In light of the latest community update where big team battle and warzone assault or being considered
to be moved to temporary playlist, I really hope big team and it’s modes come out swinging in infinite. Big team/invasion is my favorite playlist, so I’m hoping with some more resources behind it and dev made maps it can have a healthy population again and thrive in infinite.
My favorite thing in halo 5 is warzone assault and unless it’s the weekend, matches are almost non-existent. I’ve always been a BTB fan too, but the lack of dev made maps killed my interest in halo 5. Invasion was okay, but id give it another go if it was included in 6.
I really hope Infinite BTB is better than H5. It’s my favourite mode and I can’t even play it in H5 anymore. No dev made maps, the maps that exist aren’t great or are ruined by vehicle imbalance, and the BR was ruined, it’s not surprising to me no one plays it anymore… besides the fact the game itself has really low pop.
BTB was really bad in halo 5 and 343 knows this. I believe they said a while back that the next halo title will have dev made maps which is good news because that was one of its biggest issues. Forge maps are good but should be so heavily relied on. As for invasion it really should return along with playable elites, it was such great game mode and it’s a shame it’s only been in 1 game

While I did thoroughly enjoy BTB in halo 5 it had its faults the biggest of which in my opinion was a lack of dev made maps as you said. I also don’t mind forge maps but it shouldn’t be all forge maps.
I really hope they did say that because it’d love to see BTB and invasion get the same resources put into it as the other modes again.
agreed man, invasion is still my favorite game mode in any halo, warzone assault while very similar still doesn’t compare to classic invasion for me for both big and subtle differences.
If Invasion returns in Halo Infinite I’d be sold already. But I would like a new take on it. Like having Marines, Grunts, Jackals, ODST, Brute, Elites. Hell even a Banished versus another Covenant faction would be cool. I’d like it to be a little more than Spartan vs Elite. Also a bit more objectives instead of taking the power core. How about a Base Destruction, Ship Infiltration, Assault Invasion, or Assassination being the end goal? Even stealing a secret weapon? How cool would it be if you had to do the phases and Phase 3 was to steal a Hannibal Mantis or Scorpion and drive it to a Phantom or something?

I feel you dude, invasion has that effect on me too lol. Yeah I’m definitely up for increasing the amount of playable species and love your idea. I think I’d still like there to be a more classic gametype with maybe 4 playable species(spartans, elites, brutes, promethean soldiers) but still faction vs faction, especially if the banished make an appearance I love their designs. Totally agree on adding more objectives plus one thing that was small but made a big difference between invasion and warzone assault was having multiple objective points for most objectives.

Invasion was one of the best things about Reach to me. It felt like multiplayer mixed in with clear objectives. Even if we don’t get the factions, just give us multiple objectives. Invasion Breakpoint was so popular because of the variety. Banshee vs Missile Warthog, 2nd Phase was Assault you had bomb open the door. Then the final part was traditional power core. Don’t get me wrong Warzone had the right idea but it just became chaotic when more content was added.

Agreed breakpoint definitely set the bar for invasion, I’d love for them to take that concept and run with it.
If Invasion came back, what would the two teams be? Would it be UNSC vs. Banished? UNSC vs. another Covenant faction? Banished vs. Covenant faction? or a twist on using the Flood?

Remember that Banshee was extremely powerful in Reach in the right hands if a team didn’t team shoot it, it would wipe out everything. Breakpoint was the first time you saw skilled teams using the Warthog to actually counter the Banshee all while driving straight to the Phantom. It was one of the most well thought out objectives to me. It also made me appreciate the Missile Warthog a bit more a vehicle I thought was a gimmick actually became useful for shutting down people and in good hands the Wraith.
Yeah the wraith and banshee were monsters, I admitted felt the banshee spin needed a cool down though. I didnt really use the missle warthog much since I mostly played solo.
As for your comment joker id say the more factions the better. You have the UNSC, the covenant, banished, and created. There’s a lot you can do with that.
