Reach was awful. Everything you can fault destiny for has its embryo in that game. Endlessly recycled content, flat dialog, bad writing, a lack of plot, pretense substituting for content, shoehorned MMO grinds, a static sandbox, its all there. Now that's not to question you [i]liking it[/i] more than any other in the series, but as a functional entity its the [b]most [/b]questionable (which brings up the question of what you're not finding in the more competent Halos).
