Isn't this basically what Bungie did with Halo 2, 3, ODST, and Reach? Halo 2 and 3 basically made it so new players can stand against seasoned players. Nothing wrong with that, but it did take away from Halo CE gameplay and thus, throughout all the changes, they still cater to a more average audience.
Again, I'm glad they did, but I still remember al lthe threads from Halo 2 and Halo 3 about how it's been "noobified" and catered toward casuals.
Thing to remember is that Microsoft was holding the leash and whipping it hard on most of those titles, and by ODST and Reach (which Microsoft still had some large degree of influence over, if I hear right) they were obviously getting tired of Halo.
In my opinion, Halo 2 was a great game despite the rushing. It was an excellent story and, despite the gameplay faltering, I thought it was a good continuation. As for Halo 3 and onward, well, yes, they slipped, and I don't know whose fault that was. Bungie is on thin ice with me personally, but Microsoft's ice has already fissured and dumped their asses in the freezing lake.
