I’d love for a return of the halo reach invasion game mode or a halo infinite equivalent. It was a really fun mode and by making it Spartans vs elites, it brought the story of reach to multiplayer. You felt like you were participating in the fight for reach. I’d love a mode like that to return.
They’d have to implement elite and maybe brute customization to pull it off. Probably introduce this new mode and customization in a new season. It wouldn’t have to mimic invasion completely. Maybe have several different objectives for the mode, or different stages. Could secure the landing zone, assault the fort and kill an AI commander. Similar to for honours breach game mode. Defenders will obviously try to hold you back.
I’d also love to see a firefight mode return as well. Wave based is fun but maybe something that is multi staged. Secure point, rescue marines, assault fort, etc. Also just a survive mode like the last mission in reach would be fun. Can either have it be survive as long as you can or survive until extraction.
I really love game modes that bring the story to multiplayer and hope they’ll do something along these lines down the road. The setting of Zeta halo, the UNSC’s initial defeat and this struggle for the ring really offer potential for these game modes that i hope 343 will capitalize on.
