Maximum Clutch Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Before the guy gets the oddball assassination, you can see his team mate actually throw him the oddball. This could be very useful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on782pCkAu8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 He jumps from an elevated position and drops it, just as you can do in Reach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 He jumps from an elevated position and drops it, just as you can do in Reach. Lol so true. I see no difference really, except that the oddball is now blue. Probably gonna get confused with a Sticky and the Oddball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 He jumps from an elevated position and drops it, just as you can do in Reach. It went a whole lot further than it does in Reach, and that guy didn't get a prompt to pick it up either. Idk. Maybe you can pass it, maybe you can't.

CandiBunni Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 It went a whole lot further than it does in Reach, and that guy didn't get a prompt to pick it up either. Idk. Maybe you can pass it, maybe you can't. You can pass it. I'm not sure, but I think they've already said you can. If they haven't, you can still play close attention to the person holding it at the beginning. Watch and you should see an animation of them tossing the Oddball to their teammate. I do think that being able to throw it is a pretty nice addition. Being able to quickly toss it around to your teammates to keep it out of enemy hands and how teams adapt to one another to both use and counter this is going to be interesting for sure. Now it may encourage players to strategise and work together more so than in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderWombat Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 He jumps from an elevated position and drops it, just as you can do in Reach. If he dropped it he would have immediately switched to his gun, and the ball would drop to about the end of the staircase. He has a throwing animation and the oddball comes at you like a line drive, no way he is dropping it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorB77 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I am pretty sure you can pass it. It seems like they were kind of showing that off in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedforsaken Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Intresting indeed will require more teamwork but i also hope they include oddball classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Grifball needs two playlists now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Grifball needs two playlists now. i'm sure griffball will stay the same. I think 343i is just trying to make more differences between CTF modes, assualt modes, and oddball modes. They are all too similar when a person is carrying the objective, so differences will help define each gametype more. Like the magnum while flag carrying in CTF we havent seen any gameplay with bombs yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum Clutch Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I will try to find the article, but 343 said grifball will most likely not be returning and if it does, it will not have its own playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTz Vplus2 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yep, passing the oddball is possible now. As are assassinations with it. And assassinations with the flag in CTF. And you can wield a magnum while carrying the flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderWombat Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 When i use my iphone it gives me the option to view the classic, blue page. But that lags like crazy for most phones. There are too many things going on here and there on this forum for it to be that practical on the mobile interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jestermeister Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Definitely a game-changer, hopefully separate throwing and non-throwing playlists will be in-game, i'm sure if there weren't many people would rage about 'Oddball's broken' and such. Nice addition though, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum Clutch Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 People will rage about anything they can. Nobody will ever be happy. Even if there is two separate playlists people will find something to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I love the idea of passing the oddball. I can't wait to carry the flag AND being able to have a Magnum out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ins4nek1ll4 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 If you watch .. You can see him holding te oddball in his hand and uppercut the other spartan .. So he does not have to drop it .. The throwing oddball is a good idea .. The only thing i am worried about is what is the distance that you have to be away from a teamate to throw the ball .. If its to far away .. Noone will want to play .. And if it is too close there is no point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
