Resonantly I made a Firefight 3.0 mod and thought it would be a good idea with all the support I got to make this so here I go.
In halo reach “probably” one of the most enjoyed gametypes added was invasion. And I highly doubt 343 would take it away with how popular it was. SO why not make the future?
unlike firefight this doesn’t need tweaking or fixing just updating
Custom
One thing that bugged me was the choices in the custom game type. Heres just whats needed.
The ability to choose who the defender is. We can choose the attacker already but choosing the defender would be very nice for something like civil war.
Attack/defender separate general settings. In firefight elites and Spartans had separate general settings So why not have the attackers and defenders have separate general settings? This way we can make a beta version of invasion. You know when the elites were stronger.
Choosing more then just elites and spartans? Ok in the normal invasion settings where you choose who attacks (and with this defends) we sould be able to pick more then just elites and Spartans. I mean we will have a new enemy right? Most likely ones similar to spartans?
SO why not be able to make them a attacker or defender?
Keep load outs. and allow us to name them
Also It would be nice if we could add phases or take them away.
Objective types
For invasion there is 3 objective types. Their needs to be more. So I made 3 more.
I would add generator defense but I think that would work much better as it own game type.
Target:One player from the defender team is randomly chosen from the top leveled players in the game. This player is given 2 extra non recharge able over shields. The goal for the attackers is to kill him before time runs out.
Exterminate:The defender team is given a set amount of lives. The attackers must remove all their lives to move on or end the game.
Defuse:A backwards version of assault where the attackers half to go defuse a rather large bomb (slightly bigger then the normal assault bomb) before time runs out and it blows up destroying the thing you came to get.
Playlist Gametypes
This is just what you would get in the invasion playlist
Invasion:Invasion with the new objectives added in. Instead of 3 their are 5.
normally it goes like territory’s, Defuse, Core, Target, Exterminate
Invasion classic:How invasion was in reach
Invasion BFT (Before Time): Invasion like it was in reach beta
Invasion slayer: like reach
MAPS
Halo reach had 3 maps. which one because its dlc and no one has dlc WE NEVER GET TO PLAY. I say its ok if we only have 1 or 2 maps for invasion as long as we get 3 forge ones with it and if a dlc map is released for it we sould be able to play it.
Thats all I have now but I promise once my ideas come back It will be finished.
You guys could have at least said why you didn’t like it?
love these ideas and invasion its the only gametype that i like load outs
Invasion should be the only gametype with Loadouts. That doesn’t necessarily mean AAs, though. And they should make just one or two Invasion maps, but find a way to make it fit into other maps.
> love these ideas and invasion its the only gametype that i like load outs
thank you
I worked hard on them and glad some one liked them
> Invasion should be the only gametype with Loadouts. That doesn’t necessarily mean AAs, though. And they should make just one or two Invasion maps, but find a way to make it fit into other maps.
if firefights in it then it sould also have load outs
and agreed
I highly doubt Halo 4 will have Invasion.
> I highly doubt Halo 4 will have Invasion.
WHy not

The new alo 4 info looks great
looks like spartans get a lot more love then elites just like reach
Love these Idead and i hope H4 will have Invasion but different.
But i still hope there will be a classic Flair like in Reach Beta
> Love these Idead and i hope H4 will have Invasion but different.

Thats why its gonna be in there
I hope it looks great if it does come out
The new information from the viddocs look inviting.
Would you like to have destructible environments play some key roles in invasion? I would. It could be breaking done a door or system, bridge whatever you can think of that would intertwine with the objective.
Also, more map interaction with invasion games :).
I love Invasion but i think instead of 2 there needs to be like 5 maps. theres only 2 true invasion maps in reach you can play (DLC never comes up) on Reach right now. Yet invasion has decent numbers at all times of the day. it just proves how strong a agametype it is and i really hope 343 expands on it. I can deffinetly tell 343 is going to have some interesting and fresh game types in multiplayer though.

ya
I cant wait

Agreed
i think ur helmets on to tight soldier i hated invasion and if it was so good how come more then half the players online were in team slayer like normal? if they bring invasion back good for them i guess it pleases like 15% of the players. for me ill stay in my team slayer, team doubles, team objective, and lonewolves or whatever it will be called.
I don’t think Invasion is as popular as you think it is OP. Not only that but it also forces maps to me dedicated to a single playlist. With BTB maps you can at least use them for things like objective, SWAT, Snipers, action sack gametypes and all sorts of other things. Invasion maps really only work for Invasion. I think Spartan Ops is going to be the closest thing you get to both Invasion and Firefight. It has been announced that Halo 4 will be launching with 10 maps. It would be Reach all over again… Invasion would come with 2 maps. Everyone playing would complain that it needs bulked up… And all the other playlists would suffer because that’s 2 less maps for everything else. It honestly just doesn’t make sense to bring Invasion back.

He uses proper spelling and grammar, and HE is the one with the tight helmet?
Seems legit…
Not to mention Invasion has a bigger population that what you quoted.
And no one really cares what you do…
Anyways, I’m glad to see someone else who hasn’t given up on Invasion.
Nice ideas, could totally revamp Invasion to be even better than it was!!!
