First, imagine a nice real life game of grifball. Now, that's impossible since humans can respawn, but if we could, it'd be perfect. Now, imagine grifball in the Halo 3 engine, where lag and unexpected shenanigans will inevitably occur. Now, imagine grifball without radars. Then, grifball with shields, grifball where everybody is fast, grifball where the ball carrier is slower than everyone else, and where the 'hoop' is higher up, friendly fire is off, spawns are screwed up as hell, and that is Basketbomb.
In case my opinion of this game is too subtle, I've decided to redefine the word, "hell," so you all can more clearly see.
hell
–noun
1. the act of playing basketbomb.
2. being forced to play basketbomb.
3. playing basketbomb with your head splitting open, with you yelling, "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING PLAYING THIS!?"
4. basketbomb.
Is that a little more clear? I hope so.
But, to be fair, I will continue with the update.
Remnant: Aumaan Anubis, RaZor73
Tritive: TLEJ, and some other dude
Game 1
Tone of Game(Yes, this update is Bungie-style) : Hilarious, but not funny. Not funny at all.
And so my headache began.
I got into the game thinking it'd be rather easy. It'd just be grifball with a higher hoop. But, I had some revelations in store. It was a nightmareish experience. I'd give a thourough update on it, but really, it's pretty much all a blur, and I'd like it to stay that way.
But I do remember one thing. I was pissed.

Yeah, 2 on 1 apparently didn't work in this case. Tritive just jumped the hell over us.
My preciouuuuuuus.
Hey, hey, hey! Where'd he go?
Ending Score: 0 - 16. Tritive wins.
Game 2
Tone of Game: Comeback!(well, sorta)
We didn't do absolutely horrible this round, to be completely honest. Maybe they were going easy on us
Anyway, after some not-so-cool non-friendly-fire shenanigans, Tritive made their first score. It was depressing, but it didn't completely break us.
I came back with a score of my own, and I was damn proud. After my 'scoring,' Razor valiently attempted to make a score of his own, but was stopped in his tracks by the Fist of Rukt smashing his skull open.
I came back with another score, as did Tritive. It was intense.
Razor fought furiously, and earnt himself a score.
As did Tritive.
Needless to say, we had three goals on a game that I'd never played before, so I was satisfied.
As well, I'd like to mention, Tritive was pissing me off(the team, not the player). They were performing unnecessary shenanigans, including throwing the ball to each other, spinning around with the ball(I admit, I did that once), and other shenanigans. Very showy and unprofessional, guys.

Where the hell is the friendly fire!?
OMGWTFBBQ I SCORED! WOOOH.
Unnecessary shenanigans. Throwing the ball to each other? Scoring would've been just as efficient
Chalk another one up for Remnant Mods. I'm that good
Embarressing moment for Tritive in which I beat down one of their members with the bomb. It made me happy.
RAZOR SCORES!
Ending Score: 3 - 7. Tritive wins.
In conclusion, I will most likely never willingly play basketbomb again. The spawns, sheilds, lack of friendly fire, shenaningans, etc. are extremely annoying.
And let me catch you up on the spawns.
You can actually spawn on the enemy's side of the map. One's initial thought is, "hey! I can easily kill them now!" or something of the sort. Unfortunately, the position is not so good if the enemy is halfway down the court running up to your goal. Spawns get really annoying, and are just crazy. They need some definite fixing.
Now, if you all will excuse me, I need to go lie down on a couch with an ice pack on my head.
