Does anyone want to explain melee to me?

so far my understanding is: that with a full shield sometimes one hit can kill you and sometimes it takes two. i’ve also melee’d opponents with no shield and haven’t killed them. no clue how it works

Two words: [s]hit registration.

This game has terrible netcode compared to previous iterations of Halo games, so it’ll often times just not register the damage you deal.

Yeah its a coin flip if your damage goes through or not
