They are using the same engine as in Halo 3 so there can't be great improvement in graphics.

Banner editing was in Halo 3 as well. Classes only purpose is to flavor things in up, not to work as they work for example in BC2 where every class supports another.

Because the people who bought is, also liked Halo 3. Nobody would've bought it if they think Halo 3 is crap.

I have played both of them. Modern Warfare 1 felt fresh and was a good improvement from the previous Call of Dutys (CoD 1 is still the best of the CoDs!). Modern Warfare 2 is an ADHD reaction game. Who squeezes the trigger first, wins. Awful crap.

And why did it get such excellent reviews. Especially when you factor in the fact that most reviewers bash games for being the same exact thing, unless of course it's by a major producer.

I believe you are missing something and don't know what's the big deal as obviously you are not a big fan of the Halo series
.
It got good reviews because the entirety is good. Good SP, good MP. Sure it feels like Halo 3 and doesn't seem to have much new in it. But for a fan you have plenty of new things and desired additions. New singleplayer experience and story, in MP they've added all features from previous games as well as new, like the credits system and armor customization (only a cosmetic feautre, though).
People who aren't the fan of the series, they feel like it's the same old, so I say why to bother even buy? For a fan, Reach is everything you've wanted from a Halo game.
