I think it even goes deeper than that, Scot. Imagine seeing an SMG wielding Spartan running around, but then notice a) a sword, b) an RL, c) a shotgun or d) any other formidible weapons that changes your tactics. You can now gage how you should respond to your foe instead of going in guns a-blazing only to get eviscerated from the unseem sword or shotgun.

This is interesting because it is giving a more tactical gameplay to the Halo genre. Sure, it'll still be a primarily 'run-n-gun' style shooter, but the over-arching effects have changed ever so slightly, but significantly. I like it and I haven't even tried it.
