So I was playing warzone yesterday on sanctum and called in a scorpion at the south garage. I roll out, pick off a boss that was low health nearby, then focus on the enemy sword banshee who was attacking that boss. I think “this will be easy, just 2-3 shots and my company is one kill closer to Achilles” Nope. I hit the banshee the first time directly, but it’s shields are just slightly damaged. I then have to hit it directly 4 more times, making a 5-shot kill out of a 3-shot maximum kill.
Are you sure that that maximum shot number is for the sword banshee, not the normal one? Sword is tougher.

Yes but it shouldn’t take 5 shots. That’s more than an oni scorpion can take.

Could very well just be the horrible AI balancing in Warzone. It doesn’t feel like Halo at all if you ask me.
Ok 343i has to fix this, the game on hit registration is just ridiculous. I can name a few situations in Warzone yesterday where I unloaded about a full clip on one guy before we anyone could get upgraded shields. I miss a few shots but all my shots were in target.

Someone surviving a direct-on hit with a Ghost at full boost anyone?
It was probably because he was right on top of you and they didn’t register as direct hits.
I wasn’t seeing hit markers when it was pressed up against you, so there must have been something up with the hit registration.
From the clip, I can say it did take 3 hits to take out that banshee. Here’s what happened:
- The 1st shot hit. - The 2nd shot missed. - Shots 2-4: The enemy banshee positioned itself at a point where the scorpion turret - After the 3rd shot, the banshee was able to regenerate its shields. - Shot 5 hits - Shot 6 hits and lands the killing blow.

He might have been lagging hard or you where. I’ve never seen an immunity glitch this hard before on an enemy player but he should’ve been able to kill you in that time so he must’ve been lagging.

I think I remember doing that yesterday I think. I somehow sometimes just die when I just onto a Wraith before it even boosts and kills me. The physics are so bad in this game. Sometimes CE has better physics.

Yeah. At least CE had consistency.

And then the enemy slingshot-hijacks you from the other end of the observable universe.
Another thing I just noticed was that the destroyed banshee still had shields for a moment.
Wheelman is probably the best answer. Or since he was right up against the Scorpion, he was out of the shell’s trajectory path.

It wasn’t an AI.
seems like that would be because your internet was lagging at the time. the only internet I have to play online is the hotspot on my phone. it works amazingly most of the time but when the connection gets slow I definitely have problems like this
I head-shot a grunt 3 times at close range and he didn’t go down. I had to charge and melee that smirk off his face.

Well damn… Yeah, might it have been a combination of Overshield and Wheelman? Is that possible?

Overshield only affects the Spartan, not vehicles.

There you go, I must be thinking of the old days where vehicle health was tied to player health.
