Invasion as DLC?

Since being debunked, that the gametype Invasion won’t be feature in the default (shipped) version of Halo 5: Guardians, who would be open to potentially a dlc-exclusive… somewhat like Ricochet? Please note though, that this is not an apparent representation, or synonymous, with the inclusion or addition of playable Sangheili… but rather the progressive stage built objective match.

Where is the source? I love invasion it’s my most favorite game type:(

If it’s free, sure. Please don’t lock gamemodes with paid DLC. However, if they made it paid DLC only for early access (like Richochet), I’ll be fine.

Source

apparently no one dislikes invasion…

I like invasion but I wouldn’t hold my breath that it will come to Halo 5.

I would be happy if they just gave us a single map to play Invasion on. Even if they had to do it last minute and it wasn’t exactly the most polished.

Even the option of perhaps forging an existing gametype through community-orientated mods, or something like using breakout, dominion where there are multiple ways to win?

hell no, not as a DLC #Iwannabeelite

I loved invasion. I need to go play some Reach now.

:frowning: I wish I could…

I’m a big fan of Invasion, so I would totally get the DLC if it was ever made available.

I would pay $30 for invasion DLC

invasion is pretty cool but pay for something that should be free from the begin it’s just bad

I don’t know, Invasion and its variants were based on mostly Elite v Spartan combat. The combat was asymmetrical due to weapon differences and trait difference in the opposing factions ( The Spartans usually has the advantage due to superior weapons despite a small increase in shields for elites). This would run counter to the Arena Beta and the return to roots approach that 343 is going for. So it is not likely that Elites or invasion would be returning.

Exactly on point… however being a arena-shooter, does not mean intellectual and fun objective matches, be discarded and not implemented. I would like a DLC Gamepack with Invasion, VIP and Assault… it could include some extra goodies in the form of weapon or armor skins… and possibly new maps to go with the game types… also possibly adding some extra forgeable items?

Guys, just because we haven’t seen anything other than 4v4 yet doesn’t mean there’s nothing else there. You might as well say that vehicles are no more. Invasion is gone, and I can accept that, but there’ll probably be something similar to replace it, or Josh wouldn’t have so confidently addressed it.

No need for the misrepresentation of my point. I didn’t say that these gametypes were excluded for sure (except for Invasion obviously). I pretty sure Halo 5 has the vehicles with it’s BTB probably blowing a lot of expectations and something new and cool with come. Considering the contreversies surrounding the lack of equal starts (and lackluster content or bad launches) in the past couple Halo games, I feel that 343 is trying to avoid another die off in trust in game/ real life by sticking to the older philosophy of The Halo trilogy.
