Can Assault be made out of Grifball now?

I remember that Assault could not be made from Grifball when H4 launched, because of glitches within the game type itself, like detonation time or something. Can Assault be made now, and can the trait zones and player traits be manipulated into making the ball heavy while player jump height remains normal?

I don’t know, why don’t you try it yourself…

Time. I get one day off a week. Hoping to hear from someone who’s recently tried it.

Assault is traditionally a one-sided gametype which doesn’t work for grifball. I think you could create something similar to neutral bomb though. In the traits section of the gametype you can adjust settings for the ball carrier (grifball traits). I don’t think you can have an arming process so might want to think of an alternative for that. Extraction has some potential but I have almost no experience messing with it.

See my file share for Mario Kart remakes.

There is one variant of Assault that I have found can be recreated from Grifball. Remember the Neutral Bomb gametype? 2 sides, one bomb located mid-map. similar style to Grifball. Just modify some of the bomb pick-up and bomb placement settings, as well as loadouts, weapons, and armor abilities and mods, and you have yourself the closest thing to Neutral Bomb Assault you can possibly have. If you want, I an upload my variant to my File Share if it isn’t already up. Mine is based on Reach’s variant, but can be modified to your liking.

I’m pretty sure you can’t. There’s options in Grifball that would make it possible if they actually worked. The bomb timer won’t actually change the amount of time until it explodes. That’s the main thing. If they fixed that, it would probably work.

I did this, the only problem is you can’t defuse the bomb. But if 343i did a little bit of tinkering they could fix that and, oh IDK, maybe put it in bt skirmish… :slight_smile:

It’s possible, but limited. I’ve done it before and got it to work, but it is impossible to modify even the most basic abilities.

Hopefully Ricochet will allow players more abilities, but I personally think that it is a waste of DLC and money. I would have much rather preferred an actual Assault gametype.
