Grifball

by misplacedyank

The sport of the future arrives today. Pick up those Gravity Hammers and Energy Swords and get ready for the most epic of faceoffs with the return of Grifball!Originally a throwaway joke in the legendary Red vs Blue series, Rooster Teeth set out to make all of Grif’s dreams a reality and created Grifball with the tools at their disposal in Halo 3’s Forge.The game is simple:Smash enemies. Score goals. If you make it to the middle and grab the ball, you are blessed with an Overshield and turn orange in homage to the one and only Grif. (That OS won’t save you from friendly fire so don’t get too close to your friends!) As the runner, your goal is so easy: just score it. All you gotta do is walk over the plant and get a point. How hard can it be? Not like there’s 7 other people on the court, 4 of whom are not on your team, in your way or anything.Jokes aside, Grifball has three weapons:Gravity HammerEnergy SwordBall (or Bomb…depends who you ask)All of which combine to a delicate paper-rock-...

Legacy playlists are not new to Halo Infinite. We’ve had playlists inspired by both Halo 2 and Halo 3 already in Delta Arena and Halo 3: Refueled, respectively. The Mountain Dew fueled nostalgia hits hard so how about a Halo 3 inspired Delta Arena?Retro RecapIf you played Delta Arena during the Great Journey, this should look and feel familiar to you. You can think of this playlist as a modernized version of the legacy settings from the Xbox 360 days. So what can you expect to see as a Spartan when you jump in to play?No sprintNo clamberIncreased jump heightFriendly player collisionThis should all lend itself to a movement set that feels pretty familiar overall. You’ll be playing the following modes:Team SlayerOddballKing of the HillCapture the FlagOne Flag and normal CTFAssaultOne Bomb and Neutral BombMA5K vs BR75Every mode in the Halo 3 Delta Arena playlist will come in two versions: MA5K starts and BR75 starts.

New Halo Infinite update breathes extra life and big ideas into the FPS game

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Every time I come back to Halo Infinite, I'm reminded how good it feels to play. Halo Studios (formerly 343 Industries) nails the sense of weight and movement, and the Spartan power fantasy across the entire experience, but it's especially noticeable in Infinite's multiplayer. The breadth of tools at your disposal makes it one of the best online sandboxes around, and the latest update is a big one. Even with Halo's Unreal Engine future looking incredibly bright, now's the time to give Infinite another shot. Read the rest of the story...

Johnson Academy of Military Science. In your typical fireteam size of four you’ll be squadding up to stand your ground. Our first taste of this linear Firefight mode came with Ardent Prayer back at launch. “What does linear Firefight mean?” Thank you for asking, I’d love to tell you. Rather than simply defend hills or race ahead to each hill, you’ll find this mode progresses and gets a bit more difficult at each turn. a campaign, this experience moves forward sequentially – you’ll need to finish one battle before you can move forward and start another. In short, Firefight: Battle of t...
