Oh enough with all the lame excuses.
It doesn't what crap they used to try and excuse themselves for not even trying to rebalance the game, they put zero effort into it. End of the day you are a Big Daddy, old model or not. You are still wearing a suit of armour and you are so squishy its laughable. Medkits litter the landscape and you need almost constant medical attention in fights against mini-boss types like the Big Sister. The feel is identical to the first. It would have been very simple to give you more health, more damage reduction and simply reduce the number of medkits or even alter how they work (ie, make healing a gradual process not instant) just to change the feel to combat.
