Beat down glitch in matchmaking

This has bothered me for a long time, and at first I thought I just had to get used to the controllers in Halo 5, but I have come to realize this is a massive problem.

It´s maybe not as much of a glitch as it is a fault with the entire game. I am of course talking about the Beat Down reaction time when jumping.
Try for yourself and you see what I mean. Simply jump and spam the melee button to see how much of a delay it is before you are able to preform the melee. This is a huge problem for me, as I have a built in reaction to jump and melee the head of my opponent when this caused you to hopefully dodge the enemies melee in previous Halo titles.

This causes a lot of headache when I don´t get to trade kills when it´s a close quarters encounter. I bet others than me have this problem.
Why is there delay in the first place? Am I supposed to believe that a super-soldier with a highly advanced armor aren´t able to punch someone while jumping?!

There are also problems with the melee in matchmaking where it does not deal damage at all, especially when the melee causes a lunge, but hopefully this is a problem soon to be fixed.

But how on earth can my jumping-melee problem have been neglected for so long?! Don´t you guys notice this?
It should be jump-punch, not jump… airtime… “oh what´s that? you want me to do something” PUNCH! Fix it please!

It’s not a glitch. It is caused by ground pound since to activate ground pound, you have to be in the air and hold the melee button. That’s why there is a small delay, the game doesn’t know if what action you want to perform. It’s pain, but I don’t think they intend to fix it.

If they don´t intend to fix it, at least give me the option to turn ground pound off! jeez. I would trade the ground pound away for no beat down delay any time!

Yeah it’s a pain. Lost many ninjas this way

This problem made me freak out a lot , also I ve noticed that if u r using bumper jumper the melee set on rb has a significant delay that gives u a HUGE disadvantage … Fix that -Yoink- please

i changed the button config to default and the melee is much faster , i mean , how can be possible that 343 screwed up even the button configuration ??
so disappointed

disappointed indeed! don´t they realize how many of us have gotten used to bumper jumper and that this should be an advantage? the reason why I switched to it many years ago was to jump-scope and jump-melee more efficiently, not to have it delay my melee and not get my close quarter kills!
