I'm annoyed by fanboys. I dislike fans who hop on the "TrU3 Fanz" bandwagon when it comes to Combat Evolved. The game was great but it's not the be all end all Halo. Most of the fans who originally played it were young, and a biased with their overwhelming nostalgia. The graphics were nice but how could you NOT want them to be updated? Having the MC as the "strong silent" type was cool but his personality could've used some work.
Each new addition to the series brought a few great additions/changes to gameplay but people often forget how much fun those games where when they constantly compare it to the CE; the most obvious being the hate for Reach and it's various gameplay mechanics...specifically Armor Lock and Bloom.
Also, I can't understand why people are raving over the glitches and bugs. Sure, sometimes they can have cool results but in the end they were still loose threads. You shouldn't judge this entire remake over whether or not your favorite glitch was in it. Fans should be more open minded about the progress Halo has made over the last 10 years. Even some of the features in Reach are worth looking into for a possible addition into CEA.
Multiplayer in CE was NOT. The pistol was unnecessarily strong and dominated the sandbox. I can see why 343i struggled in a decision when it came to this part of the game.

Supposed "TrU3 Fanz" annoy me due to their belief that bashing anything that isn't Halo 1 or 2 makes them more of a fan than the next person. Judging a game by what the weapons look like is ridiculous and more importantly, pathetic. And who cares if it breaks cannon? I'd rather have broken cannon than a disappointing game.
Again, bashing the newer Halo's doesn't really achieve anything. How about we look towards the future instead of patting our backs because we all love a decade old game?
How'd I do OP?
