Exactly. They never will be bungie and they'll never capture that lightning in the bottle that bungie has. Wether people are expecting it or not, they just don't have it in them. And graphics performance aren't the problem, it's the core gameplay and how they design the games. Pretty sure that fan base wants a semi linear game with little fluff but one that has core gameplay as addicting and feels as good as Destiny 2 and well designed MP maps to be able to use the perfect fps gameplay against other people. That's it, there's no more to the equation and 343 can't seem to do that. 

They do have it in them because the gameplay of Halo Infinite is about as close to a Bungie Halo as it can get. If you played it, you would know the gameplay for Infinite is why people even kept playing as long as they have because it's damn good. It's the other problems it had like missing content and long delays between new content.

I finished Infinite (short game sadly) and while the game play was fun, in the end I was only doing grapple hook punch kills. I hardly bothered with the guns after the 'open' world part was over.

I did enjoy the art style a lot, served up by the bespoke engine, so more hesitant to an Unreal 5 switch. Infinite had some very cool lighting.

(I'm not into multiplayer, so this is purely about the campaign)
