But it’s not impossible that they’ve come up with a way to make it work with larger teams if that is how it’s going.
We will see, but big team objective is the essence of Halo MP for me.

It might be your ‘essence’ but Halo is a medium paced arena shooter at heart. It’s a 4v4 game. It’s core combat mechanics are so good that it scales down and up brilliantly but in CE it was a 2v2 game and ever since it’s been a 4v4 game ‘in essence’. That doesn’t need to be what you most enjoy, again it’s so flexible that it is fantastic as an 8v8 game and it’s BTB has been well looked after

It wasn’t a 2v2 game in CE, that’s just how many people you could get on a single console. There were 8v8 matches in CE available over LAN.

Load outs and XP unlocking abilities can get the fuck in the bin forever

I do respect that competitive players often do bring a lot to the table and their opinions on many things are to be respected, but I really couldn’t give two shits about what they may consider to be the essence of Halo. If it doesn’t involve almost pissing yourself laughing, it’s not going to be the essence of the game for me.
