talking about single player, campaign elements here):
Good things:
Customizable Spartan for campaign
Flying around in space
Bad things:
Complete and needless destruction of previously established canon concerning Reach's destruction (and a couple other canon rewrites as well).
Bland and utterly boring teammates (a huge letdown for me after liking my ODST teammates so much)
The new story of Reach's downfall makes the UNSC look like incompetent fools (I've read someone say that Reach's falling in a day from the books makes them look bad, this makes them look way worse. This is the UNSC fortress world, which was said to have a least 100 ships in the area at all times. After the super carrier revealed itself, they couldn't take it out? 100 to 1, and they can't deal with it? Bunch of fools. At least in the book the UNSC actually puts up a fight.)
The only change was Reach falling in one day now to one month, and that isn't a bad change.
That's an opinion.
The UNSC does put up a fight. And if you payed attention at all, they decided to let Noble team take out the Super carrier rather then send in a fleet.
A sizable portion of the fleet was trashed before Kat even came up with a plan. All the ships that had nukes as part of their arsenal were destroyed, not to mention the portion that comprised whatever was put into the debris field visible in the LNoS mission. Add to that the fact that they've already sent out the call to divert 60% of the entire fleet humanity as a whole had left already, and it paints a pretty picture that whatever local fleet Reach had was in no shape to mount a head on attack in the first place let alone stand up to an actual Covenant fleet comprised of more than one ship to ship attack vessel.
What debris field? are you talking about the things floating around Anchor 9? Cause those are ship-building facilities (you can even see a Frigate being built in one of them.
The massive debris field out in space over Reach...You know, the same one you get a close up view up in the multiplayer lobby.
