This may sound silly and this is definitely a fever dream, but I think it would be so cool if we could invade enemy players in the campaign. We would take on the role of Jenga or our own custom spartan killer Elite or Brute. The session would end when we either kill one or all four Master Chiefs (or however coop might work in DLC or future installment) or they kill us.
We could have camo as an ability (a la Halo 2) and health could Scale based off of how many players we are trying to kill. There should be a very loose time limit so that we could stalk and then kill when the time is perfect. We should simply get a notification when a player is invading our world (obviously this idea is also inspired by Elden Ring) but we shouldn’t get to know where they are.
I don’t know how other people would feel about this so maybe it should be just optional for legendary or be a skull, but I can promise that if this was a thing I would probably play the campaign 50% of the time I play Halo just in hopes that I would get invaded, or maybe I would just spend all my time invading players who have the option turned on.
I know that there is quite a lot that needs to be added to the game before a crazy idea like this would even be considered, heck playable Elites aren’t even a thing in the game at this point. I just think it would be cool. I feel like you wouldn’t even have to change the story if it was implemented into the base campaign of infinite.
you know there have scrap the campaign expensions and only wane focus on the broken multiplayer.
and since there been hit by the microsoft layoffs round also hard things are more worse then before.
I like the campaign as a PvE experience with out some idiot dropping in to kill me because they want to grief players. Campaign should be an enjoyable piece of escapism to relax on your own (or co-op) and play at your own pace.
If you want to have a PvEvP experience then go play Sea of Thieves, spend hours trying to achieve something only for another player to turn up and destroy all your hard work because they’re bored.
That might be an enjoyable experience for some but not for others.
I’d rather they turn the focus away from pvp for now and focus on adding pve content. Not that they will do that, but whatever.
Definitely an unlikely pipe dream, but I love the sound of this anyway. I’m with the OP, my interest in the campaing would be totally rejuvanated if they took a leap like this. As others have pointed out however, the hope for any kind of campaign add-on is already faint, much less one of this imagination and scope.
I’ve thought about a similar idea a lot OP. There are a bunch of cool ways that PVP could be wrapped into campaign.
I thought H5 Warzone was a stepping stone to campaign PvP back in the day, so I’m still sad it’s sitting on the cutting room floor for Infinite.
Um yeah…? That’s literally why I labelled this as an optional feature Mr. Smarty Pants.
