I dont know about anyone else but when i think of reach one of the first things that comes to mind is invasion. While infection was amazing in reach it was also in halo 3 and h2 (honor system).
So many fans want playable elites so i mean why wouldnt they have added invasion with infection. I mean invasion would have be amazing. I seriously wonder if 343i didnt want to add it because it would take away from warzone and the micro-transactions.
What do you guys think? Is invasion more reach-ish because it was the first of its kind in that game or do you think infection is even though it was in previous halo titles?

I loved invasion but its way too late for elites. Hoping H6 has them. Also, warzone assault is pretty similar to it, and I agree about the microtransactions
Idk what game you played but warzone assault is only vaguely similar because of the offense, defense and taking over a location. Invasion actually had way way more too it. I mean you had different stages, blow up the generators, take over the hills and the escort the objective to the plate.
Now WZA also doesnt have unique roles with different character types. You can say its similar but its really very different and more interesting.

I agree that invasion is more interesting, but I dont think 343 would add another gametype thats somewhat similar. Especially that the one they have is centered around microtransactions

One sided gameplay, branching objectives. The KOTH section was replaced by Take over the base. Assault was only on one invasion map. And instead of CTF you play blow up the pillar at the end. It’s essentially an invasion variant.
And you’d be hard pressed to find many people who spent more time in the invasion playlist than I did during the reach era.

Warzone Assault is a poor excuse for Invasion. It lacks the diversity in map structure as well as objectives. Invasion was 10x better than Warzone Assault.
When I think of halo 5 invasion, I picture a team of 12 Spartans dropping in with one being randomly selected to carry a nuke with an os.
Defending team being elites or gasp----- promeathian soldiers defending certain locations as the Spartans attempt to push through to the core.
If Spartans win by successfully planting nuke, you get a nice cutscene looking at the pelicans flying away while the map or covie ship explodes to the high heavens.
If defending team wins you get a nice cutscene of watching the Spartans flee and get shot down by a covenant blast, or promeathian Lazer pretty much insinuating that they are killed before making the quick escape.
Anything could be thrown into this type of invasion gametype whether it’s eliminating so many defenders to get to the next section or bombing a sealed door to proceed to the next section. Hell even adding a hacking section could be cool I’m just making this up on the spot.
warzone assualt is kind of a poor mans invasion, which is why i dont think it will return in halo 5. i’m hoping it will be in halo 6 it can even be a warzone variant, but i would like to see it have 3 waves each with a different objective and for the bomb/territory objectives have 2 points where can capture/bomb so its more spread out and not just 12-24 people fighting for spire. will still only be half as great if it doesnt have spartans vs elites though, at least for me.

Not the same and you had an actual objective to do. Warzone is just so bad.

I agree Invasion was Reachs thing. It brought the whole Spartans v. Elites deal to MP in an interesting way. And I would love to have it back in Halo 5. Without Elites. People seem to think; “you can’t have Invasion without Elites.” But you can, it doesn’t change much whether it’s Spartans vs Elites, Spartan vs Spartan, Spartan vs Prometheans, grunts, trees, whatever.
Invasion beats over WZ Assault due to its versatility in Objectives and map layout. The custom maps brought new ideas to the table. Now imagine what the community could do with that gametype with our current Forge?! Amazing stuff… Hell… I’ve been working on a Boneyard remake ever since the DLC plan was announced. I was so excited that Invasion might return although it was unlikely. Ever since I heard we’re getting Infection. I dropped the project to make Infection maps…
But as much as I would love Invasion, it would require too much work for the devs of both Customs and Forge to make a decent working gametype with flexible objectives…
One thing I don’t understand about some people on these forums is the lack of want for certain things. Like just because you love H5 to a tee and someone “suggests” things like, oh. How cool would it be if we had loadouts for customs? Invasion? Flood modeled characters for infection? The plasma rifle? The hornet? This or that from before? Ect. And there’s people who go; “No, I’d rather not. Let Halo 5 be its own thing. Those things should be let go into the past.” Like now, just because we have something similar to Invasion in the form of WZA, doesn’t mean it has the same overall feel. If we added Invasion than a lot of community members such as Forgers, and Customs Creators could make something crazy. I’ve been waiting for Invasion so I could make a payday gametype or something. I mean, why are people arguing against more content anyway?
It’s not wrong to Campaign for something you think will improve the game overall. Whether in regards to fun, competitiveness, creativity or whatever. We should be holding Halo and 343 to a standard. I’ve been through many other communities where the devs work closely with the fans to make something special. And yes, this included Bungle of old. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter, it’s up to 343 to add what they want. And it’s up to fans to share or suggest their ideas that may make it in a future update or installment.

Warzone Assault with playable elites would be magical.
