Well that’s why you shoot from the distance and you get it. Not hard
Cause 343

The only people “conflicted” about this would be the HCS/Comp players, but even then it doesn’t make sense when you consider that most people who play comp use, well… competitive settings.
HCS aspects, even ones as simple as this, in social just don’t work in the long run imo. Keep casual game modes casual, trying to make competitive too casual or casual too competitive will only alienate those communities from wanting to play the game.

I completely agree with this. I never post on the forums but there have been some things with Infinite that are really uncomfortable. This is one of them. The least I could do is make posts to hopefully inspire changes to the game.

It was jarring at first but it’s fine, you melee faster now. Makes it completely possible to still defend yourself.
Yeah, it’s a little weird. Hopefully they consider changing it in the future

Because it isn’t a power weapon. The point of Oddball is to make it a 3v4 and still come out on top.

Totally agree with this - We were playing customs last night and found it odd. I was having to beat down - drop - one shot. Which was far too much hard work.
Flag and ball should definitely be a one hit kill.

I agree! One hit oddball needs to make a comeback! I understand they want to pave the way to a new generation of Halo for years to come so they have attempted to make some changes to the game! But they got to stay true to the past games! Oddball carrier not being able to one hit is absolutely horrible! It is a much needed [Core] feature! Also like where the heck is Team SWAT! or Team Doubles! Or heck even Rumble Pit/FFA. The games completely missing its core gamemodes!

I think only halo 4 had the ability to throw. I liked the idea but see why it was likely removed.

The goal of Oddball is to hold the Oddball, nerfing the only defense the ball carrier forces you to drop the ball if you wish to survive & artificially inflates the game-time per match.
I want to have fun when I play, changes like this should only exist in a ranked playlist.

Game developers and especially Multiplayer Leads just don’t understand when something was designed in such a great way, even if by accident.
Exact same thing happened with me… my whole neighborhood probably heard me yell what!?
Rip to all the players that rush the flag alone
Ok yea this and flag need to go back to one hit kills. Who is making these decisions? You can tell they don’t play their own game ha.

My bad, I read his comment as in support of the change instead of a comparison of how halo 3 was better lol. I agree with OP
But it’s already a 3v4. If your entire team is dumb enough to run next to the odd ball guy then it’s your fault. Just shoot the 3 guys down and get the ball holder from a distance with your ARs

Agreed, I smacked someone and they didn’t die and killed me I was finna rage quit. Why the heck they didn’t make it 1 hit kill. I did kill someone with it when they had low shields and wondered why they didn’t go flying like in the trailer too.
It feels like 343i are balancing the entire game around competitive & social will suffer because of it in my opinion.
