Most of us wanted to see a spartan 3 group in action. However with Reach, we got to see them. Was it up to expecations for a spartan 3 group? I thought Noble team was ok, but i think they could of done better introducing the spartan 3's. What's your opinion on that?

I was more expecting abit more hardcore spartans or such since i know the spartan 3's weren't expected to last long.

It was Reach, most of the Spartan-IIs died, I'm just surprised Noble lasted as long as they did in the past and at Reach.

Honestly, unless one had read Ghosts of Onyx (and a tiny bit EU canon savvy), the fact that one plays as a Spartan III in a squad of SIIIs plus Jorge who is an SII would have been completely lost on the player. There is no point in the game itself where it makes it known that you're an SIII except in the rare instances where Jorge would say "you IIIs sure get a nice set of armor" or something like that.

In that sense I was rather disappointment that the first in-game introduction of SIIIs was essentially non-existent. It's either you know before hand or you don't.

Now being aware of Noble being IIIs I was content with them being relatively on par with the IIs with MJOLNIR and what they can accomplish and their roles outside of in-game sections where their AI is horrible. However, the lack of characterization for all of them leaves much to be desired in terms of wanting a reason to care that they live or die.
