Grifball Sweaties?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’ve noticed an increasing amount of tryhards in Grifball. More people are passing the ball hardcore, trying to spawn trap, etc.
Anyone else notice this as well?

I’ve noticed it here and there but we usually beat them. My deal with Grifball is betraying 2 members of my team on accident, wiping out the entire enemy team right before they reached our plate to try and score and then I get booted out of the match. That pisses me off, right there. It’s Grifball. Betrayals are going to happen, that’s a part of the game. Take the kick option out of it.

I’ve noticed an increasing amount of idiots using the word “tryhards”…

From my perspective, the fun of Grifball games is accomplished by having those intensely close games. Regarding the topic of the forum post itself, with more knowledge comes more ways to strategize and it’s a natural thing. Passing the ball to teammates who are sitting at the goal is often the fault of the players for not utilizing their visual senses. As for spawn trapping, it can be tedious, but it’s ultimately the players who can stop it.

My only issue with Grifball, aside the betrayal booting and out-of-map cheaters, are the people who only play it for kills. I call those players “useless” because they’re not in sync with the team’s goals. True, slaying can be a benefit to defend one’s self and eliminate the enemy ball carrier, but if the focus isn’t to win, then we have a problem.

I always try to spawn trap or at least get behind the enemy so I can pick a few off, the reason I do this is because it gives your team a much easier time when they’ve got the ball.

Tryhards or people enjoying the game. They love it that they become skilled and work together more. You gotta love a challenge and not trashing kids and get a killtrocity. Seriously they stood there and did nothing, so I hammered them :3

“tryhards”

nah, just sounds like you are getting beat by better players when all you want to do is pad your KD with MOAR HAMMER SWINGS

i have 5-0’d plenty of teams that just want to run around getting kills

if anything i enjoy the matches where we trade goals or even have long cat and mouse chases over getting the ball because that means

  1. they know how to play offense/defense

  2. they are smart and dont run straight for the goal when 3 of the enemies are spawning

  3. we dont have 3 scrubs running for 1 guy and 1 teammate gets the kill as well as betraying the other 2 giving the enemy a chance to score

Yea what are you talking about OP? Passing the ball hardcore? That’s part of the game my friend.

9

I try hard all the time, I didnt drop that arena win boost just to watch the enemy -Yoink- around

10

OP’s logic: I was beat by a better team therefore they must be a bunch of "tryhards’ and “sweaties”.

11

smh, the people that use words like tryhard and sweaty never see the irony

12

Tryhards or not, having the ability to betrayal boot has ruined Grifball for me. And Spartan Charge should just be disabled in Grifball. It ruins the whole Rock/Paper/Scissors dynamic of the game. It’s more like Rock/Paper/Scissors < Plasma Torch.

13

I don’t care about sweaty grifball, but I do care when people take it seriously to the point of cheating, via getting out the map to score. That’s the weakest -Yoink- I’ve ever seen in Grifball, and 343 still hasn’t fixed it. I’m sorry are we waiting for the next update to hot fix 1 map that they couldn’t bother to put killzones on?

14

It fun to do those type of things because people fly to the ball so quickly. You pass it and score. Makes people stop to wonder where everyone is at.

I’ve been doing that.
Not trying honestly, just good team mates playing a “sport.”

No offence for putting sport in quotes.

I have in fact seen multiple people throw the ball at our goal, even when they have no team mates near it.

but y doe

This is totally unrelated to OP.

Also, its not that hard to not kill your teammates, just use a little self control and don’t swing at an enemy that’s on top of a teammate.

Most likely they don’t want the enemy team having an easier goal.

It’s funny because the guy complaining is one of them. Haha this is hilarious. Someone that was once the problem is now complaining about it. Too funny.
