I'm taking you to mean the gameplay/interface elements rather than visuals - visuals and action sounds they at least have a way to explain in canon, as opposed to things like screen markers, text, game announcing, all of that type of 'overlay' stuff that doesn't really exist in-armor, but rather in-video-game. To me classic gameplay is more the former, and less the latter. The more multiplayer looks like a "multiplayer game" instead of "spartans duelling" as it were, I wholeheartedly agree - that's straying from what made Halo Halo, IMO.
