So I’ve kept up to date on the Halo comics and this certain page has been floating around a few Halo forums. When I read this, my heart was a little at ease because my faith in playing Invasion, being a Blargosaur, and cleansing the human filth has been restored. So it’s not a done deal that invasion will be a playable game type in Halo 5. But this page gives BTB/Invasion addicts like me a sliver of hope.
The problem with this is, its only a comic book page and could mean a lot of things, or nothing at all. So here’s some ‘specuhlashun’
The 'specuhlashun’
In the event that Invasion were to come back, It may come back to replace Firefight. 343 want’s War Games to be canonical, so taking Firefight from previous installments, placing it into Halo 5, calling it a war games simulation, and branding it Invasion would be knocking two birds with one stone. Remember in Halo REACH, Blargosaurs were playable in Firefight. So the end result would be a BTB Spartans vs Elites + AI with actual objective based playing. Now, this is me totally nerdgasming about a uber cool game type that would still technically fit in the canon if you look past playable Elites.
The ‘rashunal’ Thinking
They could’ve taken that monster of an approach to a fresh Invasion/Firefight mix up, or simply bring back both in a new and revamped form. Which would be the most likely. But in order to have these awesome game types. We would also need Playable and (if you feel nice enough 343) customizable Elites, I mean Blargosaurs
