I can’t be the only one who noticed this… I’ve died countless times from being shoved into the line of fire after bouncing off a teammate.
Why does this happen? It’s a bizarre problem for a game to have.
Ha yeah I’ve noticed this, I’ve also noticed how when you’re running away from a few enemies firing at you, if a team mate bumps into you then you’re instantly a sitting duck as he pushes you along with him. So annoying.
I’ve never bounced, but I’ve died due to being pushed by a teammate. Actually on several occasions I’ve been trying to run one direction to get to cover, and an idiot teammate walking out of said cover pushes me back out into the open as he marches along to wherever. I just want to know why I seem to get pushed, but I never push other people.
I don’t think it’s just the teammate’s fault. I think there’s some kind of mechanic built into the game to cause people to bounce off one another… It happens to me at least twice a game, I’ll be running away from fire and I’ll bounce off a teammate and die.
Of course, it’s not like this will be fixed in our lifetimes. 343i isn’t bothering to even acknowledge some of the bigger problems we’ve had since launch ( lack of connection filter, host selection, lack of classic playlist etc), let alone fix them.
Interesting, though, that no-one seems to have mentioned this up till now. Been driving me nuts.
This has always been the case, as far as I can remember anyway. H3 and Reach had it.
Sprint makes it worse, but it is usually your team mates fault.
They will spawn, and without a care in the world, will charge foward into battle.
They will spawn right in front of you as you are retreating, causing the collision.
If you are aware of spawns, you can reduce the frequency of this.
It will happen on other occasions too. Usually just bad luck, but I think sprint seems to increase the distance you are thrown back into the line of fire. It feels like you are a slot car or a pin ball bouncing around sometimes, when you exit sprint and bump into another player!
A very arcade feeling indeed…
If it has always been there, it wasn’t noticeable without sprint.
I think it would be safe to call this a bug.
While it was in previous Halo’s (pushing afk’s off cliffs rofl) its worse in H4 and theres no need to it as it just adds frustration and people getting killed.
