I think I read that it had something to do with the melee system. It's supposed to make it more "fair" for players with a slower connection I think. I read it on Bungie's website - there was more but I forget what.

it realy does work, there were a few instances where me and another player were going in for a melee at the exact same time and instead of me yelling "bull****" we would actually just kill eachother. it just feels alot better knowing that i killed the other player.

The melee system has been tweaked so instead of the player with more health winning the battle, now, unless one player has a substantial amount of health over the other, both players will die.

I'm very happy they "fixed" the melee but I wish there were other fixes included... (I'm looking at you over-powered needler)

They should make it whoever hit it first(even if its by the milliseconds) Both dying at the same time is ridiculously stupid

thats what i'm saying, seems like if the person hits the melee within the same second as you, you both die. which is not so good. though i'm sure bungie will make everything ok, hah,

the "i hit the button first" thing is really only fair in a lagless environment. bungie made a good decision by addressing that IMO.

They're trying to avoid host advantage.

I was also wondering what was the update, but you guys are right. It's funny too because reading others reactions, same thing happened to me as well, i'm used to yelling "BullS&^%" as well, lol haha hope this works out for the best.

Yeah... isnt it suppose to be whoever hit who first? Not who has more hp? That patch, diplomatic as it is, doesnt make any sense.

i dont like the update too many times both myself and the opponent have died at the same time, I dont know it just felt better. Not to mention today i had a full health bar did not get shot once, but 1 melee killed me I don't see how thats possible but maybe it's just a bug that will get fixed.

i have no problem with the needler because is not dual weapon, plus the needler sucks in close combat its more like battle rifle, sniper, carbine

It was there to fix the melee's basicly. And give the Commader shoulder pads to the Elites.
