Nothing can be perfect for any one person, and people will always want more and more, so perfection is not attainable, and if you think it is, then you have a very slim look on life, and as a gaming community as a whole...
So inovation is the only choice in that poll that makes any sense, and the majority of gamers will not like coming back to the same thing, in a new game...
"Perfect" the verb has a different meaning than "perfect" the adjective.
If you perfect something you strive to make it perfect. Of course nothing will ever be perfect, but that doesn't mean you can't try, that doesn't even mean you can't come close.
Saying that trying to make something perfect doesn't make sense simply doesn't make sense. In fact it's one of the most idiotic things I've read in a long time.
What I would recommend is conservative innovation, the perfect what you have. Which I think is what Bungie excels at, the successful implementation of cool ideas.
The problem is how to "perfect" the game. Should they perfect the game for the Halo 1 fans, the Halo 2 fans, or the Halo 3 fans? Should they stick with a median between the three that may very well piss off many fans like Halo 3, or should they improve on certain aspects which will only appease one group? The only way I can see Bungie appeasing all fans is by including everything, and leaving a good amount of options available to revert the game as close as possible to a previous state, but then that will lead to a lack of polish in other mechanics and resources will have to be pulled from campaign, and people will complain about minor polish on those options like not being able to run at 113% which would be closer to Halo post patch 1.5 than 110% or 125%. It's not really a win win situation.
Also, Bungie tried perfection with Halo 3's campaign, but in the end people complained about the lack of new scenarios like the Scarabs introduction in Halo 2, etc.
