Subject: Log in to Halo 3 for Grifball Weekend

I would have stopped by to thank you Bungie earlier for the social GB weekend, but I was too busy trying to squeeze in as much court time as possible. Now that I'm exhausted from four straight days of it: thank you for bringing it back, and do so again soon please (with GBSL08 map/rule set... pretty please ^_^?)

Try out my map variation out of Rat's Nest: Hangar 92!

Now when the Grifball weekend is over - will we get any prizes like in all the other special weekends? :^)

I spent the whole weekend on Grifball anxiously thinking that little prize which has five letters, starts wirth 'R' and ends to 'N'. Other than that I of course enjoyed the Grifball and even promoted once.

Perhaps over time you will perhaps consider the possbility of realeasing both Swat and Grifball into the social and/or ranked playlists. Swat is an instanst classic for all those Halo 2 veterans out there, with headshots galore giving the game realistic sense of survival of the best aim. (Now that's my type of game). Now i know not everyone's a fan of Grifball but in my opinion it's a nice change from aving to be wary about going around every corner. Plus it takes real strategy to get good at. You can't just waltz up and arm the bomb. Tactics and improvisations are needed in order to outfox your opponents. It's sort of like a game of chess but more fun because of the hammers of doom. Thank you bungie for the opportunity to play both Grifball and Swat. Hopefully you could introduce a new game variant (cough scorpian tank wars cough) as i've enjoyed these so much. Thanks for all you've given. Keep it up!

Don't get me wrong but turning either of those playlists into ranked would lead to boosting,
or even be heaven for someone who standby's. I mean server problems on a ranked swatt game ='s ownage on you. And Grifball gives rediculous ammounts of kills and medles - even the most unskilled halo player can kill with a gravity hammer and get extermination/killwhater
Both are really fun and would be great in social - minus getting a top tool of destruction as gravhammer... if it became a playlist of its own hopefully it would be neither ranked or social but still give experience for winning.

It's complecated and that's probably why bungie hasen't done it.

It would be great to have it as a saocial playlist PLZZZ BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!

In other matters, it would be SO FUN GREAT to have like a specility room. In which you can play for example only shotty snipers, snipers, br, swords, rockets, etc. So for example if you come in and you want to play, gain experience, but at the same time practice your Sniping, it would be cool to have it in a playlist not in custom only so you can play more ppl not only your friends!!!
