Games that often fail or are just "B" games, even "C" games like CoD, don't achieve legendary status because they fail to implement all of these things wonderfully. You can have great gameplay and terrible story, or a great story with terrible gameplay, but it won't captivate you like the Elder Scrolls series, or even Halo: CE.
It takes excelling in all those departments to create a game that will stand the test of time.

Well said. I should've explained more in OP. I never meant for them to sacrifice Gameplay entirely for Story. I just don't want this to be another CoD clone, for the fact they chose to focus mainly on Gameplay leaving Story to waste. That said, Elder Scrolls with a combo of Halo style gameplay, would be an ideal game.

Nah, don't worry. I have faith that these guys will pull it off :-)
