Originally, ''Halo 3'' Grifball was played on [[Forge]]d custom maps based on Foundry and [[Sandbox]] Crypt area.

Grifball appeared many times in ''Halo 3'' unranked [[Double EXP Weekend]] hoppers, since March 6 [which year?]. There was no set rotation for Grifball, although it has appeared many times.

In the unlikely event that a player finds themselves thrown outside of the arena (beyond the wall), [[teleporter]]s situated beyond the playing field have been provided. These teleporters will drop you outside the map, killing you instantly. You will respawn back at your goal. Play is not suspended when a player goes out of bounds. It is the player's duty to return to play. If a ball carrier goes out of bounds, they must return to play within 30 seconds (judged by time on Save Film) or they forfeit the entire match. If they leave the ball beyond the wall, it will reset within 15 seconds. Play is not suspended while the ball or ball carrier is out of bounds. (''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 4'' employ kill boundaries to limit the player movement and allow ball respawning.'')

The original Grifball courts were Foundry variants. During the development of [[Mythic Map Pack]], one of the ideas behind [[Sandbox]]'s Crypt area was to use it as a Grifball court, resulting in the Grifball map variant Grifbox and subsequent player-created Grifball maps. The tradition to put special areas in Forge canvas maps continued in ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 4''.
