I had a lot of fun with this one. Sure it was too short, and as is common in the series there was a bit of unneeded repetition, but nothing like the last bit of Halo:CE. The solo was certainly better than 2 or ODST, and I enjoyed it more than 3 as well. CE was mixed a really great first 2/3rds, repetitive last 3rd. But it had the benefit of being fresh and new so I'd go with CE>Reach>3>ODST>2. I had a blast, but without Live it may make a better rental or borrow. Of course if like me you have lots of local players to play then it is a must buy. By all means give it at least a rental, you won't be disappointed.
