One of my all-time favorite levels from any game. (Destiny)

Reach is damn near perfect.

Long Night of Solace more than makes up for the lack of something like the double Scarab fight in Halo 3, in my opinion. I think it's my favorite Halo level ever. Silent Cartographer beach landing, fighting into the facility, launching into space, dogfights in space, assaulting a Covenant carrier. It's got everything and the way it unfolds basically seamlessly . . . man, I'll never forget how giddy I was during that launch sequence and I realized what was happening.

The seamlessness you refer to makes me want to compare it to what people like about No Man's Sky, except Reach had a purpose. (I say this as a fan of both.)

Reach is my deserted island Halo, but I repeat myself.

EDIT: I agree it's a better game than Destiny, but Reach didn't have raids, and I've heard Bungie devs refer to Destiny 1 as Halo: CE, implying that it will mature like Halo did.
