Assault has been taken out of TA because it’s not HCS approved. WTF. That is the only game mode I really care about. Why can’t we play what we want. Get slayer out of TA, and make TA objective only. We don’t want HCS. We want Halo.
Since when did the HCS get to dictate what everyone can and can’t play?
Was this just announced
I think it was just talking about HCS not having assault not that its removed from arena
> As a note, extensive testing was done with the Assault game type, and at this time it has been determined that the game type could use some extra tuning before being integrated into Pro League play.
They said assault is going to get some fine tuning before they re-add. I agree, assault matches usually last until time out. Patience my friend, it will return.

I believe it’s removed from TA for the summer. I may be wrong.

I just pulled that quote from the summer page it was the only thing that mentioned assault, the list under it was just the HCS maps they are using with game type or the ones they changed its not the full team arena list, if you notice there is only about 6-7 maps when we have at least double that in arena
It’ll return in 3-4 weeks. They want to do some retuning, it’s the same reason Grifball will be leaving for a few weeks.
Assault wasn’t just taken out because the pros don’t want it. It was taken out because it was pretty much broken.

Assault is fun as crap. It’s one of the few games we have left from the good Ole days 
So wait, they are removing Assault AND Grifball, at the same time, to do some tweaks?
343I - Lets take out gamemodes and maps. Yeah… I really like assault aswell, fun cracking heads and leaves use with another slayer, strongholds and capture the flag. Assault is also unique in that it can’t be played anywhere else in game.
I think they can keep it out of Team Arena for the purposes of the HCS, but what 343 needs to do is add a Social Arena playlist where people can play relaxed and not worry about ranking down all the time.
The HCS is ruining arena what a surprise, assault and ctf are the only decent modes in arena.
HCS shouldn’t determine what we play in arena 343. We like our modes. All modes minus the special ones (Warzone Turbo ect…) should be always be there. Halo 3 and Reach had that right.
This is why I dont play Arena. Its lacking so hard in diversity and content. I remember in the old Halo Reach days you could spend an entire day playing the game and each match felt like a whole new game. One second Im slaying zombies in sword base, next Im sniping fools across a conyon, next Im an elite leading an assault on a base, then Im flying around the spire in my falcon dodging tank missiles in heavies, then suddenly Im collecting skulls, then planting bombs, then going hardcore in mlg, then scoring points in grifball, then bam Im flying through a field in my rocket hog for some rocket race, then Im racing mongooses, then being a camping little -Yoink- guarding my flag, and that doesnt even bring up the mayhem that was action sack!! When did Halo become so simple minded and narrow. It used to be a playground where there was a never ending bundle of things to do. Now I can hardly go an hour without feeling like Ive done everything.
I feel like assault would play a lot better in BTB.
The HCS teams practice in customs anyway. We should get Assault and Oddball added to the rotation… The small 1% of the community shouldn’t be allowed to inconvenience everyone else.

I want Assualt too, but the mode was terrible. The instant resets meant games that ended in 0-0 ties. And the spawns were so close to the bases, it’s a crap shoot whether you could survive the nade spam while arming.
it needs major work.
What bothers me is that 343 didn’t realize this until the testing period. It’s been known since day 1. Luckily, They said Assualt should be back on a few weeks, but your’re right, this does show a weakness in there decision to tie HCS to Team Arena. Why can we just have an objective playlist?
