Ricochet is Returning!

Confirmed. (okay, it was retweeted by the official Halo account)

I’m excited. I loved Ricochet. Still haven’t played it H2A since NO ONE VOTES FOR IT!

But, um … yeah, looking forward to it in Halo 5.

Ricochet is the only gamemode I never played before, whats it like is it a griffball clone?

Thanks to me it just looks like central 1 bomb assault without round end timers and no carry weight penalty.

I had quite a lot of fun with ricochet and grifball. I’m ready to see what other sports they come up with. But yea Ricochet never gets voted for on MCC. Team Slayer basically boils down to halo 3.

WHOO HOO!! I LOVED RICOCHET

You can throw the ball in the goal for 20 points or run it in for 50; you can also pass the ball and intercept it.

Plus the Ricochet ball is a flamin’ skull, the bomb’s just plain boring.

So its a weird cross between assault, griffball, and the skull from headhunter mixed with american football? sounds fun XD

It will play amazing in H5. It doesn’t play well in Halo 2A because it’s just too easy, especially on Shrine.

Yes!!! I loooove Ricochet. Haven’t played it in H2A yet, but Halo 4’s ricochet was so addicting and fun. I was a beast ball carrier back in the day.

It’s actually really bad in H2A, it’s so much better in H4 because the gameplay is (I’m going to get so much hate) faster.

I do love Ricochet. I just wish i had a team for it. Halo 4 had some good maps for it. H2 not so much. I do however hop that the ball does become a flamming skull again.

That’s not confirming anything. The dude doesn’t work at 343i and doesn’t decide anything, he’s just as valid as you and I but the only thing different is that he creates video content about Halo.

And it’s not retweeted, nor favourited, by the official Halo account, check the retweets.

I wouldn’t mind Ricochet in Halo 5 but personally I don’t like it from a competetive view. As a small mini-game gametype like griffball I’m fine with it.

Yes it is. It’s the second thing down.

Proof Pudding

It would be cool the see it come back.

Now that Ricochet is confirmed (or at least it looks like), i hope they confirm that they are also bringing back griffball.

This!!! This right here needs to be. I miss griffball so much

Yeah, after I made the thread, I realized it was just in a retweet, so I added that tidbit. Of course, why else would they retweet it?

Never played a match, but from seeing gameplay, being an avid grifball fan, and running around the EMP-tower H4 map on my own like a sad person, I think I’d love it. Hope I get to play it in H5, it’d be insane with thrust. I wonder if you could interrupt a ground pound by throwing the ball at someone?
