Oh, oh, I know!
I'd actually mobilize the ground defenses/army/marines, use the vast array of Aircraft on Reach to destroy and harrass the dropships that reached the surface, and ACTUALLY HAVE DEFENSES AROUND IMPORTANT BUILDINGS.
You know, have the ground be a fortress instead of "oh entire planet's worth of important places got overwhelmed by a few hundred dropships."
What you don't know is that Reach's entire defense force consisted of 10 ODSTS, a couple of anti-tank mines and a skyhawk, and thanks to John they all got beaten up and couldn't save Reach.
You forgot the guys who screamed horribly into comm lines, and the three marines that wandered around going "whuuut?" :P.

"Oh God, a contingent of 1500 human soldiers, including technical combat craft and fortified defenses!"

*Super Mac and fleet keeping Covenant Fleet away, point nullified*
If the Ground had actually being the Fortress Reach was supposed to be in the Book, the generators falling would've been a null issue because by the time they fell the orbital battle would've been over.
