Remember the epic invasion gamemode from Halo Reach? Remember that big tower map where the elites guarded the tower from the spartans? I wish this would come back to Halo 5- It would be epic and we would love it!!
Something similar to it could be implemented as a Warzone variant
A sub variant or type of Warzone seems like a good bet, yes.
Im pretty sure that it’s been confirmed as a varient of warzone, only without playable elites

Too bad we won’t have Warzone in Customs to make use of that.
I say this as someone who played Invasion 95% of my MP time on Reach…
Warzone looks good enough to scratch that itch.

I agree. I played a lot of Invasion, firefight, and BTB. Warzone is the next best thing and a perfect combination of all these game modes.
I would love this! Invasion was one of my favorite gametypes. Sucks it never picked up steam.

If it’s just a variant though, then it won’t be it’s own playlist for matchmaking- just as a chance of getting voted for under the warzone playlist.
I don’t think that it’s going to be implemented into the game due to Warzone becoming that third special gamemode.

Ditto. Invasion was my favorite game type and Warzone looks like a great successor.
IDK, I’d rather see something more akin to the community created Conversion game mode from Halo 4 (vs. a return of Invasion) and have that implemented into the Big Team playlist along with Assault and One Flag (plus slayer games too); essentially, requiring most of the Big Team maps to be designed with asymmetrical (1-sided & round-based) gameplay in mind as its’ key unique draw or lure over the Warzone and Arena playlists.
Yeah, Invasion was great. It made playable elites more than just a skin. Bring back elite slayer with it.
I loved Invasion. If this could come back (with a significant number of maps) as DLC, I’d be pleased. Warzone looks like it will fill the same void, but giving us a Spartans vs. Elites mode in the 3-phase Invasion structure would be awesome as well. It would need to include the Elites though, and they’d have to be of the Reach big-and-stompy variety, which is why I don’t expect it to happen.
Without it, I’m pleased with Warzone.
There is already a second gametype for Warzone that is very similar to Invasion, and it’s strictly PvP. One team is the attacking them and has to push through the defenders’ bases all the way back to their home base and destroy their core. It’s almost exactly like Invasion, except it obviously doesn’t have playable Elites.

Isn’t this just rumored or has it been confirmed?

It’s confirmed. No name for it yet, all we know is that it’s a variant of Warzone that has no AI enemies and as already stated, it’s pretty much Invasion.

“Pretty much Invasion” …though, without the buddy spawn system, right?

I guess so.
I would love to see invasion return.
