What is going on with them? I know my melee button works!
343 fix this!!!
You’re not being very specific; can you describe what’s happening with your melee attacks?

They are not registering… or they register- but I get what seems to be some sort of swing animation- instead of a straight punch.

Sounds like ghost melees; you throw a punch at someone and make contact, but they don’t take damage, right?

Sometimes. In other cases- I don’t even get a melee at all. I feel like I melee way before the enemy does and nothing happens- until after I’m the one already being meleed- that’s when I feel my melee animation going. Whenever I try to go for a trade- trades are pretty much nonexistent now.

I’m thinking two more possibilities:
- You’re not close enough to initiate a melee lunge and you throw a punch into thin air instead. - You’re within melee range and start lunging towards your target, only to somehow miss entirely. (happens a lot with the Energy Sword)Could these describe your issue?

Nope because I know how a melee would look like if I missed.
I’m starting to think that it’s connection based

If it comes down to connection issues, I recommend restarting your internet router by either unplugging it for 30 seconds before plugging it back in, or holding down the reset button on the unit itself - you’ll need a toothpick for this - and wait a couple of minutes for your network to come back. Try playing on a hardwired internet connection if possible too.
This generally flushes out some of the more stubborn issues in the process and has payed dividends for me.

You might be right on the wired connection- but you do know that hitting that reset button resets your whole router- right- including its current settings?

No need to be afraid, restarting your router will simply refresh your network. I’ve done it multiple times in the past and my settings have never altered themselves for the worst. Trust me.

I’m telling you, it’ll work. If I wasn’t serious on helping you fix your issues in the first place, I wouldn’t have given you suggestions on helping you out. But if it’s gotten to that point by now, I’m afraid you’re on your own… :\

It’s just lag… Happens to me daily. Your getting in matches with other countries around the world. I heard a player speaking… I guess Japanese the other day… That was a first for me, usually it’s Spanish and the game is lag city. Go to settings/network. If you’re NAT is open good. Go to detailed and check your net stats. Latency should be around 50 give or take with 0 packet loss, your network is fine.
Agreed on lag. I’d add - spartan charging through people without it registering as a hit + b.s. spartan charging a player only to have them (while flying backward) spartan charge you back - to the melee issues.

It’s doing the same thing again like when they took region lock off a couple of years or more ago. I’ll be inside a base and all of sudden I’m outside the base trying to figure out where I am… lol.

I’ll have to dig through my videos to find examples.
In the first one, it seems to happen mainly when the game is really choppy or the opposing player is extremely laggy. You will see them on your screen and spartan charge, but the game decides somewhere between the start and end that the opposing player isn’t in the place anymore, so it ends up looking like you just teleported through them.
In the second one, I’m not sure what is happening, but it happens a lot since the most recent update. You connect with the spartan charge, but they spartan charge right back a frame or two into them flying backward due to your charge hit.

Ahhh… this sounds a lot like lag
