I am so glad 343 added the assault gametype back. I never played it too much in past Halo titles, but it is the most fun I have had in a while on Halo 5. I sincerely hope 343 continues to add more gametypes, it is the most refreshing thing (cough infection 
).
I’m loving assault. It seems to bring out the team play a bit more than Strongholds and CTF. It’s been a blast.
I’m also loving assault. The only thing I’d change about it is having an actual animation when assassinating someone while holding the ball. (Jeff Steitzer nailed it with the narration though)
The games always end up close, it gets intense at times! Clearing the ball when you shields are down gives a certain rush!

CTF #1
My buddy always raved about playing 1 bomb in Halo 3 but I never really had the chance to play Assault until now with Halo 5. I now know why he like it so much, it is a very exciting and fast paced gametype, I like how offensive it feels, hopefully we continue to get awesome gametypes like this in future updates as well.
I kinda wish the bomb actually had a fuse and a proper explosion. It was always so satisfying to watch it detonate and take out everyone around it after one team would struggle to defuse it.
Outside of that and the absence of One Bomb though, it’s been great.
I wish it had its own Playlist.
Sorry, but no reviving old threads! They’re dead for a reason.
