I think this is a pretty straightforward yes or no question here, feel free to answer why if you so feel inclined to.

I personally have been a huge fan of Grifball from its creation in Halo 3. I love it and feel I am pretty good at it but I never got into any serious league play.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

If you enjoy grifball you should set yourself on fire

drinking sulfuric acid doesn't seem like a bad idea either

I enjoyed grifball ever since the good ol days of Halo 3 and even particpated in a couple of leagues. That being said, I don't enjoy Grifball in Halo Reach. It just feels so different. The lack of being able to launch teammates, the damage, the healthpacks, the inclusion in certain gametypes with armor abilites...it just doesn't feel like Grifball.

"Everyone, fire at Will!"
"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

I don't know if it's because of lag or not, but the hammer just doesn't have a predictable "sweet spot" like it did in Halo 3.
Plus, it was better back when Halo was colorful and interesting.

Running around in a gray box with a host dependent hammer isn't very fun.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Sucks.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I remember getting killionaires in H3, now I can't even get a double kill without trading with someone. If it was up to me grifball wouldn't be a playlist.

Grifball was fun for a day when I played it in Halo 3.

Otherwise it's a stupid gametype. Why players aren't spawning with brief invulnerability is beyond me.

Always up for REACH customs!

Nope, but I didn't like it in Halo 3 either. I really don't care for any mini-games without shooting.

Nope. It's fun for casual play, but when you get someone like me who's into competitive play, it's infuriating getting killed by someone who I am obviously more skilled than. It's like SWAT. I could out DMR 99% of players in SWAT if there was the regular 4 shot shield+1 headshot.

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

Grifball has always sucked. It just sucks more because Reach sucks.

This this and this. I miss foundry and and the other various Grifball maps of Halo 3.

I miss being able to kill the host if you were good enough.

But most of all, I miss how you could "fish" with an energy sword.

No need for that laddy. The most general conclusion is that Halo 3 Grifball was and always will be better than lolReach's.

Agreed, alot more people enjoyed Grifball in Halo 3 then they do in Halo Reach. Grifball was amazingly fun in Halo 3. Lauching People, pulling a flowers, bonking....so much fun.

also halo reach its used for credit boosting, halo 3 you spawn killed to get bragging rights with a friend. it was way better in H3

  • 05.16.2012 10:42 AM PDT

i dont make a point to play a lot of it, but on occasion it can be quite fun. especially if i just wanna mess around. 3 or reach; they seem the same to me.

gotta have a full party with good connections or be on LAN though.

League play is a lot of people exploiting bad connections to launch higher, and using button glitches in dash. Stick with just playing. Or, bug 343 to put up grifball as a permanent playlist in H3, I'd ditch Reach's grifball in an instant if they could do forced-spartan grifball in h3.

Could not agree more. It was the same way in HALO 3.

the only time I played griffball was back in Halo 3 when they made it ranked for that week or two in december. I played it to troll players who thought getting a 50 in that playlist meant skill lol
