Invasion (my favorite game type)

Can someone tell me if Invasion is confirmed for H4?

Thanks everyone.

No, there will be no playing as elites in halo 4. (thank god)

Okay does anyone have an answer? I did not ask about Elites.

I just answered you, NO.

probably not since elites are not playble(sad)

I unfortunately remember hearing that Invasion was confirmed to not be in the game. It’s a shame, I was a big fan of the gametype.

> I just answered you, NO.

What is wrong with elites? Both playing Invasion and playing as an elite is optional

First I want to say thank you for you responses.

Second. Just because we don’t have Elites does not mean theres not Invasion. At least I don’t think so. Have they stated (343) that there is no Invasion? (343) Apparently 343 thinks it worth something because just created new maps for it a month or so ago.

It was a fun gametype when people actually played. I will miss it. I hope a similar gametype will take it’s place but I’m not holding my breath.

No news of Invasion without elites yet. Either that or I’m late to the party

We already know Elites are not in, which means no Invasion as we know it in Halo 4. Have you considered releasing a game type (both at launch and after launch) which relied on some of the aspects which made Invasion great? –Gabotron ES

Elites are in Campaign. Elites are not playable MP types. We will, however, add some interesting variety to MP which will scratch that itch.

Taken from the 6/13/2012 Halo Bulletin. That is the only answer we have gotten so far concerning invasion.

He means invasion without elites

To relieve you of your disappointment, I heard that they would be implementing a gamemode to replace it.

Another funny thought. Just because there are no Elites does not mean they won’t have some other enemy in place of Elites? As stated no official word yet. Hey I’m a BIG Invasion fan so I’m keeping it optimistic.

Hey playing as elites was better than playing as spartans in Reach.

OT: Probably not as the way we expect it, but it could still return! Just because we can’t play as elites, doesn’t mean invasion as a game will go away

Pretty sure Spartan Ops is not only taking the place of Firefight, but Invasion as well. It’s been stated that Spartan Ops won’t just be wave after wave of enemies, there will also be some objectives to capture or even defend. So I’m assuming Spartan Ops will be somewhat like Firefight meets Invasion, except you don’t switch sides.

I was a big invasion fan, I hope they keep it even as spartan vs spartan invasion at least.

I don’t understand why Invasion has to be Spartans vs. Elites. We’re running a battle simulation here, right?

What better training could a soldier receive than being forced to use familiar weaponry to formulate a multi-tiered assault, followed by an extremely quick role reversal where they must use enemy ordnance to deter whatever attack is coming their way?
That has numerous real life applications on the battlefield.

For the above reasons, Spartan vs Spartan Invasion is canonically sound. As such, I fully expect it to be in H4.
