Invasion in 4

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, which it probably has been.

Will there be Invasion in 4?

No playable Elites, no Invasion.

Ah, okay. Thank you for the quick reply!

> No playable Elites, no Invasion.

If the options and objects in Forge allow us to tweak it we can still create an Invasion playlist. It just won’t have Elites.

> No playable Elites, no Invasion.

Just because we no longer are able to play as Elites doesn’t mean they should just shaft Invasion. Custom Invasion gametypes are one of the best things added to Halo customs. Hopefully it makes a return in customs and forge at least.

BTW welcome to waypoint OP.

They have literally stripped the -Yoink- out of Halo…I hope whatever they have planned is good else people are gonna be extremely pissed!

Thank you. Been playing Halo since 1. I followed 3 and Reach pretty close but not 4 too much. Haven’t quite kept up to date. Thinking about pre ordering the LE, but this whole issue with the War Games Pass is kinda putting me off. I don’t want to get shafted out of content.

I’m sure they have better things in mind.

I don’t believe the Invasion settings are in Halo 4 to make something of the sort.

See above.

They removed the Yoink? Did the just remove Assassinations?

yeah things are looking a little bleak about that issue. I do believe everything will be available for purchase in the end anyway. -Yoink!- likes to milk what they can.

LOL, No, here on the forums they replace bad words with the word Yoink!. they did not remove assassinations, they added more actually. here’s a video of the new Objective assassinations.

Could easily be. Set up barriers and new items in other areas linked to an option stating,

  1. (Barriers) IF HILL 1 or HILL2 IS CAPTURED GOTO 2
  2. (Barriers) DELETE

Oh jeez, sorry about that, haha. I forget what they replaced bad words with on Bungie Forums now… But anyway, you can really tell I am out of the loop, haha. But it is good to hear that they added even more!

More BADASS ones.

Maybe, maybe not. However I doubt they are there if Invasion itself is not.

That short segment was awesome, Ninja. I really liked the oddball one, especially how the person disappears into that pixie dust when they die. Just flying into the air.

Infection didn’t exist in Halo 2, yet people still played it under the honour system.

…I miss when Gamers had honour.

Yeah that’s a little controversial and breaks canon IMO. Only Forerunner weapons should do that since they were designed to kill flood.

That is completely different. In Zombies, you kill someone, they had to switch. How do you impose an honor system of sorts in an Objective game? How do you plan to include section based loadouts and weapons drops with an honor system?

Good now we will finally have real BTB maps, instead of ones cantered to invasion that are terrible in BTB.
