Seems to me it would have been alot cooler of bungie to recognize some of the infinate number of other Basketball, rugby and football game types out there **created by players** rather than giving all the kudos to the production team form Blue v. Red... I mean...it's not like any of this is new, other than the map and all the attention Bungie has decided to shower on them for it.
This is probably the best rugby mode there is though. It's just the map, bungie stickied it, and it's just Foundry canvas, which is also on bungie favorites, but slightly changed for the mode.
All custom games night is gonna turn into is everyone shouting, "GRIFBALL!" at the top of their lungs.
Agreed @ Carebear. GRIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!! WEE WANT IT NOW!!!!!!! But are they going to get it? Maybe once
Bungie is probably trying to make a point that if you put the effort into something it can turn out to be a very good game. Grifball is one of the best put together "ball" games I've seen in Halo 3 yet.
ah man Griff ball is awsome , but thats just my opinion, the map is simple , really really simple , but i sometimes less is more (hehe) griff ball is accually a fun game to play in 2v2 but is best played 3v3 or higher, i played (i accually hav it and love it ) its really fun , i suggest to download and give it a try , i dont know it might not appeal to everyone
I'd love to play a proper game of Grifball. I've played 4 v 4 but that was at a friends party and it wasn't too good because half of the players weren't too good gamers. The other time I played was 2v2, also sucked because my team mate found it rather funny to kill me repeatedly.
i dont know why but when i read about this map on Bnet i was annoyed and really didnt want to download it. maybe it was the yellow description, i dont know why. i just moved on to other things.
Anyone want to start an official* Forgehub Grifball Team? We need 7 people I think, but if we have 10 or so we can split the team into 2 and keep the extra 3 on the bench and rotate them in. *Unofficially official. This team is not (yet) endorsed by the Forge Hub crew.
It is forgehub's policy not to have a clan. Remember this is a community! So, you may go find some members in this community to start a team with your own name, not forgehub's. If you want to find some people start a topic in off-topic to find players. This thread is reserved for comments about the map, but thanks for asking!
I own at this map! I got MVP two matches in a row, and helped keep the other team from scoring at all in the first one!
This is such a fun game to play, I love getting triples on stupid people who decide to try to fly through the air.
