What suddenly hit me was BTB Invasion, wouldnt that be awesome? Like instant combat and taking the objectives, since 6vs6 is kinda boring, and not as much combat as in what i saw in the “Bungie Documentery” a big combat,
Well what do you guys think? I think it would be awesome
No.
I think Invasion is just amazing just the way it is.
> No.
I could see the Invasion Slayer GameTypes taking off in BTB…
But the objective matches would end in too many draws, no, BTB Invasion is not a good idea.
> No.
no? you like it having a little combat? you dont like it when its ACCTUALLY a challenge to try to get kills and get the objective down? jeez you people are fricking boring
No thank you, sir…
In order to properly incorporate 16 players in a single Invasion experience, 343i would have to first allow the inclusion of more fireteams,as 8 does not easily divide into three. Furthermore, with the addition of an extra fireteam, the mission of attacking two territories becomes troublesome for a host of reasons:
the likelyhood of 4 players spamming each obj, thereby eliminating the concept of fireteams all together.
The fact that more players are able to attack will result in the requirement for further distancing of the objectives to account for multiple attack directions, this will encourage all attackers to spam one side as the defenders will be less capable of responding to such a strategy. Spamming one obj is not proper Invasion gameplay, and should NEVER be encouraged!
With 8 players attacking, the map would have to be HUGE!!!
Bigger maps means:
Wider, to allow for more attackers pathing.
Longer, to avoid camping and allow for proper fireteam useage(though this is impossible anyway)
Additionally, larger maps means lower quality for community maps as more area will be required. I don’t know about you, but I personally don’t feel like paying for a whole DLC pack only to recieve ONE Invasion map. Noble MP was a one time deal. The community has some awesome forgers, but oir technology has it’s limits.
The list goes on, and the final conclusion is 8v8 invasion is TOO BIG. There is too much to consider.
Addition of more territories makes the game impossible for defenders.
If you are considering 9v9 invasion to maintain 3 fireteams, the problems with map size return to the table. As well asthe risk of encouraging one sided spamming.

I’d love some Invasion Slayer/Skirmish as a BTB, Elite on Elite action baby! (Or just make a Elite vs. Elite playlist and I’d be happy!)
First, I want The ABC System back, 2nd, I want SvE slayer, 3rd 8v8
