I know that it is a sci-fi story, but since when have you ever seen someone pull a weapon out of his back? You forget that the Spartans are super fast so it could be slowed down slightly, but not like a normal Marine's reaction time.
The story is sci-fi, but that does not mean that the gameplay can't be true to militaristic tactics, if Bungie didn't follow their criticism we probably would not have the weapon set we now have in Halo 2.
The Master Chief should have a holster or backpack to store his weapon in. It does not seem right otherwise.
As for Legendary, make them more intelligent and in greater numbers the farther up you go. One of the reasons that Halo 2 Legendary was not fun is because your enemies were impossibly strong. They could do it like this.
1. Easy - Enemies may perform basic tactics, but will be mostly harmless.
2. Normal - Aliens will be in greater numbers but will still use basic tactics.
3. Heroic - Aliens will be in even greater numbers and will perform tactical maneuvers on you (cover fire, flanking, etc.)
4. Legendary - Enemies will be more accurate, in greater numbers, and will have an arsenal of tactical maneuvers to try to stop you with.
Think about it, Halo 2 Legendary relied on the PP/BR combo, what fun is there in using only one or two weapon sets?
