ah -blam!- it. there is individual skill and there is team skills. individual skill is aiming, dodging, tossing nades and such. team skills are knowing where to go and who to shoot to best benefit your team. Halo 1 was too much geared to the individual skills, people that could kill most of the other team by themselves, whereas halo 2 was made to be fun for the whole team. sure there is auto aim but now everyone in the team is useful, in halo one you would get instances of one or two people on a team dominating because the slightly worse players couldn't quite match them, in halo 2 it is set up that maybe the game doesn't need as much individual skill but now the whole team is useful. NEITHER GAME IS BETTER OR WORSE, just different.
I can actually see where you're coming from, but where this falls apart is that it only takes one person to whore a rocket launcher or sword and sit at a choke point consistently killing players that are better than them. Anybody who has played any Halo game knows that any player, especially one who really really sucks, can pick up a rocket launcher, sit in a corner with their reticule on the flag point, and provide the cheap and unskilled yet effective defense that wins the game for the team with worse players. Halo 2 only enhanced that.
but if you were paying attention to your teammates you would wonder why they died and their body flew across the map, then you would be prepared to go up against somebody.
