Another reason I dislike this in a competitive multiplayer environment is because of the positive feedback loop effect. You can see exactly the same thing in (for example) PvP in World of Warcraft: better players are rewarded with gear that makes them stronger in competitive multiplayer, which gives them even more of a competitive advantage than before. One thing that games like the Halo series does well (well, up until 4 at least) is it gives everyone access to the exact same toolset.

I await further clarification I guess…
