…For the usual piddly two days or so, as always. Seriously it should be up for a week like Turbo gets to be :’(
Oh well, enjoy it while it lasts 'cause it’s not coming back anytime soon once it’s gone!
It’s a great way to grind out xp…if you don’t mind dying a lot and getting curb stomped most of the time. But for the xp in short time it’s worth it.

Assault’s worth it enough to me to deal with that. Maybe if it was up for more trhan just two days you’d see more variety in how those games go down, but as it is when people see it pop up it’s mostly as you said: “Oh hey, Assault’s up for just two days. Let’s get the whole squad together to shred through it while it’s up”

I hate one sided objective game types of any form… I would never play warzone assault ever…till I decided to get 152 and saw how you could gain a lot of xp in short time.
So this is up until when??? I need to grind but work has been heavy. Might do some grinding tonight.
YEAHHHH BABBYYY. Time to grind out this xp this weekend!

Yeah, generally I’m not the largest fan either most of the time… WZA felt different somehow, can’t quite put my finger on it though. I’d love to see a King of the Hill styled Warzone in Infinite should this mode return in some manner, but definitely not a Capture the Flag variant. Has the potential to be cool sure, but I’ve had enough CTF games devolve into “Hold flag at base then wait 'till two seconds are left before capping” to know how WZCTF would turn out.

True story. I’m losing 16 out of every 20.
it’s nice that it doles out around the same amount of XP as a heroic firefight in about a quarter of the time other than that it is a terrible game type

It’s just too easy to get pinned in your spawn point. If they spread it out that would make it a lot better.

Especially bad on Temple for the Defenders. Many a team will set up a Guass Hog, Tank, or Hannibal Wasp to spawnkill the people that keep spawning in that corner. I sometimes camp in that spot when an Attacker to prevent this from happening and force the Defenders to spawn elsewhere (Often increasing their chance of spawninfg in the relative safety of their base), and I’ve had people try and Spartan Charge me off of it or even flat out betray me just so they can resume the spawnkilling.
My advice as a Defender? Keep a stock of Mongeese around to pull out if you need to respawn. Guaranteed base safetey rather than in a blatant killzone.
Believe it or not, I’ve never played it…looking forward to it this weekend

I’ve been running into teams spawning 3-4wasps and just spawn sitting.

I feel that it’s prime is long since passed though, and now you’ll mostly face teams that’ll lock down the game within the first minute of play. Since it’s great for EXP gain, you’ll see a lot of people jumping in for that too - again, usually in a team. Way back when before WZA’s population began to dwindle towards zero, it was the playlist I preferred over the regular Warzone.
If you jump in nowadays you can still get a feel for what WZA’s like, but it’s not what it used to be now that it’s a “Two days only!” playlist

With boosts its an easy way to earn around 10k xp a game for 6-8 minutes each game.

Yeah the ‘Good old Days’ of Assault are long since passed more or less xD
It’s rare to find a game that isn’t matching you against high end players - usually in a team of 4 ~ 8 most of the time.
Back when it was often the preferable choice to regular Warzone since the teams usually stuck to that playlist over Assault. Partly something about the 6-man limit in WZA I guess.
the huge XP payout almost doesn’t make up for the fact that assault is an absolute dumpster fire of a game type
