I think the only things I don't like are the teleporting enemies, and that's not because they weren't in Halo, I just don't like them.

They mess with movement planning and feedback. With how they tend to be implemented, the player can't be expected to meaningfully anticipate or react to them. From the player's point of view, it's effectively a mechanism that randomly interferes in random ways with the core gameplay. And for what benefit? I have no idea; I've seen loads of people criticize these mechanics (and those of Prom Knights in Halo 4), and almost nobody defending them.
