This classic Halo game type has been revamped and makes its way into Halo 5: Guardians in the Hammer Storm update! The objective of Assault is simple \u2013 Take the ball to the enemy\u2019s goal to score. It\u2019s important to take down enemies to gain control before rushing for the ball, located in a neutral position on the map. Remember, you\u2019ll be unable to shoot when holding the ball, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll be completely defenseless. One melee is all that\u2019s required to take down your foes with the ball, and carriers are equipped with two thrust charges to close the distance fast! Take down enemies, secure the ball, and march into opponent\u2019s base to score points \u2013 this is Assault.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ALL NEW ARENA MAP – TORQUE<\/h2>\n

Commissioned by Lethbridge Industrial in 2555, Auriga Station served as one of the company\u2019s preeminent research and development facilities. Fitted with the latest in UNSC fabrication systems and Sangheili-procured forges, the station could also carefully disassemble, analyze, and rebuild nearly any piece of recovered technology to aid in reverse-engineering efforts. Stripping bare Lethbridge\u2019s vast archives of secrets and making a mockery of their counter-cyberintrusion suites, Cortana quickly repurposed the loyalties of the station\u2019s resident AI and removed the human crew.<\/p>\n

Tactics<\/strong>: Symmetrical map that caters to Capture the Flag and Assault game modes. The pistons in each courtyard can provide key gameplay for cover, traversal, and objective movement due to their moving up and down. The teams that are the most successful are the ones that control the middle of the map and coordinate attacks on the opposing base.<\/p>\n
