Invasion was one of the most popular game modes in Halo: Reach and my own personal favorite playlist. I for one would love to see it return in the next Halo with some innovations. I would want to keep the Spartans vs Elites (vs Prometheans maybe?) theme so it will retain the feeling of different factions at war. That includes having specific loadouts that are effective yet balanced. This ties into another thing Invasion should have: secured vehicles. I hate it when the Spartans steal the banshee and the elite players don’t have anything to take it down with. These are the things I think should be fixed.
Now on to what I think they should add. I was thinking maybe give each team a mobile base like an elephant for the Spartans and a Scarab or something similar to the Elites. They could act as spawn points for players and vehicles as well as places where you steal and drop off the cores. Also maybe make it like Breakpoint where you capture a building, plant a bomb, then steal the core.
Those are my ideas. Do you like them or have other ideas? Do you support the return of Invasion?
While I enjoyed invasion but I felt the custom maps made were just not on par or interesting or well made. I mean we had Forge World and honest I would have enjoyed if an Invasion map took up the whole map instead of just a selective area. Invasion as soooo much potential and I feel that it can be improved by giving us every exact thing Invasion gave us from Reach but improve off that.
I feel 343 can add in extraction to the list of gamemodes like how invasion had assault, territories, the core, and ctf. Overall I want 343 to do their best but I have faith in them to create something amazing.
invasion was my favorite gametype and strongly hope it returns with improvements. i really like your secured vehicles for both idea and keeping it spartans vs elites. i also wouldnt mind putting a few power weapons on map in the first stage to mix things up a little and taking away the static spawns. it was way too easy to spawn camp in invasion especially on boneyard.
I like and support your idea except I would rather have a different vehicle than a Scarab(too OP!!!)
But also, what about AIs in it?
It could add a whole new depth of gameplay and add a more war-like feel or an actual sense of an Invasion.
I liked Invasion but I felt that it wasn’t fully realised and it was let down by Reach multiplayer.
I would like to see it come back but it does need to be heavily updated. Bigger maps and more involved objectives: beyond press this button and carry this crate. Maybe implement some different gametypes within it; such as making the best player on each team a high value target a la Regicide.
Also the colours of the teams should be changed from red and blue. In the Reach beta the Spartans were shades of green and the Elites purples. It makes it seem like Invasion is actually happening in the Halo world rather than just in a simulation.
