honestly i loved reach beyond the previous and later titles, it let you feel the dread that no matter how many bullets or billions of human live's were lost that they could only slow the covenant. you actually feel for noble team as they start falling in the line of duty knowing that their best isn't good enough but keep on pushing. and as for 6's death it was how anyone would want to go out, surrounded by the bodies of your enemy and only their best able to finish you. all the hate for this game is misplaced as bungie poured their hearts into their last act into the franchise and microsoft refusing to let it end on a high note. if your starting the franchise than you NEED to play this to understand just how close the covenant came to winning
