Nomad's armor can only do one thing at a time; Chief's armor does everything at once, and he doesn't have to activate anything, unlike Nomad. Nomad will have a hard time hitting Chief from afar with the Gauss Rifle, since Chief not only had enhanced speed, but his motion tracker will show him where Nomad is, even if he is stealthed.
