my answer is YES.
They are all important, and Halo, probably more so that most games in recent memory is great not because of weapon balance, not because of stellar AI, not because of superb multiplayer map design, but because of how well everything comes together. The game is more than the sum of its' parts.
If I had to pick one, I think it'll come down to weapon balance as that's what's really going to give the multiplayer it's legs.
