Subject: Grifball A S S H O L E S

Grifball to me is a pretty fun game to play since I've gotten a hang of the techniques.

I like to play the Grifball playlist for fun, I don't worry about my kill/death, and I enjoy the experience.

Although, over the past couple of days I ran across a few pre-grouped teams of four that have figured out a way to tamper with the practical goal of the gametype in order to improve thier kill/deaths.

Camping. By the oppposite team side spawns. Three teammates, two placed on the left and right sides of the spawns, and one placed on the frontal area of the opposite team spawn.

Next Step.
SPAM THE HAMMER.

For the rest of the round these campers constantly pressed the slam trigger. Result? Neverending death/immobility. No chance at completing the objective.

The Positives: The Spawn Hammer Spammers get nice kill/deaths, legendary medals, a good laugh out of tons of free, easy to obtain beat downs, and immobile opposing players.

The Negatives: The Helpless Recievers. Literal innability to play in a usually recreational game. Instead they get to look at the 3 second countdown over and over again. No fun.

Anybody else experience a similar situation? Fairly frustrating right?

Some Notes

1. This happens fairly rarely (to me at least so far), not a constant impossible obstacle.

2. I will admit, something fairly comedical happened. After being spawn killed one time, I re-spawned on a location in Forge World nowhere around the designated play area, and was inable to return to the play area. Just saw a 10 second countdown and then I died. It was somewhere on the Hemorrhage landscape.

We won, but we could tell that the opposing Team got what they wanted out of it.

It has been that way since Halo 3, if it bothers you that much get a team of four and you can easily win every game quickly.

Uh...thanks?

Very rarely, and even rarer that you can't easily break out of it. Unless you get one of those 'teams' who time it out and hammer as you spawn, and are laggy enough to not get hurt back. Just deprive them of kills and leave.

True, but if you have a team of four you are less likely to get spawn trapped, and less likely to have team mates that just go for kills.

Yeah...I just dont leave games anymore, because...I just feel like such a quitter. And I hate quitters. But getting into a spawn kill setup...it just isn't worth the time and frustration.

Good advice.

It's fun.

Its not the only gametype to have flaws. Every game there's -blam!-s who just break the rules, -blam!- spawn-camp everywhere, its just depressing. Halo 2 matchmaking seemed a lot more when I think about it.

But they are playing for fun though? Maybe they find spawn killing you fun?

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

Your kidding us all...RIGHT....

Spawn killing is a legit tactic, in Grifball or any other playlist.

You got owned and out flanked, as so many people do in Grifball.

I have been on both sides of the fence, and ANY chance I have to spawn kill people, I do it, just like it was done to me so often, before I learned, and got BETTER....do the same.

Now go and have some milk and cookies, that should make you feel better.

i dont think, i drink

254th Inheritor in Reach 23-07-2011, 5th in AUS

this has being happening since H3, nothing new there. if you don't like it then quit the game or play something else, stop getting angry over this game.

btw you call that spawn killing, i thought they where going to have like 100 kills each and not 20?
