Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

When will we get to see Team Snipers? Also, why is SWAT not a permanent addition to the playlists? Anyway, good update.

YAY! Grifball. Bungie keep the Custom Game Hoppers coming. MLG and fans have some amazing maps with really competitive play.

Can anyone say Spartan Arena?

scince i havent got the new maps how can i play grifball. isnt it a bit unfair that only a select amount of players can get prizes and double xp for a weekend?

  • 03.05.2008 4:38 PM PDT

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

dang it, I'll be gone for the griffball tourny.... I bet I could have had a chance to win a prize too.. I've gone 72 Kand 30 D before....

SWAT with increased health? oh please dont tell me youve "Fixed" Swat.

i have a hunch this is going to be as bad as the zombie playlist....


I think that headshots should still be and instant kill just like halo 2.
This has probably already been explained by someone else by now, but this is the same way Swat worked in H2. BR's, Carbines, and pistols always kill an unshielded opponent in one headshot, regardless of health. The extra health is to make it more difficult to kill someone with body shots. You can take more body damage but headshots still kill in one shot.

Luke didn't really explain Swat very well for people who have never played it. It's basically a game based entirely on headshots. It's BR starts (or occasionally Carbine or Pistol, all one-headshot-kills) with no shields, so headshots are the only way to get kills due to the increased health. No radar and usually played without grenades.

yes but that dosent explain how everybody can play in the tournament and there really arent that many more people who have the maps than dont. this means only so many poeple out of the whole halo community can play in the tournament.

yes, you do. grifball is played in foundry because it is just like a pitch - square and flat.
maybe grifball could be played on isolation as it is relativeley flat

when are you going to fix radar in team hardcore? seriously, that must be one of the easiest and most demanded adjustment requested and you guys just sit there.

really obnoxious.

this "weekend" play list really is a cool idea, but it sucks for gamers that work in the restaurant industry because thats our busiest time of the week and we don't get to play on the weekends. so in the future could you make it a week long playlist, i LOVE griffball and swat. and i really want to play, but the likelihood of that happening is very slim. if you could give this a thought it would be nice.

How're people gonna play Grifball without the Map pack?


The Grifball hopper has the same restriction as the DLC hopper, it requires DLC to play.
