This happened everytime I tried to get away using the man cannon on Haven. I am running away, back turned to my enemy and he is using the assault rifle shooting me in the back yet I am being slowed down. I am not running at them, that should not be happening. I really should be going faster.
It isn’t a flaw, it is intentional.
After the outcry of how Sprint worked in Halo: Reach, 343i changed how it worked in Halo 4 so when you were shot while Sprinting, you would be slowed down to an extent.

LMFAO. That was honestly hilarious.Thank you OP for the good laugh.
The reason this happens is for gameplay reasons not physical reasons. Sprint has been nerfed such that you now move slower when being shot so ppl can’t just run away from fights like they did in Reach. This is supposed to reward smarter players who do not put themselves in bad situations.
