>Brute chief Vs Fleshmob
Chieftains spawn with overpowered weapons and sometimes have the ability to go invulnerable. But they can be stunlocked by melee attacks if you can break their shields
>Stalker vs Spec ops elite.
Spec ops elites have infinite plasma grenades and their energy shields can stop melee attacks. And their energy shields are the second strongest in the series. They can also leap further than helldivers can, so if helldiver dive is far enough, even a normal elite smokes a stalker because their default weapon causes stagger. And as mentioned in another post, halo 2 elites have one hit ko melee attacks
>Grunt vs SEAF
SEAF probably win since they have better weapons and aren't cowering in fear as much. It's also rarer for grunts to carry heavy weapons. Both throw grenades.
>Banshee vs Stingray
Banshee sucks ass
>Phantom Vs Warp ship
Phantom sucks ass
>Overseer vs Blue Elite
50/50
>Charger Vs Hunter
If the hunter headshots it then the hunter wins but hunters are the most retarded enemy in halo history. Hunters spawn in pairs so they would win by default.
>Leviathan vs Scarab
Scarab can only be killed by hitting an obscured weakspot which has bizarre melee damage resistance flags. The only possible way the leviathan survives is if the scarab gets stuck in a pathfinding loop and a treaty is signed.

Gold elite doesn't give you time to think and doesn't telegraph. I think it's fine to occasionally have an enemy that breaks the rules. For chieftains that was sticky grenades, which is bizarre. Why not just make them super fast like the gold elites? Because the focus groups were too braindead.

They could add a melee indicator to the hud. The issue really is the melee hit box is unintuitive.
Otherwise you get too many instances of
>press button
>nothing happens
Another issue with ce's melee in general is how slow it is. Jaime 3 frames fixed that in halo 2.

Chieftains can be staggered by melee unless they are charging or flying
