You'd expect some mental enhancements too. Since what computers are best at is data recall and calculations, you'd expect that advanced cyborgs would have perfect memories and be able to multiply 20-digit numbers in their heads. Plus, you wouldn't need radar screens, targeting displays, ammunition indicators, etc. when the info could simply appear on your field of vision via a feed into your visual center. We probably won't see any of this mental stuff, though, since there's no way to give a Halo player the feeling of having an eidetic memory, or increased intelligence.
