Assault was my favorite game type in Halo 2 and 3. Was only replaced by Invasion in Reach which was also removed and should be brought back by the way.
I loved playing Assault on maps likes Zanzibar, Standoff, High ground, Waterworks, and Containment.
I will never know Why this awesome and classic game was removed from Halo.
Please return Assault!
You have my vote for assault to return with Halo Xbox One. It could even expand into a reimagining of assault e.g. Collect or assemble bomb parts and then deliver/arm it.
Agreed it should return.
Gametypes should never be removed from a game, especially those that were popular
If it comes back does anybody think that throwing the ball could be an issue.
Being able to throw the ball half way across the map could prove to be a problem. Put that with sprint and you have a broken game type.
Perhaps this is why they didn’t bring it in in the first place.
Anyways worries aside I’d welcome it back.
Assault was in Reach, it wasn’t replaced by Invasion, Invasion was meant to be it’s own monster. A combination of Territories and Capture The Flag, with an Assault section on Breakpoint.

The Oddball and the Bomb are two different objects. Grifball in Halo 4 uses the Oddball object. So I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to throw the Bomb.

What I meant was that Assault was replaced as my favorite gametype in Halo Reach by Invasion. I still loved and forged the heck out of Assault in Reach.
And to the person that said something about throwing the ball. I doubt that would be a feature, nor should it be for the reasons you stated.
Imagine 16 vs 16 assault :3 (along with classic assault)
343i should definitely bring back Assault and they should give it a fun reimagining (similar to what happened to CTF) alongside classic variants.

I welcome updates and re-imagined game types but please no waypoint over the bomb carrier though. Key mechanics to assault are:
Knowing where the bomb is or how to find it.
Team work
Stealth
Offense & defense
If the waypoint was introduced it would undermine too many tactics and water assault down too far.

Agreed.
And please bring back the Hornet for air transport for the bomb. Or give us a transport Falcon.
If 343i chooses to bring Assault back that is. One step at a time.

Oh yes, bring back the exposed air transport. Memories of Avalanche when being the bomb carrier being transported or BR/splasering the enemies on a game winning run…DENIED.
Too good for BTB objective, oh how I miss you.
It would be great to return it. I want it back!
Good to see some love for assault! Maybe I should make a poll?
I absolutely support Assaults return. Though we all miss it, I feel like an Infinity Assault variant in 4 would have ruined it for a lot of people. With this new halo, there’s the chance to start off fresh. There is something special about Assualt that CTF just doesn’t do for me.
Maybe its that feeling you get when you plant it and knowing your not getting backup, you just have to cover it until it blows.
Maybe its holding off an attack and defusing just in time, sending the other team back to the drawing board.
If 343 are going to bring it back, no waypoints over the bomb carrier and no bomb carrier-pistol. Its got to be Classic Assault.
I want to see Invasion, Assault and Generator defence to return in Halo 5
You know, it is possible to modify a Capture the Flag map, and put the enemy flag in your base, and your team’s capture plate in the enemy base. That basically makes it Assault for every intent and purpose.
Only difference is the lack of an arming sequence…
