Halo 4's Chief was the fastest chief in the entire series. He also moved the fastest in cutscenes, too. Look at how Chief runned in Halo 2 vs Halo 4. In Halo 2, Chief was hardly making any ground. In halo 4, chief was pumping his arms realistically and actually moving. When he punched someone, it looked like he was punching them. In that cutscene before the 6th level when the sphere went up behind him and how fast chief took out his rifle and turned to face it. If you paid attention to the motions he'd make in all of these cutscenes, you'd see that he didnt move at all like a tank. In fact, he had almost crysis-level agility (like when he jumped off that ghost)
Every multiplayer shooter rewards players to get "cheap kills" if you go by that logic. Balance is allowing everyone the opportunity to use the same weapons, while at the same time, encouraging them to form their own tactics with said weapons in order to defeat their opponents. Ie: using a shotgun against an energy sword, a sniper against a rocket launcher, etc. If a game were balanced by your standards, it would be essentially two people in a room with pistols that are pre-aimed to the head so that neither can blame their deaths on good reflexes. You can't balance a game completely without balancing characters. That aside, Halo 4's actually gotten better balance now than it had, say a year ago. last year, Halo 4 was incredibly unbalanced. Now, it's just unbalanced period. 'Point is, there is no such thing as a balanced shooter when people can use different weapons. you didn't know the democrats started the kkk? wow, ok moving on. i don't care much for mocap garbage, it's crutch that destroys a lot of the neat, interesting ways people perform some actions. also i said the interactive cutscenes, which where trash with decent mocap. furthermore u far exaggerate what i meant about balance, i personally believe "balanced" (while nearly impossible to achieve) is reached when each gun has its place, but is still at somewhat adaptable, guns are incapable of single shot kills, no OP grenades, and kills require skill to attain ("the firstest with the mostest", for those who know the saying) in ways that don't set up easy victories (e.g. spawn kill streaks). like i said if you enjoy halo 4, that's great, awesome for you, and it is nice to hear they've improved multiplayer balance.

I Agree entirely a lot of the new elements implemented by 343i were almost needed and really did positively effect gameplay in halo 4
If people don't like it when halo changes go play COD that hasn't changed since the first one

COD: Punch a car windshield and the thing bursts into flames. Halo: Punch a Warthog windshield and the glass breaks. COD: Shoot a pistol at a brick wall and the bullet goes through it (yes that happened in MW2) Halo: Shoot a pistol at a brick wall and the bullet bounces off of it. And they say COD is more realistic? lol
I felt like some of the additions made to Halo 4's MP were unnecessary. I still enjoy it, but only for casual play. If I'm feeling competitive I go play my free copy of Halo 3. I pretty much play both games evenly and both have their pros and cons.
Oh, and I LOVED Halo 4's campaign, it was spectacular IMO

Oh trust me, it was GOD-AWFUL before the weapon tuning TUs. It's much better and actually enjoyable now, although it's kinda annoying how everyone uses the BR. It's like BRBRBRBRBR everywhere. I'm still unique and prefer the elegant, tactical Covenant Carbine. Really satisfying to pop a BR user and hear them rage how I beat their OP gun with an underpowered cotton-ball gun (as one guy put it after I turned his head into swiss cheese)

The thing about the Halo 4 Carbine... IT. DESTROYS. NOOBS. Seriously. If the Halo 4 Carbine had the H3 model and the ODST firing sound it would be the perfect weapon IMO.
