The point is that they have already realized that alot of these things aren't multiplayer and have taken them out.
I feel that removal of equipment is more of a question of preference than game balance or skill. Bungie has done a pretty good job of making equipment equally accessible to all players in multiplayer. I understand that it CHANGES the mechanics of the game, but there are not so many pieces of equipment in existence on a map simultaneously that is drastically changes the general feel of the game. Personally, although I use equipment, i feel that most of my kills are not equipment related. There is always a counter for equipment, and everyone has access to those items. With that in mind, consider that perhaps equipment will probably be included but can be forged out/excluded from some matchmaking playlists.
The only reason that i could see equipment being completely irrevocably remove would be if they wanted to replace it with some other game mechanic.

What about the times when you are trying to stop the flag guy and he throws up a bubble as soon as he is weak, then waits there. Then you have to either charge in and hope that he is bad enough not to kill you with his one hit melee weapon or sit and wait for it to disappear and probably get killed by his teammates. Which of our scenarios happens more often? You can also replace flag guy with; shotgun guy, hammer guy, mauler guy, sword guy, ball guy,or bomb guy.
I feel that there is enough of a counter for each action in the HALO games. Typically i deal with that bubble situation with a double team. if 2 people come after the flag from opposite sides, there is little the carrier can do but run, at which point you can just shoot them. If they don't, they have left a bubble shield for you to defend the flag with while you wait for it to return.
