Alright reviews have already started coming in. If you don't already know here are the reviews:
IGN US: 9.5
IGN UK: 10
Game Informer: 9.5
Game trailers: 9.3

There are several others, but these are all that I've heard right now.

One... more day... and then a few shots, and then i get the game! Woot! xD Hopefully i can finally be able to use forge... forge in halo 3 was just BAD... so many glitches i had to memorize how to do for my map to be good... ex: interlocking, budget glitch, etc etc. Now i can do all that with the menu! xD

My gamertag is on the contact info section of my POF profile, feel free to add me. I know I'm already friends with Swash but I don't think I've played with any other POFers...yet.

Now that Reach has been out for a week, what are your thoughts?

I was VERY happy with the campaign. Unlike H3 and ODST, it's actually a challenge. Not that H3 and ODST weren't fun, but if I don't get frustrated even once during a game, I think it's probably too easy. Solo campaign is definitely a lot tougher. I had some pretty high death counts on a couple missions before it clicked that I wouldn't be able to breeze through like the previous 2 games. I'm really excited that the solo campaign is so tough.

Bungie said in co-op campaign (and firefight?), the enemies were upgraded to account for extra players, but my buddy and I have been able to go through co-op pretty quickly and easily. I haven't finished solo or co-op yet but I'll probably sit down and knock it out sometime this week.

I've only played 5 matchmaking games but so far it's about like I expected after playing the beta back in May. I did terrible on Boardwalk in my only team slayer game (I need to learn the new maps) but won all 4 invasion games I've played (pretty easy if you have a competent team).

The achievements for this game are pretty easy I think. I have completed 34 of 49 with only 5 matchmaking games played and campaign not finished, so I wish they were a little more challenging.

Other than that, my only other observation from my limited play time is that fully customizable firefight is hilarious and totally exploitable.

What do you guys think so far?
