The Halo 1 marines had a very unique and rugged look. Their design makes it clear that they wear a lot of armour plating and I dunno, I guess I just like that they look like they can take some hits with those plates on. The Troopers and Marines in Reach don't have vambraces or shin armour like the marines in Halo 1 do so it looks like they would be more susceptible to taking hits in the legs and arms. The shoulder plates of the H1 marines don't look bulky and useless either. They seemed more human and less spartan, which I felt was good. Also, the Reach Troopers and Marines look fat. As if they are wearing heavy coats that fit to their bodies for trekking in the Arctic or some dumb shit like that. Maybe that's why I dislike the way they look so much.
