Thoughts on Grifball Gameplay?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

IT’S FINALLY HERE :smiley: So we got some gameplay of Grifball this morning and it looks fantastic. See it Here

  1. It’s a Hockey rink! I’m Canadian so this makes me giddy for obvious reasons lol.
  2. They made the ball carrier orange. I know it’s minor, but long times fans will notice and it was important to get right.
  3. The sound of the Grav Hammer is SWEET. Reaches a little far, but it competes with the sword nicely so it’s balanced well for the mode.

What do you guys think of the gameplay? As an avid Grifball fan I’m PUMPED for this.

It’s grifball!

3

Exactly what I expected.
Not a fan of the grav hammer sound (it’s too quite) doesn’t sound like something that makes a lot of force.

4

I want EXPLOSIONS!!!

5

The grav hammer should be so much louder than the sword.

6

Shame it has abilities now, kind of ruins Griffball. Makes no sense to include them, rather see Griffball go back to it routes, closest attempt to good Griffball was Halo Reach but there’s no reason needed for this spartan charge in Griffball.

7

There better not be a betrayal penalty.

Well you can always just grab a group and make a custom version of it with abilities turned off

What if they had a suicide penalty and the ending explosion counted

well the main game has abilities so it would make no sense to not include them.

Anyway it looks fun though I find it a shame that its not round based, I prefer resets after each score to prevent ball camping

Looks like griffball

I hope there is. I stopped playing grifball for a while because of people who instead of quitting when they were losing would just team kill.

Hopefully or the playlist will just be a one-off play then back to farming REQ’s in Warzone.

I was hoping it would be round based like regular grifball. It was really fun having everyone charge for the ball after every score. And that announcer got annoying really fast.

15

The gameplay still looks fun. The team killing and spawn killing is still a thing but that’s grifball for you.

16

I am worried about the Betrayal situation, but that’s Grifball for you. It’s bee a thing since H3 so I don’t see it ending anytime soon.

Lmao, sad part is… I could see 343 doing this

looks interesting

Looks like it’ll be fun. I don’t mind the addition of spartan abilities, adds a new flair to it. Classic Grifball playlist would be alright, but It might split the grifball population up, which would make matchmaking worse in both.
