Griffball- worst team oriented game I've ever played. I've played it in halo3 during the beginning, but betrayals got really bad during halo reach. Every game I played out of 50 games straight I recorded that me and my sister have carried our griefball team at least 47/50 of those games. Our strategy is to wipe enemy team in mid, grab the ball and haul butt running the bomb straight to their side while my sister hammers away at them. The strategy works well, but I must say, when someone else on our team happens to get the bomb, they hold it forever and when they F up and drop the bomb it's almost always dropped right by our base(because we all know carrying the bomb by our own base is the typical griefball player mentality right?). Hell, when I think things wouldent get any worse, 2 teammates quit on our team and we still destroy the enemy team 3-0, to my sister who is newer to reach but not halo3, this was a great feat for her. unfortunately, we would come across games where our team+ the enemy team would try to spawn kill us and we would still win(most of the time). I just can't stand how we are constantly carrying our team 97% of the time in this playlist, it is really frustrating. I mean, I'm not even that great at reach even though I've played almost all halo games since release but come on. Hell, my sister who is 12 knows how to move the bomb just as well as most of the players we compete against. It's just really sad that this game has come down to really low skilled players who just betray their teammates knowing there are no consequences ie. removing the betrayer.
Well I know you are probably inking, "well that's just griffball". Unfortunately, it's the same way with Big Team Battle.
Big Team Battle- Where your teammates are your worst enemy, even worse when you acquire a power weapon. This playlist is horrible when you think you picked up a sniper rifle, Laser, or Rocket Launcher. I've had teammates destroy my shield to where I'm close to death to try to intimidate me to handing over the weapon. Furthmore, it even leads to them betraying me multiple times just for "insert weapon name". Funny thing is, I can't even boot em 50% of the time. And thats not even half of my problem, I get into games where idiots will imtentionally destroy their own vehicles just so the enemy can't get it... But come one really, destroy your own wraith?? Or even ghost? These vehicles are big game changers.
All I'm trying to say is that this games skill requirements are so low to a point that I think I'm just going to quit all halo games as a whole. Last of all, this crap wouldent happen in a skill based game such as gears of war 3, I'm fairly good at that game but I know when I go to play a match I won't be the one dragging my team down or relying on incompetents to kill me for my power weapon or feed the enemy kills let alone betray me. I'm just sick of the nonsense that goes on, but I have realized that halo and call of duty do not require as much skill as some of the other games I've played. And to tell you the truth, at least I know that in these other games I'll get a team just about every game that had a few people who are better than I am in different category's, besides having dummie halo idiots who wouldent know how to read a strategy guide even if it costed them their life. Now I do know there are many skilled and great halo players out there because a lot of people I met before in halo3/reach/halo4 who are very talented, but the games I've played recently were just piled with awful "team" players who k we nothing about teamwork. Nortmally I very patient when it comes to these kind of things, but I've realized how much BS a lot of these idiots do in gametypes that really mess up not only myself, but other peoples gaming experience. If you want to play a really good team based game, I suggest try out gears of war 1-3, it's a very well designed team effort-game, but it goes to show the team that doesent work together loses almost EVERY time.
