Why are blanks a thing? Blank melee, blank bullets whatever you wanna call them, you get my point. Im not trying to bash anyone, I’m genuinely trying to understand. I thought maybe it was just my internet so of course I went and upgraded, put the game on a ssd, got a one x, blah blah blah(note* I did not upgrade solely for H5 but it was a big part…because well, HALO❤)…and yet the blanks, they still exist and unfortunately they’re still frustrating enough for me to come here and ask why they exist…soo could someone please drop some knowledge, and help me understand?
Server issues. It’s the exact same reason heavy aim is a thing as well. I have a clip recorded of me missing a back smack on sniper on plaza. My spartan lunges forward, smack, and nothing happens. Dude ends up killing me. It’s frustrating for sure.
My connection is hardwired, speeds are fine…I guess it’s just something we gotta deal with man.
Servers have been a little janky the past couple of months. In the past, I would very rarely have any sort of temporary freezing in-game. Now, it’s at least once per match where everything stops, but I’m able to move around and land shots on the enemy. Once the game unfreezes, I either get a kill or my teammate does. It’s a total toss up.
So the problem is desync, it occurs often cuz the game is handled asynchronously from client to server. This is a thing in every game now, so you can sometimes experience similar issues in other games.
If you were to YY out of every reload animation, there is a likelihood that you would have to do a double reload, which is how H2-H4 handled such problems.
Melee is an odd one since lots of things can affect it, including but not limited to:
- Map geometry - Spartans crouching, reloading, and their general movement - Lag and/or desyncNot really much way to fix it. There are times where it will happen but you just have to be prepared for your melee to not work properly
This game has been a disaster lately. Especially if you don’t have a server right close to you which most in the US don’t because they placed them so poorly. I quit playing back in like April because it was so bad. Just got back on for the first time since then this week to try it again and it’s actually worse now. Very disappointing and is definitely a forshadow of how trash halo infinite will be if they ever get around to finishing it.
Like every other reply the servers are messed up or something
