I'm pretty sure Microsoft paid or influenced somehow to make Bungie create Halo 3 to sell to the casual gamer, and this was Microsoft's influence to sell copies ect. This is why we see a somewhat weakened BR and a melee system that takes two punches, Melee and Lunging is what really irritates me about Halo 3.
Now that Bungie is its own I expect a lot more Halo 1 styled games, where there is a larger skill gap while stile being a balanced game, and Bungie taking a lot more risks than they would have in say Halo 2 and 3.
But I also think Bungie developers realize that the "hardcore" halo players wants a larger skill gap, and not have someone lunge and melee you twice to your death. I still can't believe that it takes exactly 12 BR bullets to kill someone or getting punched twice, that is still retarded to me. I really do hope Reach is the Halo 1 of its days, because no game has quite done what Halo 1 has yet, period.
