Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend: Grifball
Posted Apr 3rd 2008 10:00PM by Terrence Stasse
Filed under: News, Xbox Live, Multiplayer
The
Halo 3 Double EXP Weekends
continue on (in spite of whatever day the calender insists it is) with the
very latest playlist addition: Grifball. The Grav Hammer based fan-favorite gametype is firmly grounded in Foundry and is loosely based on soccer. For those who are arriving late to
the Grifball party, the game is very simple: get the ball in the goal without dying. But you'll have to try to get your playing in before 2am Monday morning, as that's when the "Double EXP Weekend" ends. The Grifball playlist is live now.

You're stupid. Learn punctuation.
Then you're little obnoxious posts will be only half as annoying.
Maybe you can use the Shift Key on the important words, and leave the Caps Key back in 2001, on AOL.
Go play cakadookiesfloor, assclown.

I had figured they ran Grifball for the first double XP weekend as a last chance to get people to pay for the DLC. I'm glad they're bringing it back.

Grifball is freaking awesome, if you have a party with a strategy.

Indeed, if you can get a pair of teams that are both good at it and don't just go charging in the matches are epic.

yeah, getting overkills and higher are pretty easy in grifball, seeing as how your betrayals count towards your combo,

I got a Killionaire in three games in a row last night. I'd never actually seen that in-game before.
Once you get good at Grifball its a ton of fun. My team won 22 matches in a row. Easiest way to get EXP ever.

Is there any chance that grifball will get onto a ranked playlist and stay there?

i second the notion of grifball being a permanent playlist or a gametype in a playlist rotation (like rocket race)
