The melee bash while sprinting and the melee slam from the air both are the worst additions to Halo ever. Trying to melee someone while in the air without accidentally charging the ‘slam’ ( I don’t know what it’s called ) takes too much attention to focusing on tapping the melee button really fast -.-. It’s worse than trying to assassinate someone without doing the animation in H4 and Reach. Also, the lunge on the melee bash while sprinting is absolutely ridiculous. These two features alone have ruined H5 for me.
Also, button presses are very laggy. I’m guessing confirmation is being sent to the host before it actually lets you sprint, which would be down right dumb. I hate pressing sprint 5 or more times to start sprinting away when I need to escape. Half the time I die because of it
I don’t know what crazy thing they were trying to do with Aiming, but it’s terrible. I have to play on 8-9 sensitivity and 5 Acceleration to get it to feel similar to previous Halos, but it still feels weird and unlike anything I want to use.
I hate when they try to Re-invent the game.
I know none of these will ever get fixed, so it’s MCC ( as glitchy as that is ) until Halo 6 comes out…
Maybe it would help if they added a permanent BR start playlist ( not a weekend special like the Doubles Playlist atm )
I dont experiance well any of these problems. I have experienced the stick that occasionally happens when aiming but thats about it. Dont hold the button when you melee or else you are going to do the slam
I actually have to make a conscious decision to not ‘hold’ the button for longer than like a quart of a second in order to perform a melee while in the air. Meanwhile, while they’re on the ground, they perform the melee attack immediately when the press the button. It’s flawed. I see now that Ground Pound, Spartan Charge, Stopping Power, and Time to max Sprint Speed are options you can change in the game type. If they could make a playlist with those turned off, Time to max sprint speed set to 200%, and a BR/DMR start then Halo 5 would be amazing.
It’s piss easy to dodge a Spartan Charge from the front. Just thrust to the side before they do the charge animation. If you’re getting hit from behind, then Spartan Charge wouldn’t be the problem, because Sprint and a regular bash would do the same thing.
If anything, Ground Pound is worse if they’ve already started the animation, and the 360 slam.
Ground pound should be separately mappable from melee. This problem has affected me way too many times. I’m in the air, I press melee, and I don’t melee - because I didn’t “unpress” the button. It’s definitely way too conflated. I liked it in the beta more when ground pound was coupled with the crouch button, and I would personally set it to that if given the option.
I’ve never had any of these issues. I hate to ask, but do you just have crappy internet? High ping? I seemingly have a single digit ping in any game I ever play, so I can’t really say I know what that’s like, but I never have these issues that people complain about.
If it’s crappy internet, its really not 343’s fault. What youre describing really sounds like lag.
Skill has nothing to do with it. I’m not a casual. I’m past halfway with the campaign on Legendary.
The point is, Spartan Charge and Ground Pound completely ruin the game in every way. I’m actually going to set up some game types with the settings that they should actually be to make it a great game and start hosting a lot of custom games. That’s the only way I’ll be able to play this game and actually enjoy it.

I have anywhere from 9-13 ping. I have 228MB Download and 18MB Upload. Connection should not be an issue with me lol
Only thing I’d change about both abilities would be the option to turn them off like assassinations. I hardly ever use them anyways since to me they just seem like overly flashy moves that get you killed.
I find Ground Pound to be very well balanced, it has a relatively long charge-up time and you can hear it, so even if your back is turned you have a chance to survive it.

I like the Spartan Charge in someways, I use it quite a little and rarely ever get killed by it, the small radar makes it way worse though. I do agree however with the ground pound, I tried to get air assassinations and punch someone below me only to initiate the ground pound.
The ‘problems’ you’re experiencing sound like user error to me. If you have to consciously remind yourself to only TAP for melee that sounds like your issue, not the game.
Yeah I get annoyed with the Spartan charge, but its part of the game. Learn to deal with it and counter it. Thats what good players do.
