Best Multiplayer console shooter, excellent story and characters, good but not great mission design
Best campaign mission design, added Forge (albeit limited), fun MP but hampered by bad netcode
Excellent characters, best Firefight, short and slightly abrupt, overpriced at launch
Great mission design, excellent sandbox, pretty basic when put up against what is to come
Great arena multiplayer despite a lack of content at launch, okay campaign, best Forge and customs
Great arena multiplayer, excellent Forge, TERRIBLE campaign and writing
Excellent Forge and customs, great story, terrible gameplay that set the wrong precedent going forward
Every fault with Reach with a worse story (albeit not abysmal), bad MP, good Forge
