Infected Thrust

How does everyone feel about the Infected players having thrust? If I recall correctly, the majority of the community didn’t like that Infected players had that trait because it gave an unfair advantage to the Infected. Now, this isn’t a deal breaker for me but I feel they shouldn’t have thrust.

Thoughts?

As long as they die with one head shot, I will make do.

no its sucked because the thrust in 4 was broken, it shot the infected too far and the spartans had no way to properly counter it. In this the spartans have ALL the abilities to counter the thrust.

What I am worried about is smart link, it increases the sword lunge dramatically, I hope it has been slightly nerfed for the infected, not a lot, just enough.

As long as in custom games it can be turned off, then I’m all good with it.

It’s hilarious that they even had abilities like thrust in Halo 4 because when you look closely, they obviously wore only the MJOLNIR bodysuits, not the actual armour.

Aim for the head, and the thrusters will fall.

We will have to wait and see

Survivors get thrust too so what’s the problem with infected having thrust?
How does it give them an advantage?
Infected might get a slower thrust recharge.

No one will know until the gameplay

If one shot to the head kills im on board.

I won’t be able to judge how I feel about it until I’ve played a few rounds.

As long as it isn’t broken like Halo 4’s was.
I got kills on there I probably shouldn’t’ve gotten.

This^
I’d be more worried about the Smart Link (zoom) for the swords, than the thrust.
Spartans get all the abilities.

Let’s just hope they have completely balanced Infection so no side holds a huge advantage straight from release.

I doubt that this time it’ll make them fly across the map like it did before.
