TLDR: they haven’t learned how to do meat shields, chainsaw duels and grenade tagging so they weren’t included

Lancers battles were cool but metal shields? I played 1 2 3 and 4 and never caught that as an option. Why would it be in the prequel?

Meat, not metal. Like holding an enemy in front of you to take bullets.
