I was waiting for a game-changing new gameplay feature during the e3 presentation but I didn't see any. Like Fallout 4 integrated the house-building, scavenging to construct stuff, over 700 weapon customizations that affect even the look of the weapon, the Dog interactivity, new dialog tree and voice over for protagonist, improved character movement and feel, etc.
I guess Halo fans will be happy playing more from the franchise they love though so it will be ok for them. I too like to play more of the same from franchises I love, so I won't stand here and criticize them for that.
