this is infuriating and happens multiple times a play session. I shoot the guy, he doesn’t shoot me, I melee him and then he melees me (while I have full shield and health) and I’m the one who dies. This is rage inducing and makes no sense. Does my shield drop for using melee? Pretty sure it doesn’t. Can’t imagine I’m the only one, I know I’m not since my friends say it happens. Why is there no other topics on this?
Warzone? Either he has a weapon bayonet or the increase strength armor mod.
Happens to me all the time in arena along with many other infuriating things.
I’ve noticed this in arena a few times, seems like a bug.
Arena and slayer, don’t play war zone.
I get this all the time…even worse is when you know you’re on full shield, you’ve emptied a clip into their back, then they turn round, melee you and YOU die. Seriously WTF?! (and yes, happens regularly in arena).
Another annoyance is melee someone and they also melee you, but they are able to draw their weapon much much quicker for the final shot. I can only blame or attribute this to bad latency in the game.
Are you in EU or elsewhere OP?
States. Yes, I hate the weapon draw after melee or double shoulder dash as well. That may never be fixed, but the one hit should be a no brainer
Well there goes my server theory out the window then! Do you have a particularly bad internet connection or fairly decent?
This happens to me in warzone and I’m betting its a bayonet or strength boost, or both lol. If it happens in slayer and arena, well idk what to tell ya
Operating on 40mb, not the best, but most certainly not the worst. I mean, everything else goes smooth in other situations, it’s just this one thing that is irritating.
If you are sprinting a lot and not letting your shields recharge completely could be the problem, or a number of other reasons.
No sprinting
Maybe he’s spartan charging you because the time it takes to charge up is pretty low? You might not notice depending on how close or far they are to you.
I’ve literally NEVER had this happen.
I thought this was a SWAT post, which is why I viewed it.
SWAT Melee damage needs to be reduced to 40%.
OT; again; never had this happen, sounds like connection issues.
heres a quick and example. i catch a guy by surprise but we are close, I shoot a little ar as I approach, he doesn’t, then I melee. While he’s still standing in one spot he melees me back and I die. It’s not a spartan charge, I see the melee action. There’s a couple other posters on here that say it happens to them and it happens just as much to my two friends I play with. I made this account here because I’ve searched high and low and saw one thread where a guy mentioned it but no response to his thread responded to that part of all his complaints. Everything else in the game is fair fight so I find it hard to believe it’s a connection issue just for melee.
Lag/connection
Yeah it happens in Arene & Warzone for me

Pretty sure there are signs of people using that when it happens like the player running towards the player before the melee and yet I’ve seen people casually walking around and instant kill me from the front with full shields…either way a melee charges takes a bit of time, not instant like I’ve seen unless they’ve somehow glitch the instant charge so it’s stuck on spartan charge.
I thought this only happened to me, and that it was either my connection being bad or just me being bad (both are true anyway). But recently I started purposefully letting the other guy move in for the first melee, and then getting the second one on them, and when I do that they usually are the ones to die. So it seems like a thing, especially if other people are noticing it. I really hate it - I hate getting the first few shots in, then a melee, and then being the one to die.
Glad its not just me on the receiving end of this! I’ll try to try your technique Lap Demon but not sure I could intentionally take a punch!
