IGN has released 3 videos of these three games.

Halo 4 Updates Grifball and Oddball

Oddball is amazing now. You get to throw the ball. I can definitely foresee some type of Football variant gametype coming from this, or better yet, RUBGY! The assassinations in Oddball are sick! Huge uppercuts.

Griffball also features ball passing. As well you can hammer pass the ball by smacking the hammer down on/near the ball. The only thing that seemed a little off was that there is a lot of rocking back and forth of the camera to simulate your running. I think that should be tailored down a bit. But until I actually play the game, I can’t say for sure how much this will actually affect my game play.

CTF has a nice change of pace with the flag carrier being able to also use a weapon while running the flag. Yes, that can currently be done in some types of Flag games in Reach, but it’s not the default mode. Also, you run nearly as fast as you would normally while holding the flag. The coolest thing I saw was being able to assassinate while holding the flag for a “Flagsassination.”

So after checking out these three vids, what do you think of the gameplay?

I’m excited for it. I keep saying, November 6 just can’t come soon enough.
