"Invasion" in Halo 4?

Games Other Halo

Or will there at least be something comparable?
I’m probably one of the few people who do, but I flippin’ love Invasion.

While the maps are adequate at best, I imagine Halo 4 will probably have some amazing maps (Bungie sort of screwed the pooch making Reach, in my opinion - 343 is just trying their best to clean up)

I just really love my multi-tiered, pseudo class-based, objective-centered multiracial gametypes.
Know what I’m sayin’?

Oh, and something else that would be cool is having Spartans vs. Elites, Elites vs. Prometheans, and Prometheans vs. Spartans.
Things could definitely get crazy.

there’s Dominion, it;s the closest thing to halo wars-esque invasion without elites

Apparently there will be ‘something to scratch that itch’ but Frankie has yet to tell us what that will be.

I think he was referring to Dominion.

Really? Damn, I was hoping for a proper invasion re-make. That sucks

good riddance to invasion.

awful gametype.

seriously reach was just terrible. so boring, the most quiet, uneventful, not addicting, game.

Halo ce, 2 and 3 are way better.

reach felt like it was made in half a year

Thank you guys for keeping up so well!

Now I can focus on creating a revolutionary version of Castle Wars for Halo 4…
The only thing better than Invasion is having wave after wave of people wielding energy swords constantly sprint at each other in a desperate attempt to pick up a flag.

I disagree. It was one of the most fun and innovative gametypes created in any Halo game, and it’s a shame to see it go. If you learned the little strategies that went into a game of invasion, I think you’d appreciate it more.

I think what turned me off was a combination of-

elites

the non-existent creativity of maps

lack of fluidity in play movement

As with everything else that Halo has ever done, people will either hate it or love it. It all depends on opinions and thankfully Halo is packed full of random stuff besides jump-n-shoot action, whether it’s a zombie game, jumping on an ATV and racing, or playing golf in the middle of the air.
Invasion is pretty much catered to people who like lite strategy and tactics, I think :x

As long as Halo keeps taking the good from its predecessors and competitors I think everything will be alright. Just keep the good, get rid of the bad.

Invasion was my favourite gametype in Reach. But without Elites, I guess it doesn’t make much sense for it to be around in 4.

But I do like the Tower Defense angle of Dominion, and the “one life left” thing at the end of each match. So I’ll give it a shot.

13

If dominion has robust custom options you might be able to recreate invasion in customs.

14

I’ve always viewed Invasion as Halo’s answer to the popular “Rush” mode from Battlefield.Sad that Halo 4 will not have it…

15

I’m pretty sure Dominion has replaced it. I don’t think that should be a problem, as long as Dominion proves to be a worthy alternative.

Kinda does… But Dominion looks like my new favourite gametype. :stuck_out_tongue:

CTF? Nah, more like Territories. It’s basically Territories, except each base can be fortified. It adds a little bit of RTS features to Territories basically, which will prove to be very interesting. I can’t wait to try it out.

i hope dominion will be easy to get in matchmaking. i have a feeling i will be playing a lot of dominion but if it is just thrown into the team objective playlist then i worry i may have to play other objective games when my intent was to play dominion.

It could be possible for it to have its own playlist like Invasion did. We’ll just have to wait and see.

i honesty don’t see why they don’t just organize playlists by gametype and not game genre.
Capture the flag playlist
dominion playlist
oddball
bomb
slayer etc.

it would probably look crowded but at least everyone could choose what they want.

sorry i am sort of getting off topic now.
