Because the story was a rushed mess that had plotholes so large Godzilla could use them as a shortcut to downtown Tokyo. (i.e. Suddenly Reach has no nukes, Carter get wounded flying Pelican when the chair he's sitting in is intact, a slipspace bomb not having a -blam!- hardened timer or being mounted INSIDE the pelican)
Plus, every Noble Team member was a stereotype and 1-D. I should not have been cheering when Kat died, or laughing hysterically when Carter crashed into the Scarab for some reason.
The campaign was just one small skirmish to the next, with the largest mission Tip of the Spear, being roughly half as long as The Covenant from Halo 3, or maybe a quarter of AotCR. Your objectives for every level were essentially
A. Pressing a Button
B. Blowing up an AA gun
C. Pressing MULTIPLE buttons.
Essentially, this is the largest battle in Halo history, and it felt like a walk in the park. I honestly doubt I saw over 15 enemies on the screen at once. We didn't get an epic tank fight, hell we didn't get an ending Warthog run, which could have EASILY been done at the end of The Pillar of Autumn, or the start of Lone Wolf. New Alexandria was decent, but I wanted every level to be like it.
On a final note, why spend months working on a new engine when you're going to cover everything in dirt anyway? H3's Sierra 117 looked better than any Reach level.
TLDR: It was rushed, the story was terrabad and rushed, Noble Team was stereotypes and moronic, and the levels were all muddy, bland, and had no variety.
This. A thousand times this.
I can load up any nonFlood level in Halo CE, 2, 3 and ODST and have a blast. Reach just doesn't have that kind of fun in it's Campaign.
