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.

TTg_cntbanusallliqour_man Please don't fuuck up halo anymore. Just put the ranking system of 2 and 3 back in, battle rifle and take out the abilities. I know, sounds like downgrading halo but that's what made it good. My opinionMany people don't relize that 343i has ben developing halo right along side BUNGIE sense halo 1. BUNGIE is the ones that ruined halo, they got to carried away with elites and the n00b parts, like jet packs, and the ranking. 343i will most likely take it back to the basics and make an awsome game, similar to halo 1-2 and 3. I'm glad BUNGIE is gone. They completely ruined Halo Reach, with the ranking. It would have been a decent game if you couldn't use all those noob powerups and it had a ranking system similar to halo 2. Then it would be more competitive and 100x better!
then why is 343 putting in this gay ass jet pack shit seriously wtf

TheBrownGuy Cool, hopefully Halo 4 is good since bungie isnt making it
Wow.. just wow..
You never liked any of the previous halos!? Bungie did a great job of making halos imo, Halo reach was a bit of a let down when compared to the rest but i still enjoyed it. Bungie were good halo creators and i genuinely have no idea how you didn't think that..
