Halo 4: 343 confirms "ball games" at PAX
More interesting is the introduction of Grifball game mode to native, since in the past it was a created by communities and mode based on Assault mode. The purpose remains the same: two teams of four players collide in an open and unimpeded arena with the aim to bring the ball into the opposing goal to make the point. The game allows use of hammers and blades, for which different rules apply: If we use the hammer to hit the ball carrier, get an instant kill but this will shoot way off the field, while using the knife killing is less certain but if successful will get automatically the ball. This is a mode where team play is essential with all members met to coordinate to effectively defend their destination or their ball carrier. We show you the two modes in the same video.
