The thing is, guns are made for right handed people. Especially the military, since making two kind of some guns would be a hassle. Also, they train soldiers and police to hold and shoot them right handed.
I would like to see it though. I know it bugs lefties. When people hold guns in their left hand in games it makes me feel awkward. Like un-natural.
Actually, most modern firearms are designed to be left-hand friendly...just thought I'd let you know that. They train police and soldiers to shoot with their dominant hand, as well as with their non-dominant hand. Being partially ambidexterous, I prefer to shoot with my left hand instead of my right hand, simply because I find the controls on a weapon easier to manipulate with my left hand than my right.
I'm the same way, I'm ambidextrous myself, but prefer my left hand in most situations such as firing a gun.
I looked over some more of the Halo 3 weapons and all of them seem to be lefty friendly, so as far as weapons go in the game, Bungie would have no reason to simply ignore this idea.
Another one of the bashes against this idea is that it's not worth the time, or that it will "take up extra data" or some other form of that argument, I don't know much about any of that, so I can't really make an argument back in favor of left handed gameplay. One more off the top of my head is the "the HUD will have to be changed" one. But! This is the future, and in the future, wouldn't you think that they would have made a HUD system that adapts to what hand you use? It wouldn't be that hard to flip things around would it? Even if it was just mirrored.
So yeah, once again the only reason I could see Bungie not doing this is because either:
A) Left handed people are in a drastic minority, and there's no point to catering to such a small audience in the first place
B) They won't even consider this idea in the first place
or
C) It's just too much extra work
