Reach’s campaign not only had an enticing campaign, with twists and new challenges. The graphical representation was phenomenal i.e. the landscape of Reach and the weird animals and/or inhabitants. The commendations had me playing (farming) for a good while, which I actually found very enjoyable. Aside from Halo 2, Halo Reach stole 2nd place for Best Halo Campaign, in my book.
Reach’s campaign was mediocre to many due to its drift away from the canon at the time and the lack of character build. In Halo (for me at least) characters would leave an impact, in reach, none but Noble 6 placed that, and even then it was because of the amazin armor customization in the cutscenes and such. I love Halo reach though.
Still better than 5 in my opinion.
Reach is easily my favorite Halo game. Mostly because of its dark atmosphere that makes other games in the series look like sunshine and rainbows in comparison. Though i heard a lot of people hated Reach because of that. Tip of the Spear, Long Night of Solace, Exodus and New Alexandria all rank high in my all time favorite Halo missions.
The Reach campaign was AWESOME. It was way better than Halo 5’s campaign.
