It will have a game variant that will come included into the zip file when you download the maps, but due to CE things (and lack of assault variants and others) it has to been built in the map, so you will have to play in these special grifball maps if you want to play grifball.

ok so we will load the "grifball" map and then play with the "grifball" variant or else it wont work right?

Thats correct. Our maps will be the only griffball maps compatible with it.

yes, even tho i made it compatible enough so you can still play grifball without the variant...it wont be as good though, so in other words, play with the variant!

Do you plan on releasing how to make a "grifball" map, so that others could make their own?

That is up to Arbiter. Thats his department. I believe I can speak for all of us when I saw the development of griffball isn't far enough to answer questions like that though.

indeed, but maybe i would consider making a tut or something when we stop making grifball maps, or when we run out of fun concepts for courts lol...that wont be any soon tho

Uh, what's Griffball?

That should answer all your griffball questions.

Oh, that. Why does everyone love it so much?

" Grifball is an extremely fast paced sport game type that's played on an open court between two teams of four players. Each team has a goal and each player carries a gravity hammer and an energy sword. In the center of the arena is a single ball that can be picked up by anyone on the field. Each match consists of 5 rounds, with each round ending when someone slams the ball into their opponent's goal. The team with the most goals wins.

It's a very simple game by design, but it's an enormous amount of non-stop action. At any point in time, you are either on defense with your 3 teammates guarding your goal or you are on offense as the ball carrier with three blockers. In a second, the game can turn and you have to be ready to seamlessly change roles. "


heres the official halo3 grifball site...it includes a video

Too late. Geo posted a link and I was done reading it before you psoted that.

It's just an interesting game varient that we all enjoyed, so we decided to make a CE version of it.

Okay. Sounds like Assualt but instead of a flag, a Ball.

exactly, by that, it offers more than 2 courts (halo 3 only has foundry and zanzibar)...we can make any court we want, in the place and time we want.

The first court we will release will be in a forerunner structure in the icey installation 02. But for now no pics :)

Zanzibar? Where can you play something like that there?

In the beach...its called beach grifball, the rest of zanzibar is blocked up with forge items so you cant go through

Alright. I feel like I'm spamming this thread...

Anyway, good luck.

Do your energy swords work properly?

Yes they do. They sync perfectly.

:O

E: I take it they don't use damage_effects?

I'm not sure how arbiter did it. He would need to answer that.

it had something to do with 3p animations. arby and i figured it out like... last summer. i cant remember exactly what we did though. i dont think it required any scripting though

it does require a script...but for a small thing
and yeah 3p animations

-.- Guys don't bite off more than we know we can chew. We havent even tested that yet

The impossible is just relative, and this one is made out of things i know that can be moved together, i give it a 95% of working perfectly, so have faith.

I wish I had sent this before you posted all this, so I guess I'll just post the pics myself. :)

The Spiker was outdated. (pics from my test map)
