Halo needs spartan charge about as much as it needs a bad community, which sadly is kinda been surrounding it in the last few years. Unlike many who complain here, I like Halo 5, I like it a-lot but there is soooo much that needs changing BUT, the game is rediculously fun and addictive. HOWEVER spartan charge is the single biggest monstrocity of a mechanic that I have seen since ordinance drops in halo 4 or armor abilities in reach. it needs to be thrown into a deep hole, doused with gasoline and sent to the firey pits of hell from which it came. And whats worse is after this update… if you have a speed boost IT INSTA KILLS… so now at the begining of the match we have a bunch of morons in warzone sprinting into your base with speed boosts and instakilling you with a SC. NO 343… JUST NO
I love your game but have you NO sympathy for halo veterans? This is a STUPID mechanic, not only does it need to go, but by making it more powerful your just making it WORSE. Sure, it makes SENSE that you hurl 1 ton moujnir armor at someone and it kills them but the simple fact is, its enraging and sometimes it can be downright gamebreaking.
I’m just thankful that this doesn’t affect Arena.
It makes me ask what purpose Spartan Charge would serve outside of a Simulation.
Because everyone loved and never complained about the “noob combo” but wait we have a ‘new noob tactic’ then yes we should go to the forums and let everyone know while saying our grievances about it.

I guess we can send it to Doom when it comes out then…

Keep that stuff away from DOOM. Unless you are saying that Doomguy should get a chainsaw and rip it in half. Then I have no problem with that.
That sentence about gasoline and hell is so cruel. Love it , i agree.

Doom probably doesnt want it either. sprint is the redheaded step-child that can’t do math…
and has a learning disability…

Noob combo takes some serious skill to execute properly in a gunfight
Do you know that someone out there likes spartan charge right? Think about it while you sleep.
It insta-kills with speed boost? What the -Yoink-?! I just want it to be removed from Breakout…please 343…pleeeeaaassseeee…

There probably is, and chances are he or she is around ages 8-12
I think Spartan Charge charge shouldn’t be an insta kill with the speed boost, but with extra strenght it should. So a regular spartan charge with speed boost can be the same, maybe with increased knockback, while a spartan charge with extra strength and with or without speed boost can insta kill.
I don’t play war zone much but I agree 100% Spartan charge needs to be nerfed. I play mostly arena and it completely ruins the competitive atmosphere of the game. I have no issue with sprint, in fact in h5 Sprint is well balanced, you cannot Sprint while being shot, shields don’t recharge. The problem with the shoulder charge lies in its ability to lock on allowing it to still hit you even if you move. Here’s the scenario, you Sprint after about one second your reticule changes letting you know Spartan chArge can now be activated, once your reticule turn red you are locked on and no amount of jumping or thrusting will let you evade the one ton tank coming at you. I’ve had it follow me around corners, and through the air, it is a HUGE problem. Also if I walk towards another Spartan I can jump over his head, but can you jump over a charge? Nope, the lock on feature really needs to be removed, as it is right now it rewards people that blindly Sprint around the map or around corners. It needs to be a high risk high reward ability, and as it is now, it’s just not. I think we have all been in those matches where one or more ppl on the other team is just sprinting around trying to charge everyone and while these people usually end up losing, it completely takes the fun out of the match.

pressing Y and shooting once sure takes skill. holding sprint and pressing Melee seems to be on the same level.

The noob combo is brilliantly balanced in this game. When the plasma pistol overheats from the shot it disables switching weapons for like half a second, so I’ve won plenty of instances where the opponent could not switch to their weapon in time and just died, or the EMP bolt simply didn’t track hard enough to hit me.
It’s actually not viable at all in close range, because of it. It’s more of a ranged exploit this time around.
The only time I have grievance with SC is in Grifball as it will always end with a cheap trade kill no matter what weapon is used.
Here’s a solution to your problems. Thrusters

Sprint is fine in Grifball, there was a variant in Reach which featured the Armour Ability Sprint, and Halo 4 had Sprint.
But Spartan Charge? Nope. It just ruins the game. When all else fails, just Spartan Charge and you’ll almost always get a kill. Even after you die.
At least it’s not as bad as destiny’s shoulder charge.
i do agree it’s needs to be nerfed a bit, maybe give it no aim assist, and a bigger radar would help balance it also.
