Ground Pound/Spartan Charge prevent assassinations

They add some cool new assassinations to unlock… but whats the point? You cant run behind an enemy player for more then a secound without going into Spartan Charge.
Sure, you can ram them smack dab in the back to kill them but if your off by an inch youll just break their shields.

So you can A: Thrust forward canceling the Spartan Charge then hold your melee button and hopefully get the assassination
B: Slid also ending the charge and hopefully landing an assassination

Or you a combination of the two like I find myself doing a lot. There should be a option to turn Spartan Charge off in Arena and Warzone. I know there breakable walls that you need Spartan Charge to break through but they could fix it so you could melee it a few times, pop a gernade at it, or even shoot a rocket down on it. Spartan Charge isnt a feature this game absolutely needs to have so the players should have the option to switch it off in matchmaking

The easiest way to confuse another player and assassinate them to me and a whole lot of other players from Halo Reach to Halo 4 was jumping over them and catching their back and snappin dat neck! But nope, in Halo 5 they figured players would much rather Just get a beat down by tapping the melee button once (which for me still has a delay I have to double tap it) or float a few feet off the ground and slam into the ground if you were lucky enough not to get kill while floating. Even if you land a hit its not enough to kill them from that height.

What they need to do is make it an option to turn off or set a height limit so you have to be so far off the ground to use it.

I just feel Halo 5 would be better off without these features what do you guys think?

I do agree with you, about being able to turn the spartan charge on/off. Becuse you can turn assasination on/off already… so why would you not be given the option…

I feel the spartan charge is broken most times… i’ve tried soooo many times to first shoot someone 1-3 times then rush and charge, ending up with no kill, but the dude i was charging ended up melee’ing me with 1 strike… what is up with that!?
And i’ve been on the receving end of a charge, taken no shots just 1 charge and it insta killed me… it’s just stupid…

I deffinitely agree something should be done about making it go into the assassination when charging from behind. Ive been disappointed several times about this. I thought it was just me but its good to know its everyone else too. ty for ranting for me

Maybe there’s no need for cancelling the spartan charge. If you can hold the melee buton you get the assessination and if you just press it you get the spartan charge. That would be great.

I hated the charge. I don’t hate it because it a skill I may or may not have mastered but it get in the way of performing assassination. If we have to have a charge, reassign the charge button and not have it shared with the assassination. That will give us all the option on what we wish to do.

I completely agree!

I haven’t had too many kills using it but I do feel like spartan charge is a cheap way to get instant kills. What I have noticed people doing is when CQC, you can activate sprint while facing a wall and so long as you are not perpendicular to the wall you’ll keep on running. Well once the spartan charge threshold is crossed they smack me in the face.

Agreed

Maybe have a Spartan charge into an assassination? Wow that sounds bad nvm

Would be cool to go into a charge assassination. Such as tackling them and stabbing. Or tackling and breaking their neck.

there should just be a setting for it like there is for the hover while aiming setting

There should be a quick on/off option on the D-Pad so you’re not always going to your settings.
