Imagine if it wasn't broken.
Nothing about it is broken though.
Because Halo 2's MP totally isn't broken.

Reach should have been hell.

Instead we got farms and Sterile white cities.

Don't forget the lack of Spartans :/

One team is all we get? Seriously? I expected an army, or at least a handful of spartans on the front lines.
Instead we are always "infiltrating" or whatever.
There really weren't that many Spartans at Reach.

I should have seen more than one Squad the whole game.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Not that many though. I'd estimate maybe a 100 Spartans in total. Though that's just guestimation based on no evidence really.

We do know that we had the SPARTAN-IIs, and multiple SPARTAN-III fireteams at Reach.

Halo 3:ODST fixed Bungie's original shitty version of New Mombasa, but you are right. If H2 had done the same as Halo Reach in terms of sheer destruction and exposing you to it then it would have been perfect.

That elevator scene from Reach sticks in my mind strongly to this day

I'm not sure if you're talking about Reach or ODST, so I'll address both.

Well, ODST wasn't meant to be an off-the-rails action/apocalypse game, it was designed more around being a noire/detective theme. Although, it still had plenty of action, but it was just a kind of battle for a city that you already know is lost type; makes some sense because if the flashback action sequences were apocalyptic with the city being melted, then it would be kinda hard for The Rookie to have been alive.

Reach, however, really did stress the oncoming "end of world" theme. It was a gradual start with not much destruction at all as the Covenant's invasion was slow and secretive to begin with. Although it took until the end of LNoS for things to really take off, which unfortunately is half-way through the game, from that point on we see a lot of destruction with the planet burning and seeing New Alexandria get reduced to glass. Really, just like with all of Halo: Reach, it could've been a lot better; witnessing the cities and UNSC fortresses fall should've been in much more of the game, as really you're only seeing non-Military struggle and die in 2 missions, and out of those 2 only in 1 do you outright help civilians.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
