SPARTAN 117 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Vanilla Grifball is my personal favorite gametype. It seems a lot of people really hate grifball because it is imperfect and many times you are pitted with a "not so preferred" team. Grifball's 2 major flaws are friendly fire and spawn killing. Many times teammates will kill other teammates for the pleasure of ruining the game and wrecking others' k/d spread. Many good players enjoy waiting at the other team's spawn line and wait for players to immediately kill. These 2 detriments can be easily fixed if Bungie would simply turn off friendly fire and somehow not allow gravity hammer boosting, and by adding new spawn points at various other points on each team's side so spawn killers will actually have to fight for kills and, God willing, actually play the game the way it is supposed to be played. Vote "Yes" in any of the 2 offered languages if you agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vore Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I agree that friendly fire should be turned off for sure but if there were different spawn locations on the maps that would give an unfair advantage. PS: For this to be a poll you should have a no option and give an option for each question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Pwn Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 i disagree, while both can be annoying i think they add to grifball's charm, i think being imperfect is what makes grifball fun and a great game type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectral Jester Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hostball desperately needs servers, I always seem to get opponents with crappy connections/lag, I swing actually hit them with hammer, nothing I die wtf?

Archangel Tyrael Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I play griffball sometimes, it's like they have amazing range with the hammer, i try to do the same thing they kill me like its easy as pie. It's weird i just don't like griffball much unless I'm with friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Grifball is fun because it is so random. it is boring because it is so repetitive. Grifball sucks in general. play action sack, WAY more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan2run Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I only like the option for "other" spawns when you are getting spawn killed by the other team. And maybe still keep friendly fire, but have the damage inflicted by a teammate be less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MASTER RECON118 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 lol @ Vote "Yes" if you believe that grifball would be perfect if friendly fire was gone and more spawn zones for each team were added you can vote: yes and sí so you can only vote yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: For this to be a poll you should have a no option and give an option for each question. well anything that deters spawn killing should be present, even if that means adding more spawn points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 After last night yep friendly fire off 3 or 4 games on the trot some idiot killing his own team mates over and over again. Presumably to get the games finished quicker so he could get the daily for played 17 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think Reach should get servers, cause its mad, how people spam their dmr's, how I'm shot behind walls, how people's shields don't go down. This is Reach's biggest problem, not just Grifball's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree in this day and age I find it amazing that all online games are not server based, I saw the improvement when Gears 2 MM switched to servers.
