Halo: The Master Chief Collection has brought back the fan-favorite game type Grifball, as announced in a Tweet from the official Halo Twitter account.

Grifball is a ball-based game type where players are armed only with Energy Sword and a Gravity Hammer, both of which have infinite energy/ammo. Two teams face off in an attempt to score goals in the opposition's zone by carrying a ball over the threshold. The ball can be tossed around between players, which almost always leads to hilarious moments where you're about to catch a ball and get absolutely yeeted by a gravity hammer. Whenever I would get too obsessed with my K/D in Slayer, I'd spend some time goofing off in Grifball - it's a great palette cleanser.
As GamesRadar previously reported in December, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has plans to add more content throughout 2021. That includes more seasons on a regular two-month basis, as well as mod support and new Forge items. There's also a custom game browser in development and an in-game FPS cap in the works. Season 5 will add new cosmetic content, including new armor sets, which the Halo community always gets excited about.
