Halo Reach is a game I'd say is overall really good, especially in terms of it's narrative. I think Reach does a better job creating a new cast for me to care about than ODST did and made a more enjoyable experience for me as well. I now get why "Objective : Survive" haunts many.

My biggest gripe with this game is this out of nowhere section in "Long Night of Solace" where you're made to pilot a ship to fight other ships but it felt really one sided and there was only one checkpoint in the whole bit which was before the tutorial which made dying a hassle (some friends have said there should be more so that might be a MCC glitch)

Overall, it's a good game. I like Halo 2 and 3 more but this is still a great experience overall.
