Not really, it's a brand name. People expect a certain something when they see a brand name and developers will aim to give them than. I want bungie to work on brand new IP's.
 
As long as the graphics are actually clean - I think H3 has to be the only case where the graphics have actually dented my enjoyment of it - coming from something like Gears of War, or Warhawk, or MGS4 to Halo 3 and seeing the horrendous aliasing and total lack of anisotropic filtering is incredibly jarring! I've never had such a bad case of graphics blues like that before. It NEEDS to get rid of the aliasing. 640p and no anti-aliasing just to have extra strong bloom is freaking ridiculous and really hampered the awesome gameplay.

I even prefer playing it on SDTVs that's how bad it is!

I like fast paced action FPS games, stuff like UT99 and old skool quake. Half Life deathmatch also. When Halo came along with its 'heavy' gameplay and beefed up 'fatter' style graphics, and slow feel, it was incredibly successfull, especially with the lardy Americans who couldnt play proper FPS games as there reactions were to slow. But, as with all things successfull, they got copied, and since then most FPS developers have tried to make their game 'Halo like', (see UT2k4, UT3, etc etc) and this has just ruined the genre. Im just glad that Valve didnt get sucked in and kept with some clean, crisp gameplay in games like TF2.

Halo did not do any of what you have posted. It's the natural progression of the genre, games get more complex, that is the way of things. The gameplay you loved so much was a result of limitations in hardware, software and genre history. The FPS genre would have died on it's ass had it not developed new ideas and trends, if every game was mindless twichplay from UT99 to now no one would be buying/making them anymore.
