Spartan charge was added in the game to prevent players from doing a double melee right after sprinting. But is spartan charge any better? The argument that spartan charge can be ‘‘easily avoided’’ is pointless because if that were the case than double melee would’ve been easy to avoid as well in Halo 4, but it wasn’t. Spartan charge is supposed to be a balancing mechanic that prevents a cheap charge attack mechanic but instead becomes one itself. Halo 5’s laughable 18m radar makes this problem only worse
The solution? A simple nerf. Frontal collision should take off 75% shields instead of 100%. The rest can stay the same. Spartan charge itself is a great ability though, it just needs proper tweaking.
What’s the point of the spartan charge if it can’t draw more shields than a simple melee attack ? In my opinion, spartan charge should kill a spartan, not just drop his shields
I think you shouldn’t be able to charge while being shot. All Spartan charge does is reward those who are sprinting around the map and are late on the trigger.

Spartan charges from behind should kill. I’m not so sure about the front, I like the idea of 75% shield damage. I think the person doing the spartan charging should also lose 75% shield damage as well

Really? I cant imagine much that would ruin the game more. It already does 100% shields and 50% health. That is more than enough.

I don’t understand this sentence. Spartan charges can be easily avoided, that doesn’t mean that double melees have to be easy to avoid though. The fact that they are easy to avoid is the reason for having them

i couldn’t bring myself to reply to his comment, i couldn’t say anything without being too rude. Seriously, instant kill??? While we are at it lets make anyone within the radars range die to a groundpound, goodness.
I love the spartan charge. I hate spartan charging someone and then being hit with full health and dying. Its embarrassing and makes the charge redundant.

now that you mention that armor mod, i’m seriously believing that 343 would give us a spartan charge armor mod. Also, does increased strength armor mod make spartan charge one hit kill?

From what I know about warzone and melee is this
Damage boost = normal melee is OHK, same for spartan charge
Knight blade = normal melee is not OHK, no augment to spartan charge
Energy Bayonet = normal melee OHK, no augment to spartan charge
Sword = normal melee is OHK, augment to spartan charge making it OHK
Hammer I never tested yet but I’m sure its the same as a sword
and according to this guy here from back in December

I dont know if it’s a 1 hit kill but that armor definitely increases the damage of SC; how much i can’t say.
its the most annoying armor mod… i HATE it when your shooting at someone and they start sprinting at you and kill you with a spartan charge, thats the most annoying part about h5
I <3 spartan charge and I hope it is here to stay and will be in future halo games unless they come up with a better mechanic…Or the come up with some way for spartans to use their hand to hand combat techniques…I do think it would be cool if when you ran out of ammo you could physically melee some one sorta like cqb for metal gear idk…But I like spartan charge. It makes the game more exciting for me.

This 100%. I can’t tell you how many times I get the first shot at someone just aimlessly sprinting around the map, but they don’t even try to shoot, they just change direction and charge me. It takes zero skill. If you can’t shoot, don’t play a shooter.
