343 has said that elites wont be playable in halo 4, so that is a big problem for invasion. But so far I have not heard anything about another type of playable character. Correct me if I’m wrong but I haven’t heard them say there wont be some other kind of playable character in halo 4.
It would be hard to find a match for the Spartans, and considering that infinity multiplayer is basically one big training exercise it probably wouldn’t fit, but I’m still hopeful.
Does anyone know about a possibly playable character that hasnt been released yet? Or does anyone know something that might fit in the elites spot that has been released?
There are supposed to be like 7 new enemies but we have only seen 3 so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the other new enemies turned out to be a player controlled one. Perhaps we will be seeing actual Forerunner after all?
Thats honestly what I was thinking. I really like the original invasion format because I liked the feeling of actually being a spartan on the front lines while playing multiplayer. I guess I liked the perspective of it.

It’s more likely that it was improved upon and changed, so not technically still Invasion. Now I’m more convinced that Invasion is the thing Frankie was referring to in the Bulletin with his “cult following” quote.

That is also true. Now I’m on the fence again.
Either way, like Kiki said, it’s part of Halo now, so they can’t not include it.
Considering that Elites are no longer playable in MP, I think the next best thing would be to make it Spartan vs. Spartan… perhaps a BTB specific gametype using Invasion mechanics such as three phase rounds, fire team/background spawn points, spawn on teammates etc. I think it could still work. Also, I don’t think they should use “Invasion” as the name for this gametype, it just doesn’t make sense in Halo 4 MP and is more fitting for Spartans vs. Elites in Reach.
If they do include invasion, they should change some of the objectives. On every map, it was always two area captures followed by capturing the core. They never once included assault or changed the amount of areas to defend.
