Actually, the FRC was Bungie's idea. People said they wanted it, so they threw it in, but they were already concerned about Halo 2, so they didn't do much testing, and so didn't realize how overpowered it was (hence why it's not in Halo 2 multiplayer).
Otherwise, Gearbox's problems came in several flavors. The first was that the shaders they made were a little too demanding for the visual quality you got. Second, the net code caused lag, that, yes, did result in problems with shooting accuracy. You actually sometimes don't want to lead the target with your reticle - mostly you want to be a 1/2 inch behind it. Gearbox was rushed by M$, and, well, you can see the result. We can only hope that the port for PC is done by another company, or M$ gives the company doing it a bit more time.
