Originally, ''Halo 3'' matchmaking had only one map available in Double EXP Weekends, such as "AGLA FL09" or "AGLA Foundry". As there were no game variants available, vetoing was disabled on Grifball playlist. As more maps were introduced, vetoing was enabled. Some of the new player-created variants were Mayan Grifball, Grifballupthere, and Aerial Grifball. | Originally, ''Halo 3'' matchmaking had only one map available in Double EXP Weekends, such as "AGLA FL09" or "AGLA Foundry".

''[[Halo 4]]'' Grifball matchmaking playlist was launched January 28, 2013. As ''Halo 4'' doesn't feature Assault, the ball has been replaced with the [[Oddball]] skull, is affected by physics (such as Gravity Hammer blows), and doesn't explode at the end of the round. After a later playlist update, the goals now also emit energy bursts reminiscent of the traditional explosions when a goal is scored. | ''[[Halo 4]]'' Grifball matchmaking playlist was launched January 28, 2013.
