I got this idea from Halo's "Grifball"

Gameplay: The game is set in a big square arena, the ball is set in the middle and the two teams are on each side. When the game starts, all players have their gear and no armor upgrades, UVs, or trinkets. When a player from either team gets the ball he is given a striker booster and his armor changes to proto, (though that wont make much of a difference in t1) and he has no weapons. The idea is that he dies in one hit, or from three hits from a gun. When a player dies he is restarted on his side of the map. When you score a goal your team gets 10 points, when your team gets a kill it goes up 1 point. The victory score is dependent upon how many players are in the game:

4 players: 100 points

6 players: 150 points

8 players: 200 points

Please comment on what you think!

Not a bad idea. My only

Not a bad idea.

My only question is what special ability would players have if they don't have striker boost? You said a player gains striker boost abilities when the capture the ball. So that leaves the question of if the other players have no krogmo gear, or if the are limited to the other classes. Recon would then be kind of op if a person wanted to sneak to the ball and grab it, then use his/her newly gained striker abilities to dash out.

+1. Hopefully this might actually inspire some teamwork. One question: Y ou can't attack while holding the ball, right?

One suggestion: the ball should be throwable, with the same mechanics as a Gremlin Mortafire's shield.

If this is implemented, I will play in the true style of grifball and use a CTR Max Sudaraska.

@Terra-Necro

They would have no abilities, Striker is the only one in the game mode.

@Klipik

No UVs remember? ;)

Also yes, the ball shall be throwable. And no, you cannot attack while holding the ball.

Great idea.

I like the sound of this idea, and also agree with @kliptik that the ball should be able to be thrown.

The striker booster would need a much shorter duration and "Grif's" base movement speed would need to be lower than that of the other players.

mist bombs + guns would own this gamemode. Swords don't stand a chance without UVs to resist them or classes to avoid them.
I dare you to grab the ball while I shiver spam. Your puny skolver will be turned into proto anyways.

Kind of yay, less flourishes! but also bad.

Perhaps "Grif" shouldn't be turned into a proto? Maybe he could have reduced health but status resistance.
