In Response To: Re: Grifball Evolved (padraig08)


: yea I don't know with the new engine and all, it just seems different. But
: I'm sure they'll fine tune it to feel as close to grifball as possible.
: The physics throw me off sometimes with the hammer in reach.

It's pretty much as close as it can get. Changes to Halo's physics, the inclusion of fall damage, and the reemergence of the health system make for a very, very different Grifball no matter what. So many little things have been changed that really make the gametype not feel like Grifball at all.

Some of the biggest changes being:
-Launching is gone, both at the start when you launch your tanks forward and launching the ball guy. -The sword is nearly useless except against the ball carrier on occasion.

So yeah the new Grifball is pretty much hammer vs hammer, on the ground, across a giant field for 9 rounds =(. It has its moments, but the reception isn't exactly great at the moment. Personally I think with Reach Grifball is done, which is kinda sad, but we'll see.
