Whats innovative to some might not be to others.

I fail to see your problem with the 1up thing, has any one else done it if not then its innovative.

 As Naz said (and I... simply assumed others could intuit): the problem isn't that it's a bad idea. It's a great idea.

It's just that it's been done before. A lot. For a long time. By multiple companies. And done better at that: Valve's engine's have not only allowed playback, but rewind options for some time now. 

So my problem isn't that this idea is bad, or that it wasn't innovative at some point in time. The problem is that it's a great idea that's been done multiple times by other (very succesful) companies, that they've been doing it for a long time, and at least a couple of those companies have included more features in their playback than Bungie did.

Of course, none of these companies have produced games on the Xbox, PS2, Xbox360, or PS3. Which is the problem here, I think, and what makes me so angry.

As a PC Gamer, nothing bothers me more than to see professional gaming journalists not acknowledge the existance of a game mechanic or feature until it reaches their preferred consoles. At which point it apparently becomes "innovative."

I repeat: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
