Just until real assault gets here.
Assault is just CTF, but with half the walking.
Never thought about it like that.

Hypothetically, can we make the flag explode?

I always felt assault was redundant ctf. Ricochet, however, was legitimately unique. Especially when you can pass the ball.
Side note, was the oddball throw mechanic removed in Infinite?

I wouldn’t really call it redundant, just similar with slight differences.
Ricochet was awesome and one of the best modes 343 made. A shame they never brought it back in H5. I always felt it was limited with by H4’s loadouts and forge. Plus 5 had the spartan abilities.
As it stands, you can’t throw the oddball in Infinite, but it could just be an option that you have to toggle off in custom settings. I believe H5 was the same way.

I am really excited for assault to come a back (I imagine we’ll get it at some point). They did really well with it when they brought it back in H5.
For the CTF/Assault redundancy discussion, they’re pretty similar for sure. But the gameplay that happens during the actual plant/defend/defuse moments is unique compared to other modes. It can get pretty intense during the plant sequence 
Yeah, planting is the main difference, and the bomb exploding. Unfortunately, I doubt any of these features would work on a flag. *sigh * But that’s why it’s “bootleg assault”.
