Has anyone else been having trouble with hit detection or damage counts over the last week? Some games I can hit a guy in the head with pistol br light rifle but it takes twice as many shots to put somebody down. Then when I grab rail gun the bolt will literally fly through them with no damage given. Oh and earlier today me and a buddy both melee a guy he in front me in back the guy takes no damage and we both die from a grenade yet the guy we should have totally owned walks away with shields?? Then literally the next game things work perfect again just to break for 5 more games!!!
This was an issue for me yesterday but I was having my own personal connection issues and I couldn’t really connect to Halo 5 guardian’s servers. Could be that as well for you
Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking but all my connection tests on live and computers are coming up normal.
I was actually talking to a friend about that yesterday. We would play together and neither of us could kill anyone. I used up a spartan laser trying to shoot down one of the banshee bosses in warzone. Completely shot through it 5 or 6 times.
Hit registration is one of the many things Ive been having problems with in this game. One of my last games I emptied an entire magnum clip into the head of an enemy with no shields. Not only did the enemy player not die, but he was able to locate me from across the map, and take me down by spraying assault rifle while I reloaded the now empty clip I put into his head.
That said, the game is already in better shape than it was in beta, but it still needs work. All the things im annoyed with can be fixxed with patches, its just the waiting for said patches that gets to me.
Yeah sounds like what I’m experiencing. I don’t know maybe I’ve angered the Halo gods somehow.
Honestly may have experienced that in Multiplayer, but I definitely know I’ve experienced it in Campaign… Warden didn’t want to accept my Incineration Cannon shots
I get this more noticeable with SWAT where its clearly a head shot but no-go.
Its apparent in the odd arena game type but less frequent.
I have been in fine for the most part.
If I where you I would go to the zone of settings and do a multiplayer connection test. When it’s done, press all the buttons on the back og the controller at once, and read of the detailed network information. I believe it’s rb, lb, and the shoot and aim “buttons”.
It sounds like a network problem. 
Ive only experienced with in some cases with the railgun. Sometimes in the magnum when bullet appears to have partially hit the guy. Like umpires call in cricket reviews. But I know its caused by bad ping
30 ms ping 100 upload and download in all tests…
Yea i have noticed this with head shots and melees that when you attempt to hit them it ends up back fire-ring
Glad I’m not the only one. What’s sad is that this week of Halo 5 has given me more problems then my last year with MCC (I was extremely lucky and never had problems).
