Grifball Matchmaking

Home Grifball Matchmaking

Even since the spring of 2008, Grifball has been a staple of the Halo matchmaking experience. Find out how to play Grifball in matchmaking in each of the games below.

Every Grifball map and gametype in matchmaking was created by the Grifball community. For more Grifball maps, or to submit your own, please visit our map forums.

Halo 5 (Xbox One)
Halo 3 (Xbox 360)

Grifball is not currently available in Halo 3 matchmaking. Although Grifball made its matchmaking debut in the Spring of 2008 in a Halo 3 Double XP playlist, the matchmaking hoppers have not been updated since 2011.

Halo: Reach (Xbox 360)

Halo 4 (Xbox 360)

Grifball has had a permanent playlist in Halo 4 since shortly after the game launched.

The newbie-friendly Grifball gametype consists of one long round where the Grifball respawns after every score. Players automatically catch the ball when it is thrown to them.

Grifball Pro

Grifball Pro mimics Grifball league settings by ending the round after every score. Players do not automatically catch the ball when it is thrown to them.

Grifball Dash

Players are each equipped with a thruster pack for easy maneuverability.
