Has anyone else who played the Halo 5 Beta noticed how your weapon starts flailing around erratically when you take damage from an opponent? I dont know why, but it seriously bothered me to no-end, and i dont understand why its there…its never been in any previous Halo game. It might seem like a small thing, but i find it extremely distracting. When you’re firing your weapon (particularly the assault rifle) while getting shot, its flying all over the place! If you never noticed it go back and watch a video you can never unsee it. I hope 343 removes that animation, its distracting and looks borderline comical at times. But yeah whatever, no one will even see this/care
I was going to comment on how it looks like someone jerking around pretending to be shot (like Sonny Corleone’s death scene in the Godfather) but apparently “no one will even see this/care”, so …
… guess I didn’t see it 
But seriously, it didn’t bother me. I mean, it never crossed my mind until you just mentioned it, but now that you did, I know what you’re talking about. I suppose if bullets are splashing against you flickering, failing shields, it may me a bit difficult to hold still.

343i has stated already that flinch was present in the beta and was a bug that was fixed after the beta was released and won’t be present in the final version of the game. Descope however will be there so if you zoom in with a weapon and youre shot you will be taken out of zoom. This could cause a more exaggerated flinch but the initial flailing of the weapon won’t be present anymore.

You’re welcome kind stranger. 
It’s already confirmed that this will be removed.
