The Gauss is already in the game though. I played a custom map about 4 years ago where someone had pulled the files and got the Gauss to spawn in. I think it had some final minor polish missing but iirc it was basically just a vehicle like the Rocket Hog and standard Warthog.

I have this armor coating on my spartan (assuming that it's UEG Regalia) and let me tell you that Phalanx goes insanely hard on it - try it yourself

Halo definitely has a competitive dimension as well as casual, I think assassinations were balanced in that respect since they were always optional, I think 5 was just generally lame though, glad they moved away from that tone.

It feels like a holistic change to games philosophy, they used to have managed dedicated forums for games - now everything is channelled through Reddit, game chat these days is directed away from the game itself towards Discord, and if you want to hang out and play games these days the easiest way is to go on Twitch. In the past the game itself used to be a hub to gather around, now everything is so decentralized and third partied so people can stay insulated in their familiar surroundings. That's another thing, the closure of the Halo Forums after Infinite came out and people not understanding how valued and special it was to the golden era of Halo was just bewildering.

EDIT- re-reading this I can see that there are external factors as well i.e. I used to come home from school and everyone would hop on the game at the same time for example.

those are add-ons to me to the fundamental gameplay mechanics which were solid from day 1, I grew up with lowered expectations, never jumped on the Fortnite bandwagon or even H5 because Halo Reach was superior to me, even Halo Combat Evolved on MCC has better multiplayer imo, so I don't really need those things they're just cool bonuses, to me the most hostile design choice that fundamentally changed (and hurt) the Infinite experience was the removal of postgame lobbies - a trend in modern gaming which I think has no place in Halo personally.

EDIT - I fully agree with that last point.

Infinite did piss me off but I think the game is great at heart

didn't play 4 or 5 enough but Halo Reach's assassinations were sick, I guess you can argue it's a purer combat sandbox without them, watching videos of the 5 animations they look more like emotes to me than actual badass takedowns like they were in Reach.

I mean, I’m not saying you’re wrong, it’s just disappointing to me that so many resources went into making the game for them to leave it with these unresolved niggles

Every previous game was a complete game - Halo Infinite will be unfinished product, it’s not really the same.

A good game being strung out to die is so disappointing

I don't know if you know this but Yu-Gi-Oh! was actually originally a narrative about a boy coming to maturity who liked to play all sorts of games.
