Halo: Make it more accessible.

Haha yeah, but thankfully 343 has managed to balance that with also making the game balanced, competitive, and not filled with tedious fluff (though there's an argument for ground pound / spartan charge being fluff). The more casual crowd gets Warzone, while the more competitive crowd gets Arena.
