It depends on your point of view. For someone who just wants to kick back and shoot things Reach is great, because it doesn't really have much of a learning curve and doesn't take much skill or effort to do well at compared to most FPS games. For someone like me who plays games primarily for the challenge, Reach is horrible. The Campaign is so fucking easy that I beat Legendary in a day, and multiplayer is deliberately designed so that anyone can just jump in and get kills without much effort. For me, it takes all the fun out of things and I'd call that a pretty huge flaw, not a nitpick.
Of course, everything is subjective and nobody is going to like the same things everyone else likes. And I was being a pretty large douche when I first started posting about Reach around the Beta. But the points I've made are still valid, and I've yet to see anybody on the other side make a better argument than 'l2play n00b'.
