This map is soooo terrible......there are sooo many other "basketball-type" maps and modes that perform far better than this one....it's a shame you are not trying and promoting more of those instead of just the one "your buddies" made.

Tanking? What's wrong with the term "blocking?"

Also, it's a shame there's no way to throw the ball. It would be interesting to allow passing.

Actually...
Passing IS totally possible.
Team SG-1 has gotten insanely good at passing and mid air passing as of late.

A Halo 2 Glitch Master, "retired" since i couldn't find anything good in Halo 3, hoping for a come back. I'm a huge Marathon fan too. If you want to verse me, please message me through my Bungie.net profile.
My weapon of choice is the warthog (Driving); I'm one of the best drivers out there, so if i get my hand on a vehicle, you're going to wish i hadn't XD

April 20th I became one of the final 30 people to play Halo 2 online. Unfortunately I was kicked by Microsoft that day.

I feel that there should e a place where i can get this..l.this is awesome. If anyone know who has it, please send me the link! Thanks in advance.

Many of us would love to add a Grifball playlist to matchmaking as a limited time diversion. Once we get through with a few current commitments I will not rest until that happens!

For those of you who are complaining and moaning about Grifball I'll give you some advice - don't play it. Don't read about it. Go play Hardcore, MLG or whatever else you prefer. You need to realize that there are a lot of people who enjoy Halo 3 and they dont all like the same games or rules as you. That's fine - that's the great thing about Halo 3 - it has a lot to offer to everyone and a huge amount of variety. Just because we play Grifball and think it's fun doesn't mean we hate "Hardcore" games nor does it mean that matchmaking is going to turn into nothing but wacky games. There will always be a diverse balance of game offerings and you can always play customs if none of those strike your fancy.

Play it if you want. Don't play it if you don't want to.

Griffball is addictingly good.
Sketch, if you put it into MM, make it like a best of 9 or something, so it goes longer!

He said to use Tucker's imagination, but I didn't have his, I only had mine. So I used my imagination to pretend like I had Tucker's, and look what I came up with!

No kidding. Rocket Race fun x10=Grfiball, boo-yah!

Can we get a Team Grifball playlist? That would be awesome.

I LIKE BUTTS AND I HAVE A BIG BUTT AND I LIKE TO SNIFF MY OWN BUTT

It was great playing with you lot. Extinguishing multiple head fires with one hammer swing does become addictive.

Was also proud I got MVP in both matches I played. : D I took a new trophy screenshot from that game.

Oh, I wasn't complaining or anything about Grifball being made into a matchmaking type...
Hell, I would LOVE it (as you saw last night :P) but you really need to have a team that you work well with.
Its not the type of game that would be fun or work just getting paired with random people.

Maybe if you make it so you HAVE to have 4 people already before starting it up.

Also, you might wanna fix my name being in the News Post twice when the second one should be dropg (Nico) Mr. Come In Late! :P

Life isn't like Halo, you don't go "Boop. Boop. Beep!" and come back alive.

Wow. Bungie endorsing grifball is just them sucking up to RvB. Grifball sucks. It's just oddball with a lame scoring system.

griftball is fun, but can someone please create a huge Spartan Soccer league.

Quit staring.

I would love if you guys would stop screwing around and concentrated on the real halo sport MLG and your competitive followers. It's all good to play in your free time, but when there's work at hand it creates a picture on incompetence. Hardcore needs to be at least no radar and equipment with MLG maps and only MLG game variants. Like oddball, slayer, king, and flag. Please stop ignoring us and playing griffball. It doesn't need play testing or a Million man hours of corporate BS. I would love you guys to pieces if you stopped being tearing apart your series with nerfed gameplay. It makes it too easy for little papa gino cheesy nub slices to compete.

Um.,. have you ever worked a day in your life before? These guys can take some time to play after a busy day's work just like you can. Besides, 4 Bungie guys are most definitely not the entire team that is working on fixing the "horrid flaws" you brought up. If you're so unhappy with the game, why the heck are you still playing? Why not join the CoF boys and be merry with the easy kills and incredible bland levels?

You can't please everybody.

griffball is the stupidest thing i have ever seen that has come out of the halo games. its not even much of a shooter game anymore

  • 01.11.2008 3:16 PM PDT

fo shoats

I would tsk tsk Bungie for playing against the makers of Grifball without playing it first... but it seems they've suffered enough. I've actually played Griftball with a good team and all and I have to say it was pretty fun once you get into it and figure out what's goin on. I've played a few forged "sport" style halo custom games.
I've played a version of football that's pretty fun on sandtrap and something called basketball in which the ball carrier has to take a lift to arm the bomb which is above the other team's heads.
It's all good fun.
