If Bungie actually says 2 is the worst, they haven't spent much time on Reach.
Dual wielding, boarding, Ghost boost, vehicle damage, reliable grenade jumping, exploration, weapon swapping, formidable Brutes, long levels...middle child gives so much...yet no one appreciates... Reach was the ultimate middle finger from Bungie.
Grenade jumps were crippled, dual wielding was only given to enemies (and they were already op, god...), boost was overused for most Covie vehicles (at least in H3, not every Covie vehicle had boost. The Prowler sucked but it had good traction), vehicles were made out of paper, exploration was killed thanks to 10 second countdowns, weapon swapping was so slow, the Brutes were even more uninteresting than they were in H3 and H2, the levels were short or only long because of bs scripting and cinematics.
And of course, every AI lacks empathy, and I'm not just talking about their lack of English. The AI will make stupid mistakes or bs actions and get away with it every time.
Reach killed immersion. H2 had far better immersion despite the decreased fov and draw distance.
