The lunge on standard melee is the only thing that seems different, but it doesn’t bother me.
Everything else came so naturally to me when I first played infinite. I hope they keep it how it is currently.
I think a lot of the problems with the melee are down to poor netcode integration. It feels janky at times, like the melee lunge is, I dunno, off. Like the netcode is showing multiple versions of gameplay to multiple people based upon the servers.
I’m sorry… You’re talking about something feeling like halo… While trying to convince us something that has no place in halo is good for us?
It’s completely inconsistent is what it is.
And then you’d go broke and no one would ever buy a title made by you again because they would see you as a petulant child who leaves their products in a broken state; all because someone called you names
Errr… What? lol

Summary
Long and short:
You’re an idiot
Yep, I’m defiantly an idiot

Yeah, I have noticed that too. Sometimes you’ll lunge with your melee like normal and sometimes you just don’t lunge at all and punch the air like you’re mad.
Hopefully the consistency issue is fixed.
I’ve heard this but only experienced it once if memory serves.
I think I just chalked it up to messing up the timing on my melee or something. Hopefully consistency gets fixed.
I was able to kill a sword guy with a quick melee lunge in fiesta. Felt amazing.
I wouldn’t say idiot. Unaware of the ignorance a bunch of YouTubers and games targeting naive kids conditioned you to find acceptsble? I would say that.
What is with you and kids?
I’ve encountered it a few times. Most of the time, I lunge fine. Other times under the same conditions, I just don’t so I sit there and punch the air instead of lunging, allowing the enemy to reload during my melee and just kill me. So definitely needs to be addressed.
You can blame the devs for that. They claim it was all coincidental that everything cascading like it did, but it was very intentional, or extremely incompetent.
RNG playlist. RNG vehicles. RNG challenges. Grindy Battlepass and purchasable challenge swaps. They based their whole revenue scheme on cosmetics.
I didn’t call you a kid that time. I said you’ve been conditioned by the Fortnite era which targets kids. But yes I do still think you are one cuz they’re the only ones who don’t have an issue with predatory monetization practices.
Picturing you standing still punching the air just makes me imagine your spartan saying “aww shucks” while doing a fist swipe through the air haha
The cosmetics are the easiest thing to complain about, because we were straight up lied to regarding them. The game needs work, full stop. The playlist issue is one, with the UI/UX being incompatible with actual playlist updates is ludicrous. It’s sheer and utter incompetence.
Everyone telling us we don’t deserve or get to demand info on the game we’re playing, I can pretty well bet they were not around on bungie dot net back during the H2/H3 dev cycles and got to read Ske7ch’s Bungie weekly updates. It’s a sad state that the younger generation of gamers don’t understand the inherent problems with this game because they only ever experienced the 343 era.
Er…Bro Not sure how to tell you this I’m most likely your age
That’s basically what happens, yeah lol. It’s a damn coin toss sometimes. You either get that melee lunge and finish that fight or you just swipe the air and admit defeat against your will. Or the magic instance happens and the enemy goes to melee and they don’t lunge either, so it’s like an air high five.
