Grifball Reveal!

I am probably quite late to the party but Bravo has posted a video of the Grifball Reveal!

What do you think about the new style of Grifball? Ball throwing, Swording the bomb carrier gives you the bomb, hitting the bomb with the gravity hammer causes it to move.

I personally don’t like the whole “throwing the ball” tactic, but I’ll have to live. All I know is i’m happy there is no Grifball playlist, because that was just stat -Yoink!- central.

So what do all of you fine Ladies and Gentlemen think of the new Grifball?

EDIT:Did anyone notice that the Gravity Hammer had a squeeky sound effect when used?

Im Not a Fan …

I don’t like the way its looking
Although I don’t really play griffball so
IDK

haha what does the commentator say when your controller disconnects?

Would be nice if they had a variant where you can’t throw it, which might be the case, then we get the best of both worlds.

Hope there will be a grief ball playlist then I can choose to play it on the very rare occasion I want to.

I’m against it but i’m not…

I really wish they would not try to spice everything up, especially stuff that doesn’t need spiced up, but at the same time all these changes create a new challenge of learning different tricks and strategies.

It may sound weird but this is kind of a replacement for trick jumping for me, reach ruined trick jumping because there was no point, you had a jetpack, and since the jetpack is also in Halo 4 there will also be no point, so being able to learn different Grifball tricks is going to be my pass time with my friends.

Yeah, hopefully there are both versions, anyways not to get off topic but regarding the whole “turn off the new changes” topic, I saw a thread regarding the sticky flag and locked flag changes being permanent and that you cannot turn them off, is this true?

I unfortunately saw a thread hours ago regarding this, but I unfortunately lost it.

Actually passing the ball so you can play a ball game that requires formation, tactic, and skill?

Griffball just became something other than a host fest.

There better be a grifball playlist. I can’t wait to play the new grifball

> There better be a grifball playlist. I can’t wait to play the new grifball

It’s been confirmed that it won’t be getting it’s own playlist.

I like the new changes. It’s awesome to see that even Grifball is getting some changes.

Griffball has evolved nicely IMO and it will be much more fun to play.

Passing the ball can be annoying if some people abuse it, but Griffball was annoying sometimes already. :slight_smile:

I’m happy they have made it better. New changes look pretty good.

I’m sorry but that Gravity Hammer sounds awful, where is its sense of weight and power? Instead of a powerful thud it’s just a twinkle

> I’m sorry but that Gravity Hammer sounds awful, where is its sense of weight and power? Instead of a powerful thud it’s just a twinkle

Unfortunately it sounds exactly as you described it, did you hear that awful squeeking noise it makes when it is used? Ew, that’s just nasty

Haha I really like it.

I must be a total freak lol.

Precisely, imagine how irritating it will be in Grifball games when every one is spamming Hammers or even in custom games. It will most likely make me turn down my tv if it sounds as horrible as it does now. Just a sheer disappointment at the Audio team now, they have done good by some guns and weapons but bad by others.

I like the effort they are putting in put I just don’t think they should change the sound too much of iconic weapons, the Gravity Hammer being a prime example in Halo 4 and sounds terrible.

Mght also have something to do with the fact that the video was filmed off screen.

The new features are really going to change the way grifball is played. I cant wait to try it.

With the exception of the new Gravity hammer, everything looks smashing. I really wonder how much passing the ball to Team mate will mix up gameplay.
