Halo 4 - ASSAULT is gone. More gametype Info Added
Picked up from NeoGAF.
Assault gametype is not in Halo 4. More gametype news to come.
Leaked before official, so take it with a grain of salt. 343i has had plenty of time to deny this leak and have not done so.
I am not posting the link since it may point to spoilers.
I really hope this isn't true. I would like to re-make my Hog Bombers game in Halo 4.
Not saying your gametype can't be made in some other gametype though.
or you could post the link in a spoiler tag...
There has to be some sort of assault gametype in H4 if they are including griffball. If it can only be done in griffball and is not in any other MM gametypes, then that's rather disappointing. They take away an objective gametype and add another slayer gametype (regicide). I enjoy objective games because they add another layer of strategy. Very disappointing.
Excellent point!
I am more hopeful now.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as I haven't gone looking for the Grifball released information. May do that now. Tired and impatient from a rotten cold.
we know...
wait, so no bomb?
When I think of Assault I think of the generator crap in Reach
They probably just made a specific gametype of grifball instead of having it be a varient of assault, which they are not including.
I don't have a source handy, but I remember reading that Grifball is its own GT. Also, I believe The Oddball is the ball used in Grifball.

I guess I never really considered that with Grifball not using a bomb, that Assault would be gone, but I can see that now.
I really won't miss Assault, so I'm good with it being gone. I've always enjoyed Flag, Oddball and KOTH.
Of course, now that Assault is gone, you'll have all of the people that "love" Assault and will refuse to buy Halo 4. Well, the Objective playlist has always suffered from population problems - despite all of the "objective fans" - so I'm sure 343 isn't too worried about dropping an objective gametype.
Plus, we have the new Dominion gametype which I hope will be a fun addition to Halo.
Dominion is a variation of territories and slayer. I just get tired of playing slayer over and over again. The same will be true if ctf is about the only objective game in btb. *le sigh*
Hate to break this news to you but, most objective gametypes, even those in big team battle, include ways to kill the opposing team.
Ah yeah.
Like in Dominion you have to coordinate which bases to take, which ones to hold so they fortify so you can get defneses and vehicles, and respond to the other team trying to capture your bases.
:P
At its core, that's going to help you if you can slay effectively. We've all been in games where you're dragging ass to the objective, just to die, and end up winning the game because the other side (seemingly) has no interest in capturing the objective, but you've gotta be able to do it effectively in any case.
Dixon sucks.
An extremely brief slayer if you can call it that. Because the team with no bases cannot respawn in Dominion, and because of the waypoints over their heads, they'll either die very quickly, or manage to capture a base. In the first case, the game is over and it wasn't really slayer at all so much as a way to end the objective gametype with some finality. In the second case, the objective portion resumes.
Additional info from leak. No campaign spoilers and no original source link available.
oh, and this is a bummer. neutral assault is one of my favorite game types.
I'm completely guessing here, but I'd say Extraction is getting your "VIP" to a certain location before he's killed by the enemy team, and round based. Like an objective you take to the location, except the objective is armed and can walk on its own :P
If I wanted to play headhunter, I'd boot up Unreal Tournament 3, or Reach I guess :P
Kinda disappointed to see headhunter gone. Was one of the few multi team modes where people actually tried to play the objective.
Assualt was a good gametype. If you're able to plant the oddball like a bomb that would be great since your able to throw the oddball now, I can't see that just been a grifball only thing. The other gametype never did much for me and I won't miss them much.
i can easily find out what that gametype is... are you guys really that interested?
Twitch
That's the first time I've watched any griff ball vids, and that game type lookes vastly more fun that how it currently plays. As far as the gametypes, the only thing that disappoints me is head hunter not being included.
