Yeah so uh, the Campaign for Reach is pretty awesome in fact it's beyond awesome. It's like playing Halo on a new console/system. The graphics and character models are totally updated and Reach feels like a proper planet.
Multiplayer is a little bit annoying as you can't choose to avoid certain game types, I'll explain why.
You queue for Team Slayer and what then happens is your group of 8 players are offered 1 of 3 random maps (or 3 of the same) and 3 different game types. (Sword Slayer, Sniper, SWAT, DMR - etc etc) Now the really annoying thing here is that if 4 of the group vote the SWAT game then that's it, you're playing that with no option to leave the group.
Halo 3 at least let you avoid the game types you hated or were not good at. This silly system forces you to play game variants that you're perhaps have no interest in playing. (I f I want to player Counterstrike... Guess what... I'll play Counterstrike!) - It's annoying this is a main map type. I'm more of a run and gun/in your face type player. Ranged shooting is not my strong point and it really pisses me off when I am forced to play a game variant I hate. On the flip side, the Big Team Battles are fun. I just played 1 flag and 2 flag on Hemorrhage, (Blood Gulch) capping 3 flags myself. (I loooooove flag running and assisting with vehicle driving) fun to do, but each one of them I ran myself via the teleporter then cross field.. Yup you still get groups of idiots who don't know how to support!

I was going to buy it today until my brother described it as an ingenius piece of crap.
Then again, he loved Taken, the poor-man's Payback. Silly me
I've just got Reach today too and am loving the campaign. I never start the multiplayer until I have completed the campaign. Kind of like a reward.
But is it really that bad. I never liked the Halo 3 multiplayer and the vidocs looked amazing but is it terrible in practice?
I'll need to wait and see.
Actually after a bit more hard time put into it today it's really quite good. You can rack up the EXP even when you don't win if you just play really well. I'm in love the assasination melee kills!
I've already completed the campaign on Heroic when it comes to doing Legendary i'll probably do it with a friend or 2 taking turns, or jus do it on co-op. I felt really sad at the end of the story, the Covenant are scum!
