Whose bright idea was it...

Who’s bright idea was it to remove Assult from team arena? First it was arena breakout and this! If it was because of “fan feedback” then I wonna talk to those fans, if not then someone should get fired for giving that idea.

I have it on good authority that MS ordered the 343 to remove Assault. In the wake of recent terror attacks, they thought it was in bad taste to include a gametype where you plant bombs and blow -Yoink- up. 343 didn’t want to, but MS forced them to rewrite their playlist setups.

Apparently, the pro’s didn’t like it… so they removed it.

Lame.

Lol. What a reason. If we go that far we gotta remove alot of other stuff as well.

Well, they initially didn’t include Oddball because the game is rated T for teen and MS didn’t think it was appropriate for minors to be able to play with human skulls. Luckily, 343 saved the day by thinking of just making the Oddball an actual ball.

God -Yoink!- you aren’t gonna stop are you?

Sorry, while I LOVED the Arena Breakout, I hated the Assault…

BUT, if they added back BOTH modes, I’d be very happy.
(if they added my beloved Arena Breakout, I could live with the Assault :stuck_out_tongue: )

I am, Spartan. I hope you’re aware Waypoint is a network and Infinity has a pretty good connection. :slight_smile:

But why though? If anything Assult is pretty heavy on cooperative play

Not sure what you’re talking about. You asked who’s idea it was. I told you. Why is it hard to believe?

But, didn’t the Guardian EMPed everything? Also I remembered something, weren’t you on Sanghelios?

Try playing with randoms. :3
No, but seriously… Dunno, just not a fan.

HOWEVER, if they added BOTH - Arena Breakout AND Assault, I’d be very happy.
While I miss the Arena Breakout a lot, I could live with the Assault.

Yeah, it is a shame. At least we got the actual gametype though. 343 was able to outsmart their Microsoft overlords to give us the gametype they always planned on giving us.

There, I marked what I was talking about. You’re not going to let the rewrite thing go away aren’t you?

EMP isn’t permanent… :wink: I have my ways…
Sure, Sanghelios was fun. Want a post card?

When I said that I meant the list of map/gametypes they have for each playlist. They had to rewrite the Team Arena list to not include Assault.
