The melee is a little too strong

yea i get that but as a person who has been playing halo since combat evolved dropped i know something when i see it. we all know how to play halo and we all see issues that are there and have our own opinion on it.

I’m not directing it entirely at you, and I also played since CE, I’m just saying the forums are about 70% reposts. The lack of collision is causing a lot of issues with melee, but otherwise it feels the same as always. Also worth mentioning, small, medium, and heavy weapons all have different melee speeds. Keep that in mind. Swap to a small weapon to melee faster

Yea im not saying it doesn’t feel the same im just saying with the faster and new gameplay with new ways to close the distance one shoting someone who still has shields feels a lil strong to me

and yea it is lots of new players posting in the forums and don’t really know the game

Eh, ever since Reach, getting assassinated has only gotten faster, especially in 5 with sprinting and thrusting. I don’t really miss walking 1mph only centimeters behind another spartan for 5 minutes unable to make the melee contact in CE-3. The fast pacing makes it much easier to ninja people and ambush people focused on someone else.

Yes, and I love the change to faster gameplay and assassinations need to stay in the game with the one shot back shot. but taking almost death blowing damage with shields from the front just sucks and I’m just hoping that the one shot from the front is a glitch that can get fixed soon.

Yeah that is probably 90% of the issue since their melee is clipping through your body, doing more damage than it needs to. When they inevitably bring back assassinations and of course sell special assassination styles in the shop and Battle Passes, I’m hoping the assassination medal is worth more than a back smack medal, due to it being a flex that takes longer for the sake of taunting, which gives more BP XP in the future. It would be much more rewarding to go for them
