Let me start by saying I’m sorry if this has already been posted somewhere; I looked and I couldn’t find anything about it.
Now, Obviously this is about asking for 343 to add an Invasion gametype to halo 4. Yes I get that there are no elites in MP, but that doesn’t really matter does it? I see no problem with a spartan vs spartan invasion gametype.
Another thing people may or may not point out is that reach invasion had tiered loadouts as you progress, which obviously isn’t going to happen in halo 4. Still, each progression can have new ordnance(rockets, snipers, tanks etc.).
As for maps, there are plenty of bigguns with space for something like this.
I know it’s different for everyone, but for me invasion was the only reason to play reach. Adding it to halo 4 would pretty much make the game for me, and I know I’m not the only one.
I would love to see an Invasion game type put into Halo 4. I see way to many people that turn Dominion into nothing more than BTB and don’t bother to go after bases. It sucks when 3 mins into a match you are on Last Stand because I was the only person going after a base.
dominion is its own beast, and its not really invasion because invasion had ELITES, they need to bring back elites for the sake of playlists like this, it was SO much fun having the two different sides with their own respective loadouts, it was always fun with all the different weapons they had
I miss the Elites and Invasion, but I think a larger part of me misses Assault more than Invasion…why not combine the two! With a Spartans vs Elites Assault game type!
I posted this in another thread, asking for invasion to be put into Halo 4 but whatever.
Invasion would be fine in Halo 4. They could have 2 options on how to do this
make it so it’s an exercise simulation for fire-teams to progress in their Spartan IV Training. For example, Fire-team Crimson Vs. Fire-team Majestic. Basically Invasion without Elites, which isn’t too bad.
2.Have the war game simulation include Elites in it for that playlist and again, have it as training exercise for Spartans.
This should be no problem as War games is nothing but Exercise simulations, and they have a flood game type in there, we didn’t even fight the flood in this Halo.
Honestly I agree with this, Invasion was really one of the few reasons I stayed with reach, and I think that it’s totally possible to make invasion in halo 4. Dominion is fun, but holds a weak hand to invasion. I think this would be a great idea, and I personally thank you for brining this up.
I loved Invasion. I always thought it was one of the few things Reach really had going for it. And it could totally work, even if its just Spartans vs. Spartans. Dominion is nice, but as others have said it always devolves into a BTB match that happens to have objectives. It is no replacement, that’s for sure.
Those are two forums I have posted on Invasion.
The first is asking if people want Invasion back.
The second is telling people that I have remade Invasion.
I agree that Invasion can be played with all Spartans, so long as the concept is in place. I have also had fun with it. There are issues with bringing it back, with one obvious solution:
Invasion is very dependent on specific map designs that simply aren’t in Halo 4. In fact, the best Invasion maps in Reach were horrible for anything else. Adding it would require new maps and I just don’t think one gametype is worth that kind of effort.
Solution:
Return it as a gametype for custom games and Forge new maps (including accepting community creations) to add it to matchmaking.
I agree with the bring back of the Invasion gametype, it’s basically all I play on Halo Reach. And there are some maps where invasion might be legit; Complex, Exile, LongBow, a custom of Impact & Meltdown.
And Spartan v.s Spartan is fine, if not a Spartan verses Flood mabe (with out the Zombie speed, high jumps, and one hit kills of course). It would be nice to have Invasion back.
