Melee Problems?

Anyone having problems with melee in Halo Infinite? Most of the time when I’m in a melee fight, i know that i swing first before they able to swing at me but it didn’t register but they manage to melee me. Or the balance of melee damage cause sometimes I get killed with one melee punch without no damage before the hit or getting hit from the back. And people manage to melee me twice so quickly like how? Another scenario is where i manage to shot someone twice with a BR and i punched him but he didn’t die but when he shot me once and then punched me, i died.

The melees are so broken right now it’s unacceptable…… I had a match 49 to 49 was about assaisinate OS and lost the game…but there is no melee lunge range currently it’s terrible… everyone over here worried about a battle pass let’s get the core mechanics right first…. I’m hoping it’s a bug come December 8th….

I find the melee distance to be inconsistent. Also, it seems like some players can melee twice dramatically before me? Not sure what exactly is going on.

Agreed. I’ve had multiple “wtf” moments with the melee mechanic.

I haven’t done any testing in a private match or anything, but it really does feel like I am way close enough for a melee to connect but I swing it and nothing happens, then enemy turns around, fists me and off I go to respawn.

But like I said, I could very much be wrong and just have bad luck but yes, melee does feel very inconsistent. Especially since even when I go in to finish the enemy with a melee, somehow we both end up dead 90% of the time. Rarely if ever does only one person die in a fistfight.

Yeah ive noticed the melee lunge is completely dead

It’s really messed up. Also hate it being on my joystick because it accidentally goes off when I shoot - tried remapping it and if you’re not perfectly square the melee has no aim assist so I can’t leave my joystick to press the button. It’s horrible.
