I’ve been very critical of 343 and I will continue to be critical, however, I have to give 343 props on this… Grifball in halo 5 is not only the best itteration of grifball i think we’ve ever seen, it’s also the most fun I’ve had in halo 5 so far. the spartan abilities complement grifball so well! The gravity hammer feels better than ever (sounds a bit off but thats just a nit pick) And the assassination it has is -Yoink!- awesome, I love ball throwing and actually having a ball pickup button helps avoid those akward moments you’d get in halo 4. Even when Im loosing Im having fun cracking skulls and very rarely do i get less than 45 kills in a match, my top score being 83 kills! Gushing aside there is one thing that needs fixing, the betrayal booting, that -Yoink- is annoying. Halo 5 was a huge disapointment to me and 343’s sustain plan didn’t help IMO but stuff like this serves as a light at the end of the tunnel, this is a step in the right direction 343 but You still have a long way to go. Halo 6 needs this stuff at launch in order to preserve it’s population and you need to communicate with us more, you have shown improvement but again you have a long way to go. you’re closer to earning my respect and many others. GG 343, GG. Thanks for reading. Thoughts? Opinions?
Yeah, it’s the best iteration yet, but it’s completely ruined due to the booting system. Because betrayals are so common in Grifball, you’ll get booted from half of your matches.
In addition the roles of the grifball players seem to be more refined now, probably just me.

I got booted from a match for my first time today, I had around 38 kills and we were 6 mins in. Needless to say, I was pissed.
I really like it. I just wish it wasn’t on a forge map, forge maps are just too ugly for me. 
I liked the halo 3 variant the best. That’s just me. I still have fun on this one though.

halo 3 grifball is ok to me. It started it all but the others perfected the formula and built upon it. gets points for nostalgia and the good memories i had with it.
Bravo already said that they are looking into changing the how the betrayal booting works in grifball.

Thats good to hear.
Yeah the booting and future bans…
Love this game type. But it’s very hard not to nail ur teammate ( not caring) running in front of u while hammer coming down

yea that sucks, It’s going to get fixed though, i hope sooner rather than later.
I had a game with kids on my team. More or less thought flying deaths was funny no matter what team the guys they was hitting was on…
So grief ball is in a shelf till boot thing gets fixed.
They just need to turn off friendly fire and it will be perfect.
Had a bit of rough time trying to win the last match, but I think I’ll adjust though. It’s great to have it back in the game again, Grif would be so proud.
Enjoying it but I really wish some of the other players would be aware of their teammates and actually throw the ball to them. I’ve had a dozen time where I’m on the goal with the other team ignoring me and the guy with the ball is cornered. Toss the damn ball to me!

I totally agree! They need to get rid of booting in this gametype. I’ve not been booted but the stupid screen comes up asking if I want to boot so and so at the most inopportune times!
I haven’t been booted from a grifball for a betrayal YET. I mostly get booted cause of my stupid internet.
But I have to give 343 props on one thing for grifball so far other than a usable gravity hammer compared to the Halo 4 variant: A hockey arena made in forge. I mean most people don’t like the whole forge-map concept which I respect, but I like that idea IMO.
Ehhh I’d love to have a griffball version without armor abilities. Everything else is great besides betrayal booting. Griffball has always had betrayals, it’s a natural part of the game and I’d rather it stay. However… I wish people know the difference between purposely team killing and accidentally team killing. Could give so many examples and some where I had game changing plays (where I team killing accidentally in the process) only to get booted right after.
