No offense, but I don't see how you can make Grifball "a real game".
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Grifball was fun in small doses, not something that I can play hours and hours of like good old fashion Slayer or some CTF.
Meet me behind the walmart with a ball and a hammer. I'll show you how real it gets.

Grifball confirmed for Objective playlists in Halo 4

Well, adding the ability to pass the bomb makes it much quicker and gives it more of a sport element.

This probably won't happen but hot potato should go in with the joke gametypes.
Throw ze ball Marge, throw ze ball.
Also, if we supported Grifball, it would not be a playlist.

Anything else "locked and done" that you care to share with us, oh wise one?
We either have already, or will. Except spoilers.

Is there any chance that you can elaborate on those small but important differences? Is it a difference that has an effect on matchmaking at large?
Is it a netcode change?
This makes me a happy boy. Can the same thing be said for Infection?
Although I hope Action Sack sticks around. Having some fun playing some off-the-wall gametypes (like Team Stickies or Team Fiesta) is great every once in a while.

I laughed. Not sure why.
Whoa, there actually might not be 124 playlists in H4? Fascinating.
I feel like Action Sack should be the home of all fringe gametypes.
I kind of feel like most of the people playing GB & LD are using it for boosting purposes more than anything probably. I assume the people who have like 250K kills spent a few nights in GB.
Seriously though, that would be a great Action Sack or Custom game.
That can go in the category of the HaloGAF person (heckfu? Can't remember) who planned out a version of CTF where the flag is also the hill, a bomb, and an oddball.
To me, putting Grifball and Infection in Action Sack just makes logical sense. Weigh the voting options to where Grifball and Infection come up frequently (but you're still able to play other gametypes) and that would work.I feel like Action Sack should be the home of all fringe gametypes.

I have no problem with Grifball or Grifball enthusiasts, and I'm good friends with many at GrifballHub, etc. However I don't think Grifball should have it's own dedicated playlist. 9/10 games I've been in have been used for boosting, and I've done it plenty of times myself. The only reason I go into Grifball anymore is to nab some quick cR from challenges.
I'm pretty sure the only legitimate Grifball games are the ones played in GrifballHub, AGLA, or other Grifball league games (which are through customs). Even the "Grifball Pros" I've played with boost/spawn kill every game. Online, they take advantage of their own gametype.

I hope it just means a gravity hammer will never 'grace' a Halo game again. But that's probably hoping too much.
This actually sounds like a lot of fun. Bombs, bombs everywhere.

Someone here asked about if it's possible when tossing the ball instead you might toss the flag?
Can this also apply to any weapon or object carrying/picking up (swapping) be tossed with the same method?

I was just thinking about this. It would be cool if we could pass the bomb!
Agreed, I loved action sack in Halo 3. Didn't play it that much in Reach.

I saw this ad a few months back. It's where I get my razors. I kid you not.
Reach's Action Sack has too much...randomness of a variety. Hockey, HaloBall (HaloBall Xtreme), Shotty Snipers, Hotshot, Shotgun Assault, BOOM! Ball, it's awfully sporadic for me. If I recall correctly, Halo 3's Action Sack had a slew of gametypes, however they were mostly Slayer based, like Team Fiesta or Stickies.

All this talk of random gametypes and throwing objectives has got me thinkin'. They should let you throw the flag like a spear, just imagine impaling 4 nubs in a row to get the kebab overkill (kebaberkill?) extermination. You could pin people to walls and everything! Screw balance, the flag carrier should be the strongest player on the map, duh.
In all seriousness though, I do really look forward to seeing some of the new features changing up stuff like Grifball. I rarely play it myself, but it's fun every now and again.
Edit: Some people already beat me to this line of thinking

grifball is pointless if you can't get a
I remember when they decided to put Grifball as a Ranked double exp on Halo 3 for the weekend, the amount of people playing that just to try and get killionaires on their ranked record was unbelieveable.
