So because it isn't H1 it isn't good?

You compare everything about the game to it's predecessor.

The game took off. Bungie's plan was to have people enjoy the game, not see how much skill it took to be good at something. They weren't aiming to push your gaming ability to the limit. They were aiming to please customers and sell the game.

I'm so tired of people complaining about H2 now. H3 is about to come out. Nothing is going to change, just stop ranting and complaining.
