Polygon just put this up and I was wondering why they Ball does not do a mega explosion and restart the round? This what made every round of Grifball new and fresh, It is so easy to get spawn trapped by this, you don’t even know. It made the matches go a lot fast and my the first push at the start of each round important. Now there is only time in a whole match for that initial dog fight to happen. I don’t understand this change at all.
Edit: 02/26/16
Like I thought what was going to happen has
Link It has already started and it hasn’t even been 4 days
I feel like we should spread awareness of how often this will happen because this can’t be the only video out there about this happening
PS: thank you Richnj for letting me use that video you recorded

like I was ok with it until it reached that one spot of the bomb not doing a mega detonation and ending the round. I think everything else is fine and the ball looks great, but that one part, I am not a fan of at all

And it has so many problems that could easily be fix if it went back to normal. There are so many problems with the way halo 4 did grifball. I would rather have a small 2 minutes of getting spawn killed then 10+ minutes of the possibility.

the OBVIOUS answer is, grifball is no longer a round based gametype? because it slows down the gamemode? and that is why they changed it? stop and go, is a lot more boring then continuous play. can you imagine how boring basketball would be if after every score… they had to do the jump ball again?

With the implementation of scripting you will be able to cause an explosion in a map of your own and thus making it like it was back in H3 and Reach.

As getatme wrote, H4 and later titles is far more fast pased, but going back to my text above, it’s easy to fix that in forge. It might not be implemented into matchmaking but you can still have the old fun i customs.

I disagree. Sometimes certain game modes are better off with round resets. Breakout is one and I think grifball should reset rounds too.

You make’a no sense. Soccer, American football, rugby, ice hockey… I could go on. They changed the game from its origins… reset didn’t slow down -Yoink-, same way it doesn’t in break out.

Are people lost into the sauce, it was round based In halo 4 as well with a reset after a detonation goal. could find link and show you right up.Only tactic to this halo 5 version is, get as many kills.

This was grifball pro not standard grifball, this was probably made to appease the H3 peeps who didnt like the changes.
