Invasion is a must for Halo 4.

The thread is my opinion, I’m not dictating for the masses like several fools think they can.

In Halo 3, Spartans and Elites were thrown into the mix together, they fought against and alongside each other. Since this happened, a lot of people (myself included) wanted a playlist catering to the battle between the Sanghelli and the Spartan.

In Halo Reach, Invasion was a massive success. It gave the fans what they wanted. And because the Elite fans felt neglected, they really enjoyed this playlist. Plus, it really put you into the battle. In normal multiplayer you’re thinking ‘i’m playing a game’ but in Invasion, you feel like you’re in a wonderful mix or canonical campaign and non-canon multiplayer. Total online bliss.

Halo 4 should have Invasion because it is extremely fun. We may not be fighting Elites, but maybe Forerunners? Anyway, these species-wars are always FAR more interesting and compelling, because you can see how both Species operate. For example, Elites are larger and have regenerating health. Spartans are smaller and have to find a health pack to heal. Also, Spartans have different weapons, armour abilities and different map-based advantages and disadvantages to Elites. So you can see how each species operates and how they interact with different weapons, enemies and maps and scenarios.

So, to finish, halo 4 is a must because it makes everyone happy! You an Elite fan? Play Invasion! Wanted a Spartan vs Elite Playlist since Halo 3? Go play Invasion!

EDIT:

NPC’s could be incorporated into Invasion with ease. With the Reach engine, you could have around twenty or more NPC’s on the battlefield and four players, and Spartans. If this was flipped around, so to speak, then you could have, say 6v6 teams, each team with five NPC’s to help. The reach engine already has coding for Spartans, so that wouldn’t be too hard, and just beef up the Elites a little and there you go. This would make the map and game far more hectic. Now I’m not going overboard and trying to cram like thirty NPC’s and 8v8 teams. Just five more at the very most, to give you that real battlefield play. Reach promised large-scale warfare, and we got about eight more enemies on screen at a time compared to Halo 3. This Invasion 2.0 would be the most EPIC game anybody will ever play! 6v6 players, backup of 5 NPC’s per team. Objectives, Slayer, all mixed together? I can’t think of anything better then that.

Or perhaps it doesn’t need to be Elites and Spartan NPC’s. What if the player was followed by either a squad of ODST’s or Jackals, as weaker backup? Just a little idea to add to this whole thing.

SIGN (THANK) IF YOU AGREE AND WANT INVASION IN HALO 4!

This is soo true, what would also be a good idea is if it was the Spartans and Elites Vs Forerunner. not sure if that might be abit too confusing

Agree, the only thing I would change is the fixed spawn points, many good Invasion games ruined by spawn camping.

I’ve been for this from teh start.

As I stated in another thread I’ve asked, many, MANY times on information on this gametype’s return.

I’m yet to receive an answer, all I know is Invasion is an amazing gametype with tons of untapped potential. It’s a shame that seems to have received the shaft.

It needs to make a return, and in a big way. You know, with more than two maps? Let’s face it, Skirmish and Inv. Slayer are jokes. I hate them, and they seem to seldom get picked when I play in the first place.

You can change your spawn yourself… even spawn on a team mate. If you got spawn trapped…well youre pretty silly.

It’s not my favorite gametype, but to take it out would be a step backwards.

Actually, no.

Ever play Invasion on Spire and the Spartans get a hold of the Banshee? The Entire Elite Spawn area can be camped with ease, thus making it a -Yoink!- joke. Whenever I play with an Inheritor, that’s typically what happens, stat-padding. Well, unless I see ahead and destroy the Banshee before they get to it…

Yeah I would like for Invasion to return, it has a lot of potential to be something truly epic.

Loved Invasion in Reach. Although because it’s species vs species, I think we should be allowed to have our own colours instead of red vs blue.

for once i agree with someone on here about this, lol.
IF they can do it sure, but im sure that 343 will change a few things so it fits with halo 4 game style. but the only flaws i see is who are we fighting, i got my idea on who but it will effect the game play if its them. and now will we be able to do this as Spartans 4.

thats just my view on it. but i am for it if they can get it to work with halo 4.

10

Yeah, spawns should be fixed. :stuck_out_tongue: But it’s good to see that so many people want Invasion! Whoo!

I love invasion. But they need to make invasion specific maps for it. They can so much with it. I love slayer but I really love invasion that spartan vs elite setting is just fun. Also let us use our costumed colored spartan and elite ( or whats ever other enemie is going to be in the game).

This.

I loved Invasion in Reach, but I won’t be too upset if it doesn’t return in Halo 4.

Invasion has so much potential. For instance having AI backup that unlocks with the different stages of Invasion. You could start with just your team, at stage 2 get Marine backup, at stage 3 get ODST backup whilst the Elites eventually get Grunt and Jackal (and perhaps even Hunter) backup. Heck you could even have vehicles in there too.

Invasion is meant to feel like a genuine UNSC/Covenant operation, I think adding extra elements like AI backup would help immerse the players in the experience.

15

completely agree, and they should make changes cause some maps are so bigs its lazy to walk, and the mayority the people wants war like an invasion, s they should reduce the size of invasion maps, like many people on halo reach forge made awesome invasion maps cause they reduce the size, and fixed spawns, was good, but it was onlyon custum games so it couldn’t be played so much if you dont have many friends.

16

I love Invasion. They just need to improve it and make it feel more like a battlefield that is constantly at war, which was sadly not so present in Halo: Reach.

17

I like the sound of NPC’s! I’ll update this!

18

yes it’s a most

but it must be to more important goal like the Halo ring

19

343 should REALLY craft Invasion out to be something amazing, something that no other gametype or mode offers.

Reach Invasion was decent, but the sandbox hurt Elites too much and the maps were lame. Boneyard was bad past the first tier.

I’m hoping for Invasion to be fair to both sides and offer something new

I hope they do that and with improved servers.
