Grifball Madness

Finally, someone made a Halo 3 gametype that is actually popular and fun to play! I've been getting tired of open arena style FFA gametypes (ex. Demolition Derby), themed gametypes (ex. Normandy beach), and other random crap. Sure, some have made gametypes that are fun before, but usually what I find fun and what others find fun aren't exactly the same. I guess what I really like about Grifball is that it doesn't involve shooting (which for a FPS game, is pretty unique).

This is a very simple gametype with subtle strategy. Simple minded gamers will likely find this gametype very tiresome and won't want to play it. To me, the most effective strategy seems to mirror strategy you find on the football field (that's American football for you Brits, LOL). Anyone who has experience running a football and effectively using blockers to gain yards will be right at home as the bomb carrier in this gametype.

Recently the creators of the gametype (those guys over at Rooster Teeth Productions) created a league to match teams up against each other in some semblance of a competition. While I didn't notice until after the winter league was done, tomorrow I'm going to try and sign up our team for the spring league. Our team is pretty much made of people from RCG who already enjoy gaming together so teamwork shouldn't be a problem.
