I feel your pain. Having this problem as well. Leads me to avoiding melee as much as possible, which makes my gameplay worse, because melee is quiet strong, but so inconsistent.
I keep coming back to Infinite ranked, but I’ll take days off because the melee and shot registration frustrate me soooo much. Last night there was at least 2 or 3 instances each game where my head shots aren’t registering to clean up low shields. This type of stuff costs wins and ranking. Idk why in 2021 this is a problem.
I hope 343 gets their heads out of their -Yoink!- and fixes this issue because this happens all the time when I’m playing multiplayer. It doesn’t even matter what game type I’ve have literally gone for a melee 3 times on the same opponent with out it registering AND shields are down, how in the hell am I the one who dies. It is the exact same for head shots too. Two thumbs down absolutely for the multiplayer right now.
I Agree with you. Im gonna Delete it. Im just keeping it till the end of season 2 since i purchased the season pass. Its a headache to play its so inconsistant. Also why cant i seem to be able to kill people with the hammer? I saved a video where i smaked a player from behind (with the hammer) and i took down the shield bounced him forward he emmediately retaliated with his own hammer and I die. I remember when the hammer was an automatic kill when landed. Its just not enjoyable, i want to play and relax just like all the halos before, now its just inconsistent garbage.
