The only problem I have with Spartan Charge is...

That it almost always inhibits me from performing an assassination. If I’m sprinting behind someone the only option I really have is to charge. If I get out of Sprint my opponent gets away. I have tried going into a side then a normal melee but that rarely works. However, I have a potential solution. Ground Pound works when you hold melee in midair. If you press melee in midair you simply punch. If Spartan Charge worked a similar way it would solve this issue. You would press melee to charge and hold melee to assassinate. Problem solved. Hopefully 343i can fix this issue via patch.

Sounds fairly logical, actually.

I agree with you; should be hold B for the Spartan Charge. :slight_smile:

I agree with you there. I have spartan charged more than once when I meant to attempt an assassination. I like the suggestion you made as that is what I doing when I get the accidental charge.

not played much arena yet bit isint that how it works anyway… press for melee and hold for assassination.
I suppose though it would be a bit op if u can charge and then assassinate in one button press.

This is great idea

Slide then Thruster before you hold melee. You won’t ever miss your assassination again.
If you’re sprinting after a sprinter, Shoulder Charge is your only other option to land a hit if you can’t land a Slide->Jump->Thruster->Melee.

Slide or Thruster before you hold melee. You won’t ever miss your assassination again.

What I’m suggesting is that pressing melee will initiate a spartan charge while holding it will initiate a assassination. It will not be a charge then an assassination just an assassination.

I agree. Half of my assassinations end in a boring spartan charge kill.
