Receipts for bolded? I've often had the opposite experience.
I don't have receipts, cause I rarely use it or have it successfully used on me, but I'm sure I can find the frame data and post it. After a successful Spartan charge, both players are staggered, but the charger regains control first.
It is the opposite experience. The charger can't fire until the animation has finished and the camera has snapped back to first person while there is no time that the chargee is stopped from firing.
Here's my thoughts on the subject from earlier in the thread:
Not true. The person who is hit by the Spartan charge gets knocked back, and can't fire for just longer than the charger.
yeah I use it when getting from A to B (between slide boosts), or to make a longer jump without using my thrust (just in case).
i'm not so sure the charger gets the first shot when you melee, then still have to go through that funny animation before shooting.
anyway, I have 2 examples where I comfortably kill chargers.
the first is probably the safest way to avoid being hit, thrust back and they don't get close.
as you can see it's predictable because he's sprinting, I was ready it.

the next is one where I didn't have as much time to react as he comes from around the corner, but I smacked that bitch because I got a couple of shots in... sit down Matty Bix! (he's a mate from way back).

I don't want 343 to nerf it, I want people to use it because it's usually goes in my favour
I want 343 to nerf it because it requires no skill currently. It pisses me off most in "clean up" situations. Previously, one found himself in a 2v1 or engaged by someone prior to getting a chance to recover his shields, superior footwork and gun skill would allow him a CHANCE to come out on top.
In Halo 5, the second opponent can just Spartan Charge. it takes all skill out of the equation.
Edit: aha here is how people are able to get a ridiculous turn radius w/ Spartan charge.
