Invasion: UNSC Gear vs. Alien Gear?

Invasion is my favorite game type in Reach, and its really the only thing I play now. Even though Elites will not be featured in Reach, it would be great to have Invasion return with Red vs. Blue teams.

One team could have UNSC loadouts while the other team could use Alien equipment. From a canon perspective it would make sense since you would want to train the Spartans to use and fight against Alien weapons.

It would be great because 343 could balance all the loadouts within Invasion itself. For example for first tier they could have one team with Promethean Vision and the other with Holograms.

This is my suggestion for Halo 4 to keep the objective style gameplay of Invasion alive. Any comments or suggestions?

Works for me.

Well, I would like Invasion or something very like it in Halo 4. It was my favourite gametype EVER in any game. I’ve heard a lot of positive feedback from it and it holds a high population in Reach. We definitely need something like it.

it would be awesome … I loved invaion and there was no word of its conclusion nor dropping it so it could be possible

Invasion has been confirmed to be “a part of Halo now” and Elites have been replaced by something else that will “scratch that itch”, so…

and besides, imagine Spartans against Spartans in Invasion? that would just look silly.

In the time that I had Xbox Live Gold (which was before they released new forge world variants to play Invasion on) there was only one thing I didn’t like about Invasion: the monotony of Invasion on Boneyard, Spire, then Spire, then Boneyard, then Boneyard, then Spire, the Boneyard, then maybe so Invasion slayer on Hemorrhage, then back to Spire, then Boneyard, and so on.

I would just hope they would equip all the maps they make with the ability to have Invasion played on.

Invasion isn’t Invasion without aliens. Thats the whole point of “Invasion”.

Invasion or something like Invasion better be in Halo 4. As you can see on this account and my new account (SWOLLBA FETT) from my service records, i play Invasion more than any other game type. I dont think H4 will feature “Invasion” but definitely a “capture and retrieve/defend” game, I’m sure they will call it something else. (I hope they still call it Invasion)

Not really. I mean, wouldn’t it make sense for the Spartans to train in Invasion tactics?

Think about it, they get training in offense and defense at the same time from one program. It would make sense as training, it’s not like they’re gonna learn just by killing each other randomly. They’d need to train for those kind of situations, that’s how Invasion could fit in as part of The Infinity matchmaking.

So humans lack the ability to invade?

Invasion was introduced as an elite vs spartan gametype. As an elite you only had covenant weapons and vehicles to spawn with and vice versa. If we put humans on both sides, each side loses that unique feel. It is going to turn into another objective game where we just stand in this circle for five minutes and bring the flag back to this plate on the floor.

To be honest it’d be just as good if they made it so you could use your own weapons just like any other gametype. It doesn’t need to be UNSC vs Covenant themed.

Maybe we could create our own invasion loadouts.

if anything that has to be problem numero UNO with Invasion. I love invasion to death but a lot of people did get annoyed with the same maps. yeah BTB needed community maps but invasion needed it way more. And there were actually a lot of community maps that were bad A@# invasion maps. I remember this one where it was based of the one ODST mission where you’re on that huge bridge approaching an ONI building

As long as Invasion or some variant of it returns I’ll be so happy.

Yes I am rather disappointed in the lack of Elites, but I can deal with it. OP I like your idea :slight_smile:

Invasion in H4? -Yes please!

But enable the gametype on multiple maps and create a community invasion playlist early on. PLEASE!

We need Halo 4 has a fashion invasion but what would be cool is that team would have three. Such as the spartans with Elites against spam foreneurs its would be cool.

no just defender/attacker gear say defenders have hardlight shield and attackers have something like thruster pack but i think it should be the same weapons on both sides

It NEEDS to be in Halo 4. It would be a horrible idea on 343s part to change it.
