Ok, now you are just going over the top. "A backflip before throwing them"? Stop it.
You have clearly never heard of extreme case reasoning. Its where you exagerate on purpous to prove a certain point. In this case, I am exagerating your wants for "awesome moves" to show how silly it seems to me. Its a good tool to utilize to win your arguements, I suggest learning to use it.
You clearly know very little about the real world. A spin kick will generate more kenetic energy, and will result in a more powerfull blow than if you just punched someone.
I clearly know little about the real world and "kinetic" energy eh? Heres a little problem that you have overlooked however, if you are a spartan, and you can kill someone by punching them why waste the time doing a spinning kick to accomplish the same result?
[Warning: Following paragraph may contain a Extreme Case Reasoning. Continue Reading at your own risk.]
Its like trying to fish catch fish by using a pistol. Its more expensive, and doesn't really get you a better result than catching the fish using a rod.
As for the grenade-in-mouth thing, it was not meant to be flashy at all. It was meant to be Brutal.
Brutal for what reason? Does Master Chief hate the Covenant? Did they kill his wife and children? Did he set out on a personal vendetta to slaughter them all? No. Its all about motivation. He is simply a soldier, following orders to protect humanity. He doesn't have time to hate his enemies. He just wants to get the mission done as fast as possible. Thats what millitary training from the age of six does to a person. It creates efficient killers. So it would seem a bit odd to see a spartan all of a sudden doing these brutal things, and would make me scratch my head as the player, and destroys the suspension of disbelief that the game had maintained to that point.
Did I mention "spinning" a jackal around? No. What I said was this: Grab their arm, and rip it off. Simple
But in a battle of simplicity, just breaking their spine with a beatdown works, which is all that matters.
LOL...Just because you diddn't lose your family does not mean you cannot do brutal things on the battlefield. Many people have been asking for a darker halo, and I agree. Killing using tactics such as ripping limbs and shouving grenades in the mouth's of enemies will make this game darker, while providing entertainment at the same time. Also, Spartan's can't kill a Brute in a single punch, I don't think they can kill an Elite in a single punch either (Maybe they can, I'm not completely sure).
Watch this to the end:

Moves such as "spin kicking" were not created to look fancy, they were created to be effective, and happen to look "fancy" in the proccess. Besides, it would be really dissapointing to see the same old walk, jump, melee gameplay that is 8 years old as I mentioned before. Things like this new combat system will enhance the Halo experience.
Dude, just stop.
Gears of War has all this ridiculous, over the top summer blockbuster moves, because that's it's angle.
But, in actuality, it makes no sense. Why am I going to pick up a Grunt, rip of its mask, force a grenade into it's mouth, and then toss it into a group of enemies? I can just shoot the Grunt, throw a grenade, and BAM. Same result, but it doesn't look stupid.
Second of all, why the hell are the Spartans going to spin kick an Alien instead of shooting it in the face? They give them guns for a reason, you know.
And thirdly, Master Chief didn't "Rip Apart" ODST's with his bare hands, he killed one, and injured two. And that was on a wrestling mat, not in the middle of a battle.
