Just simply, halo 3 was a casual gamers game, not to say it was bad or not fun. It was just "noob friendy", thats because of the melee, OP guns everywhere, aim assistance, slow movement speed.
Im noy saying get rid of certain things completely, just reduce them. Aim assistance is kind of ridiculous, it practically aims for you. And the lunge distace is way too far.
A movement speed increase increases the amount of skill required to play the game. Is it easier to get sniped when youre moving slow or fast?
Overpowering grenades. 5 minutes into any game, there are grenades everywhere because of all the dead bodies, and then grenade spam becomes a noobs best friend. This really doesnt take much if any skill. The explosion radious is pretty large, and they do a huge amount of damage. I think a solution would be either to keep the radius and lower the damage or lower the radius and keep the damage.
Slow equipment/slow weapon switching. If youre in the middle of a fire fight, and the weapon youre using is incapabable of killing your opponent, then you have to switch, and because of the really slow delay of weapon switching, the only way youre gonna surive is if the gun you're switching to can instantly kill them.
And by the slow equipment i mean how long it takes for the equipment to come out, its been way too many times where i just finished a fire fight with people, and now im getting my -blam!- together and finding cover so a br doesnt one shot me. A br guy pops out of a corner, but luckily you have a bubble shield. But oh -blam!-, it came out after you died because it took too long.

those are the only gameplay mechanics i would change for now, and sorry but anyone who says the game is totally skill based is either a complete idiot, or just a casual gamer.
Wait, a gameplay suggestion that doesn't involve Call of Duty?
Crazy
Yes, I remember in previous games it was hard for me to attain a high level in MM, but in Halo 3 I got to 45 with relative ease. This might be that everyone who plays Halo 3 sucks, but I think it's more because you don't need skill to win the match or get a lot of kills. I don't want MLG, although I don't want it to be easy.
Same with campaign, there needs to be a harder difficulty for that.
