Postprocessing, dual wielding, melee/reload permutations, bloom, custom tags, normal maps on scenery, multi-team vehicles, vehicle boarding, bypassing all map limits, and other things are already developed or are being worked on. A new RC of OS is on the way.
You can do a lot of things with OS, but of course it has its limits. You can't give the game a whole new render engine or physics engine, but you can change the way things work inside the game. Syncing objects with OS is theoretically possible, but it was dropped because it kept crashing. If you wanted to give the UI planes a tilt like in Reach, or curve the UI planes to look like Halo 3, that's possible with some work. It's not the source code to the game, but it is a way to hook into the game engine and modify its memory.
