"Invasion" Ideas for Halo 5

Community General Discussion
1

I was thinking about what they could add to Halo 5 and I had a couple ideas for the return of Invasion (or its replacement).

For one thing, there should be more variable objectives besides the same “hold this hill, hold that hill, capture the core” procedure. More objective options:

  • Gathering data: The defender will be defending a console. The objective is to extract a data packet from it and deliver it to a capture point. Permutations: Multiple consoles, longer download time, “delivering” something to the console (a virus/AI to down a shield).

  • Disable generator: The defender is guarding a generator. The objective is the destroy the generator. Depending on the generator, this is accomplished by simply shooting it, throwing a grenade down a shaft, or interacting with a console to start a countdown (which optionally, the enemy can defuse, so you must defend it).

  • Classic options: Capture the hill and capture the core, as before. Permutations include multiple cores.

Also possible, an equipment/device system exclusive to the “Invasion” gametype (or maybe a couple other special gametypes, but that’s another matter). This includes:

  • Placing mines
  • Laser trip-wires
  • Placing turrets

And so on

Ideas, thoughts, etc.?

i was never really a fan of invasion in reach, but your ideas sound awesome!

I would love to see invasion make a comeback! Especially if it had new and awesome content :wink:

Also, my thread here is currently acting as a community Halo 5 suggestion thread and most halo 5 threads made are being relocated there.

I don’t really have any ideas to add, but I do like the sound of yours. Yes please.

Yes, but sometimes it is kind of difficult to see multiple topics and viewpoints in one consolidated thread so…
…I like your ideas. I also hope we could play as Knights or Brutes in addition to Elites.

I’ve been hoping that, with the hints that there are still many living Forerunners somewhere, this could be a possibility.
