Right there with you on the auto aiming and swat and stuff. Wish you could turn off auto aim help and/or use a mouse/keyboard.(Granted the latter would definitely be an advantage imo).

Grifball was better on Halo 3, imo.
I don't know where I'd rank this game between the last two games. I feel it has the weakest maps of any of the games. I don't know. I have the feeling it won't hold my attention like Halo 2 and Halo 3 did.
Halo 1 is obviously the best.

This blows Halo 3 out of the water, imo. I don't remember playing that much Halo 3. I think we went at it for a month or so, and pretty much just stopped. The multiplayer holds a lot more ground than Halo 3, but Bronson is right in saying the maps aren't as good. They really aren't. I mean, most of the time I find myself cringing at the combination of the gametype and map we end up playing.
SWAT is probably my favorite gametype. Big fan of the DMR in this game, and no radar is always a plus in my book because every kid out there can no longer just sit around and GO, "LOL A RED DOT COMING AT ME, HE'S MINE!" Not in the sense that it helps both sides, because it does, but I just know that's what most of these people are thinking when they have radar, which pisses me off.

ACCEPTED.
I don't know. I didn't hate Halo 3. There were things that pissed me off. I stuck with it for about a year. The competitive side of it made it decent.
To me, the gameplay itself (physics, weaponry, etc.) is so similar in Halo 2, Halo 3, and Reach that the only thing that differentiates the games value are the maps. Halo 2 had great maps. Lockout, Midship, Beaver Creek, Warlock, and Sanctuary were amazing. Granted, two of those were remakes, but still. There were several other maps (Ivory Tower, Backwash, Elongation) that weren't great, but were serviceable.
After DLC and Forge-friendly maps like Foundry and Sandbox, quality of play in Halo 3 went way up. The on-disc maps were iffy. The Pit, Guardian, and Construct were great. Blackout, Cold Storage, Assembly, and Narrows were decent. People made some amazing maps on Foundry and Sandbox. The Midship remake looked good in the videos I saw. Not as great as the original, but really solid.
This game needs some absolute killer DLC. Asylum is great, but not original. It's just a remake of one of the best maps in the series. Countdown is decent. Zealot has a couple of flaws that kill what could've been a good map. The Cage can be good without jetpacks. Reflection is the same as it was in Halo 2. Not great. Not awful. After that, what's good? Sword Base? Powerhouse? Boardwalk? Disappointing. Logan says they're remaking Wizard/Warlock. That's a start, but I need to see more before I rank this game ahead of any of its predecessors.

MLG released version one of its maps and gametypes. Among the changes they've made to the default maps is blocking off the space area in Zealot! No armor loudouts on spawn. Armor Lock, Jetpack, and Hologram are spread around the map like equipment in Halo 3. You can't pick them up off a dead body, though. They respawn at the default spot after the holder's body has disappeared off the map. Other minor changes to Asylum, Countdown, and Reflection. Seems decent. Nothing major other than the change to Zealot.

And I like how this assassination looks combined with how this scenario turned out, lol.
