If you've ever wanted to throw your skull before, you'll enjoy the changes planned for several multiplayer modes in Halo 4

343 Industries announced today that players will be able to pass and catch the ball/skull/bomb in both Grifball and Oddball during its Halo panel at PAX. This news comes a day after the announcement of Capture the Flag (CTF), and a new War Games map, Exile . Assassinations are also possible which apparently vaporzize your enemies.Here's the two modes in action.

Both modes are hand-me-downs from earlier Halo titles, Oddball featuring classic "earn points each second you control the ball" gameplay, while Grifball arms players with Gravity Hammers and Swords in a bid to score points by carrying the ball to the other team's goal.In case you missed it yesterday, here's what we thought of the new CTF mode.We'll have more news regarding Halo 4 War Games, along with new singleplayer updates in the coming weeks. In the meantime, tell us what Halo 4 multiplayer mode you're most excited for in the comments below.[*Editor's note - When the story first ran, IGN reported the ball carrier would be able to brandish a weapon, similar to the change with CTF. That is not the case. The story has been amended, IGN regrets the error. And yes, we just said ball carrier.]
