Maybe…
Nice!
Now when we see the live stream the one question I’ll be asking is… Can you farm req points from this like in reach?
Map is so boring, but i’m happy)
I don’t see what all the waiting was for. They claimed it was to perfect Grifball with Halo 5 mechanics, but nothing’s changed. The only thing different is the announcer talks way too much, there is no explosion when the bomb is planted, and you can throw the ball. So much for that.
Being Canadian, I highly appreciate 343 for making that arena! 
Thank god Hammer kills give Brawler medals. That’ll help out a ton for Company Commendations.
Edit: nevermind…

Being cynical doesn’t make you sound well-spoken or smart. Just be happy that we have it.

I’m not being cynical. I’m criticizing the fact that 343 said they didn’t rush this gamemode because they wanted it to make it very different from past Grifballs, but it hardly changed. Not that I’m complaining, but I just don’t see what the 4-5 months of waiting was for. And the announcer is slightly annoying. And the explosion was supposed to kill Grif because that was the point of Grifball if you know what I mean. I like the new throwing system, but I hope it doesn’t ruin the effect of Grifball. Being so optimistic will get 343i to get lazier by the year.

I’ve seen plenty of your comments before on these forums. One of the worst notions that many critics assume is that being cynical and nit-picky will make them sound significant. All it does is makes them sound depressing. You’re always that one guy that has to be bitter about everything 343 does. As a matter of fact, your nit-picks have to do with the fact that Grifball is different, because you haven’t even played it yet.
According to my deductive reasoning, you just have some evident anti-343 bias that you need to get over.

‘New throwing system’’. You clearly didn’t play Halo 4. This is an exact copy of Halo 4 Grifball. I understand what you mean with the wait, there is no reason for them to wait this long. I just can’t stand half this f-in community. We’re finally getting this amazing game mode and yet, people are whining like freaking babies already, It’s not like Reach, no. Reach grifball wasn’t any fun at all compared to halo 4.
‘‘People are going to spawn trap’’ Well, pretty obvious that is what grifball is about, get used to it, it won’t bother you that much when you’re playing.
Wooow, sounds really fun!!
oh man oh man oh man!!

But did they bury a loonie at centre ice, eh?

No explosions?
Seriously?

doesn’t suprise . Just look at the awkward vehicle explosions in h5. For some reason they totally yoinked explosions up
