IMO Halo Reach's campaign was the worst out of all of the Halo games made by Bungie.
Reach's campaign is more serious, mature and dark than the others. The main character, Noble Six, loses everyone "close" to him, witnesses his world burn around him, and eventually dies in a way everyone fears; alone and having achieved an unknown purpose. In this story, you see the gravity of the Covenant invasion unlike the other games. The story isn't perfect, but it's one of the better ones out there.
Halo 2 and 3 had a lighter tone; more cliche characters/scenes, more cartoonish graphics, etc. While Master Chief is an iconic character, it is be argued that he is a cliche, run of the mill action character where there hasn't been much character development for him in the three games. The biggest let down for me was that almost all of the enemy species spoke English; breaking the fourth wall and ultimately ruining the suspension of disbelief. Because of that, I can't take those campaigns seriously.
I find it laughable that most of the people are saying Reach is the worst without saying anything sufficient to back that up. It's like the cool thing to say lolreach on these forums. While its gameplay has flaws, it doesn't mean that its story is going to suck because of that. Stop being so damn impressionable you kids. Just like the campaigns of the other games, I can't take the Reach forum seriously.

of all bungie games, Reachs was my least favorite campaign. that doesnt mean i didnt like it! its very great, but it could of had lots of improvements. the introduction to space battles was short-lived. Kats death was random and seemed lazily thought of. The story behind the Zealots was left wide open, you fight them, they get away, Hasely tells you their purpose, you kill one, they kill almost everyone, you kill the rest of them. theres much more
