Warzone Firefight Ground Pound

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Just getting back into Halo 5 after a long hiatus. I’m wondering; has Ground Pound been altered? On a few occasions now I’ve Ground Pounded an enemy, only to lose my shields as I hit which then leaves me open to a kill-shot. Did I miss an update?

It’ll be a missing animation

Like you would of been hit by some thing and it just didn’t animate it happening.

I’d considered that but it’s happened more than once and always at the point of impact. It’s not a big deal I suppose, just wanted to make sure I hadn’t missed an update or something. Cheers for the response.

Enemies have pretty high damage resistance in Warzone Firefight. it’s the way 343 decided to make it challenging to win

Aka bullet sponges

So it’s the actual act of Ground Pounding them that damages my shields? A mechanic to prevent easy kills maybe?

I think it might be also that in firefight, as the waves progress then the enemy does more damage as well as gets higher damage resistance. So the first couple waves you will probably keep your shields and really do some damage to the AI enemy. Later on if the enemy shoots you just a couple times your shield will be gone, and the ground pound won’t have done much damage
