AFK: Away from Kontroller. Don't do it or you'll get the living crap smacked out of you by the Banhammer. If you disagree with any of this, you are just bad at Mortal Kombat.

Halo 1 through 3 were a main trilogy. Things of course changed from game to game but the general concepts of utility weapons being mighty, bleedthrough, and the golden triangle all stayed the same.
Reach is a spinoff from the main trilogy. It did not follow the story of anything we knew of yet, Bungie made it without being chained down into their own corner. It is a side game from the real deal. Somewhat to introduce new concepts into Halo and give them a trial run so they can be perfected in later Halos, and somewhat to originally help Bungie in their future endeavors.
True CLASSIC Halo gameplay is indeed the trilogy of the series, it was what it was known for. Reach shook it up, but just because Halo 3 isn't more populated than Reach doesn't make Reach any less of a side Halo thing.
We may yet again see the real classic gameplay return to us for Halo 4 and it's trilogy. Maybe not. I doubt we will see classic in it's form of 1-3, but rest assured there will be no shakeups as big as Reach after Halo 4, since that will be a trilogy.
Do you all get it now?
Reach being a spinoff is no excuse for offering garbage settings to players.
It's a prequel btw just so you know.
