By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

And, of course, let's not forget the fantastic cutscenes and the development and death of whom is probably the most beloved character in the game, Jorge.
That's because Jorge is the ONLY character in the game that ever gets any development, and even then he's not only a copypasta of Kurt from Ghosts of Onyx (which just ruins the theme of Kurt being a unique Spartan for his sociability and the way he relates to others) but he's killed half way through the game leaving us with the rest of those indomitably sterile -blam!-s.
And even then, Jorge has absolutely no impact on the story. The only "characters" in Noble Team that have any impact on the story are Noble Six, Carter and Kat - Jun, Emile and Jorge ended up doing absolutely nothing that affected the progress of the game. They could have been left out completely and there would be absolutely no difference to the game.
Hater? Yes, I will never deny that. I detest the characters in Reach more than anything, the only one with any kind of sense is Halsey and she appears for a grand total of 5 minutes in the game to tell Carter he's an idiot and then to give Six the Cortana fragment. But blind? Absolutely not.
