Halo 4 to feature one heavy Master Chief
Nope, it's all part of 343 Industries' plan to update the Master Chief's armor for Halo 4. A blog post on Halo Waypoint discusses the "800 pounds of tank and jet fighter" strapped to Chief's frame. "So we pulled that design into the armor and HUD. When you play Halo 4, it's important you understand that you're more than just a gun on the screen. To give you that feeling, we have represented that weight with player physics, without interrupting crosshair and shooting accuracy."
Despite Chief's bulk, 343 describes him in Halo 4 as "a nimble yet heavy superhero." His design will contrast against the bulky Spartan armor design seen in Bungie's last effort, Halo: Reach. "When we first looked at the Chief's armor, we studied what was done in Reach. We knew he needed to be understood as a nimble yet heavy superhero, and contrast that with Reach armor design that was more on the bulky side. Our goal is to hit that sweet spot where we represent what is fictionally true about the Chief while making sure you feel like you're a super-powerful human being when you're playing him."
In short, 343 is aiming to better convey his physical weight to the players -- and it sounds like his movement and characteristics will reflect that. Whether it'll come with a more complex, busier HUD remains to be seen.

Master chief's suit has always been really heavy. It's just not as heavy when activated. Well, not heavy to him anyway. In the first mission of halo 3 they were gonna call in heavy lift transport for him.

Why does everyone hate On Reach? It wasnt even a bad game, it was a great game and better than Halo 3 in my opinion. They cant keep the same gameplay every title and hope to make buisness, they need to shake it up and add things and i think they did a great job of it too. Actually its a perfectly balanced game now, its not like CoD with the Type 95 and crap. Simply dont hate on any game because i promise you that you couldnt make a better game.

Teh_only_loverAAmbitionsIsBack Halo 2,3 are still the best. **** Reach and the power up ****. Keep it more basic and more even gamrplay without the powerups.i agree with the fact that halos 1-3 were better and after that it whent down hill but i wouldnt go as far to say that
Just throwing this out there too. Since Waw and Cod4, games have decreased in good gamrplay for me also..
