- It’s a high risk/high reward ability like the ground pound. (you risk missing leaving you vulnerable, dropping your shields, etc) - you can hear it coming which makes for very amusing ninjas and back smacks: https://youtu.be/pwR9kYWV0Sk (so don’t blame your radar) - very easy to counter head on with close range weapons. grenades. and even side stepping/side thrusting.
I like it for the most part. It’s a bit frustrating getting plowed by some dude running around like an idiot, but I counter it more than I lose to it.

same. 
I hate it for the most part…although it is refreshing if you can do it to a camper, especially on Coliseum.
I love Spartan Charge. It’s been able to get me out of very tight situations when I needed it.
as a person in the top 3% for SC kills i can say i love it but it is very very niche
running around an arena match (or even warzone) trying to get “cheap kills” with it is harder than most think
they call it “noobish” but they are just mad they dont have map awareness
I wouldn’t say it’s OP, but it seems too prevalent. It’s used too often. Many player do use it as a crutch, when it should be more of an alternative.
I sprint too much and I charge more often than is necessary or sensible, so I die a lot more than I should.
it has is fun to watch people miss with it
I like it.
Once some guy missed his charge and ended up in the blast radius of my nade giving me a double kill. Another time, I completely would have missed a charge, but the guy thrusted right into me instead of away. Too good.
I also dig when people charge right into a corner.
yeah… that radar was absolute bull in that match, the second they pop up on radar is when its too damn late to do anything.
I call BS on that. And Excuse me, Hear them coming? Unless its as quiet as that situation was, which most of the times its NOT (Mainly a warzone player) you’re not going to be hearing that person coming with explosions, gun fire, and communicating team mates. The only way you’ll hear that is if you’re rocking some turtle beaches or Astros.
So again BS
Spartan charge is the DUMBEST thing they could have added to this game, “Herp a derp, lets reward them for running head on to an enemy and mashing the melee button! Derp!”
-343i
And don’t say ground pound is a nooby thing, you at least have to aim and time that crap. Spartan Charge can actually ruin my game and make me stop playing Halo 5, its just as bad as promethean vision (Hey! Another crutch) and the f-ing boltshot (Halo 4 version of course)
I can usually boost away from them. Usually.

Very valid point…you can’t hear that nonsense in the middle of a battle or while someone on your team has some crappy music blaring in your ear.
I’ve gotten used to it, and honestly its preeetty fun to lay mother -Yoinks!- out.
The mechanic that peeves me the most is the assassinations. I just wanna backwap someone and move on but I accidentally do the animation and end up dying cuz I’m frozen there for 2 seconds while the guy calls me out to his teammates.

Turn it off then
I have loyally played all halo games from day one "the original Xbox. Beat them all on legendary many times each. Now I almost can’t play them for lack of the charge. I would gladly trade all the armor gimmicks for the Sprint and spartan charge. After H4 I was worried about the future of the only game I play but 343 did a slam bang job on H5 maybe the best halo out to date. Just IMO
i love it because it feels like the shoulder charge in destiny. It just feels soooooo satisfying
I do have a problem with the ability to sprint and at any time be able to charge and kill someone. I thought of an idea last night that could work, but 343 would never implement it.
Everyone knows when your shields are down you have to stop sprinting to recharge. When you stop you see the bar at the top move to the left, then the shields recharge. Why not have a similar meter start counting down once you hit full sprint? …Have it countdown five seconds, and once the time is up and you hit the bumper, it just melees, instead of charging. This would stop everyone just sprinting all over the place charging, and it would make it a timing move, as opposed to a cheap kill.

YOU CAN DO THAT?!
REALLY? 
I like to -Yoink!- and hit bodies that just tried to spartan charge me.

Yup yup, in the settings. Just not as flashy or fun
