^i don't think people necesarily wanted it gone so much as fixed or improved. mh4 may not need it but let me point this question to you. if playing tri or trig you had marine monsters and large open swimmable areas how would it be exeptable in mh4 if they have any sizeable body of water with monsters that can go in BUT you. if you played mhfu and that was you're only mh game ever it doesn't even come as a thought but if you played tri or tri g it becomes unnacceptable NOT to have the mechanic when it was in use before.. alas there appears to be no large pools of water and monsters which swim in them so no uw gameplay hasn't been a major issue yet.. i would hope to god capcom doesn't put plesioth in this game.. time will tell.
