3 strikes I'm dead?

Post » Thu Dec 02, 2010 12:05 am

I melee an enemy 3 times point blank and I die from his one? How does that work?
Edit* I know there is probably already a similar thread, but I cannot stress this enough...
It is happening too frequently, I know I hit the guy I see the impact... So why in the world is he not going down. I've been cheated out of too many kills.
It's like I'm playing TF2 and every C.E.L.L. and marine has a Razorback on their back. What the hell is going on?

In my experience it's lag related, or latency, or maybe both.

I hate when people just run up and punch. Its probably because they have armor mode enabled. Also there may be a chance they have armor enhance (++) enabled too which takes longer for shields to drain. This game isn't like COD where it takes one melee to kill.

I'm not suggesting they need to make it a 1 hit kill. I'm just saying after 3 melees you'd think they'd go down. Not return the favor with a 1 punch death on you.
One more thing even in CS there's an example of this.
Gun Game= last two people standing, they'll ask if they want to do a knife fight.
I only melee when they get close enough. Like the Shark in Crysis. It only opens its mouth when your close enough to get bit. Not constantly spamming it 2 meters away hoping that it might "Register early"

Remember to aim for the head, even with melees since you can headshot with the melee.

Yea thats all we need... in a game where u can go invisible AND one shot melee someone... brilliant... that would make this game so much better.

Here's a good example of Melee just being a two hitter...

Why can't the 360 play like this? I might be able to actually get some kill streaks then if it did.

The triple melee not killing someone does happen when you get lucky (I've been hit 3 times just to power jump and melee them once), mostly I think its just lag for obvious reasons or really really bad luck because you broke a mirror.

But thanks to this video I'm going to try out the Majestic :P

I know people who melee are just filthy scrubbing bastards.
