So is Halo officially dead yet? (Off-Topic)

I don't know how people have maintained enthusiasm for Halo over the past few months--I have completely walked away from Halo after the Master Chief Collection. It is up to 343 Industries and all their contracted companies to put together a great game this Fall that brings me back.

That is seriously heartbreaking. Forge is better than ever, custom game options support it better than ever, it just needs someone with good ideas for things to build in it. Yes, matchmaking has issues, really every mode has issues, and Forged maps in this are unlikely to ever get into matchmaking, but they can still be enjoyed.

No file sharing support, extremely cumbersome and unintuitive UI, foundation game is an anniversary title, not backwards compatible with previous Forge creations, next game less than a year away at launch.

Yeah, Certain Affinity did a great job with Forge. Every other aspect of the Master Chief Collection makes me not want to Forge.
