I agree with Cody on 2 things 100%: isnotcanon & Halo 2 SMG. (Destiny)

I found both ODST and Reach a refreshing shift from focusing on Master Chief's superheroic feats. The former was certainly fun, but I liked the smaller, weaker characters in grittier, more realistic environments. The Reach story didn't always succeed but it had a hard job--developing multiple new characters and relationships in one game (that didn't lean on previously established Firefly characters). Reach's story shined brightest in its setting and tone, and in those areas it succeeded wonderfully. It's a different kind of Halo game, and I, for one, was ready for it. Not to everyone's taste, but Reach was a savory dish compared the hot fudge sundae that was Halo 3.
