You cannot take on multiple opponents with the kill times being as protracted as they are now. It takes so long to kill someone that by the time you finish them off you're probably at half shield and get killed by their teammates.

In halo 3, you are forced to teamshot or you lose. Stupid people say that this means there is more teamwork. Smart people realize that even though teamshot is irrelevant in Halo CE, halo CE actually takes 5x as much teamwork as halo 3 ever could. The difference is that you can do something as an individual rather than being tethered to your teammates.

I've said this before, but the biggest difference between Halo 1 and any of its sequels is the individual power afforded to players. As an individual in Halo 1, you can take on an entire enemy team plus their vehicles and kill them all as long as you're more skilled than they are. If you want the long range battles to be more epic, maybe a better step would be to turn down the massive autoaim in the game?
