''Halo 4'' features the first noticeable gameplay changes since Oddball's inception in ''Combat Evolved''. Players can now throw the Oddball using the grenade throw button (default left trigger). Catching or intercepting a thrown skull awards medals. The skulls are also more noticeably affected by physics, bouncing off the surfaces and getting knocked around by explosions and Gravity Hammer strikes.
