Halo Reach blew my mind in the beta when I played invasion. It changed what I thought halo matchmaking could accomplish by putting me in a epic scenario against/ with the covenant. I would love 343 for the rest of my day (I will anyway but still) if they bring it back and improve it. Maybe give us some AI in the fight Marines, Jackals, ODSTs, grunts and some brutes. What would you like to see? Sound off in comments below.
I dont wanna see AI in Invasion AT ALL. What I DO want to see are all the issues of Invasion from Reach addressed, revised, and improved.
No for bots.
Unless, the Elites/Spartans come into dropships, then an AI gunner on the ship wouldn’t be bad to fend off spawn killers for a few seconds.

AI in invasion could be a seperate playlist. I want to see invasion return in halo 4.
Bit iffy on the AI in Invasion idea but I definitely want to see Invasion in Halo 4, with a metric f’ton of support. (Community Maps, playlist updates, etcetera) I felt like Reach’s Invasion was rather neglected in some sense. I got the feeling it could have been absolutely amazing but playing the same 2 (3 if you’re a lucky cookie) maps was just…tedious.
I’d like to see Invasion in Green and Purple like the beta, instead of Red and Blue.
Your idea is more of a firefight gametype, which is fine but Bots should only be used in custom games and firefight, not matchmaking.
I didn’t know that people would reject that idea as fast as they did. lol What’s your ideas for improving upon this amazing game type
This is the only playlist to return that I would support loadouts but by 343i not adding any custom invasion maps to the playlist I don’t think it would get the attention it needs and would fail.
I think it would be pretty awesome if we were dropped off from a phantom/pelican.
How could invasion be in halo 4? The covenant war is over and the main focus is forerunners. So I am not sure if elites will be in the game or if there will be a new playable race. I can see firefight as you could be fighting against forerunners and flood.

There is potential here. But there is also risk. Adding A.I.'s to an objective invasion of going to points is a nice trait, but you’d be able to see them and kill them easily. Remember firefight Versus? It was a struggle just to kill the two over shield Spartans while our shields were ridiculously weak in a normal setting. Rapidly killing the playlist. Now if you said you would like to see A.I.'s in matchmaking, here’s my thoughts:
-
If an A.I. is allowed, the amount of players will need to be reduced for covenant players. Particularly due to the fact that they already had regen health and stronger shields, but now we are facing the carbine jackal and focus rifle potential on top of the normal player elites.
-
They would need to be able to follow commands. I don’t want my marine A.I.'s running into a well-known “ambush area” against elites or vice versa.
-
If a player drops, for any reason, A.I.'s would need to be reinforced so to speak. The reason being is I have had a handful of matches featuring me being creamed by players because at the end? I was the only one left or it was me and one other. Sad story being spawn killed by my stickies…

Judging from reading Primordium, all of the Halo Reclaimer trilogy will likely focus on our rightful place in the universe. That doesnt exactly mean just forerunners.

Ah sorry about that I don’t have the new books I have all the old ones. I am just going off of what I know based on web and games. I need to get those books

Primordium is a pretty good book. Glasslands also gives us clues what we’ll be dealing with. The covenant aren’t extinct by any means, they just aren’t as aligned as they were. But they still act as a coalition even working together with human insurrectionists. Put emphasis on insurrectionists.

Ok though from what I read online I know that there will be a part in the new trilogy that focuses on the post covenant human war. The question is does it start in halo 4 or 5? As for the books can’t wait to get them.
I can’t really think of any ideas to improve it as it’s already pretty good. One of the only things I’d change is the Loadouts. You shouldn’t be able to spawn with an Energy Sword or Shotgun.

Why not? Your pretty much Spartans on suicide mission or a “zealot” elite trying to take some thing very important (just like in the reach campaign) I think that since they both get that option it’s pretty fair and beside most of the invasion maps make it useless to have them because they’re so wide open.
I love the idea of the opposing team getting dropped off in pelicans/phantoms, but what would be even better if the attacking team got dropped in like ODST’s because elites do it in Halo 2 (which why did they stop i thought it was sweat)
I would like to see Invasion come back but only just PvP. AI’s would ruin the experience I think.
