In my opinion halo 5 should have invasion they have warzone which is nice its kinda like invasion but its not invasion is a gamemode of just spartens and covenant but could have forerunners invasion always had its own feel just like warzone but invasion is invasion
That was a little confusing to be honest lol.
but I know what you mean. I wanted Invasion in H5 for the longest time but I don’t think it’ll happen considering it’s 2 years olds
so now I just gotta hope halo 6 has it

I’m never even a stickler for punctuation, but ya this was a little brutal.
I like to think Warzone Assault is Invasion. Think about it. It has 3 phases, 2 of which requires you to take control of a certain area, while the final stage, you have to destroy the core instead of stealing it.

Yeah but one team doesnt look like idiotic dinosaurs so its not the same.

It would mostly be a aesthetic change. I’m not against Elites, I would love to play as them again, but adding them for the sake of one gamemode just doesn’t work.
Do you really think they’re gonna make a big brand new game mode in this stage of H5’s life? They said we might not even get content updates anymore. You’d have better luck hoping it’s in H6 at this point.
Would be nice, but it wouldn’t work without Elites.
And 343, up until this point, has showed little interest in ever adding playable Elites (Muh warzone consistency and “canon” multiplayer) again. They seem to have gone out of their way in Halo MCC to make it seem like playable Elites are not a “thing”

In Cannon, the Elites train alongside Spartans, so it’s still possible, but problem would be the gameplay, because Spartans would have Spartan Abilities and Elites would have… what? Nothing?

My preferred solution would be just to remove Spartan Abilities, but I don’t think 343 has any intention of doing that either.
I say just give them to Elites too. Why not?

Yes, but Warzone is a pretty big map and the mode could get boring of simply running to the objective.
The Elites have the stuff of honor so I don’t think they’ll like to have the same thing the Spartans do. But I think it could be interesting to see Elites using them… In low voice interesting

Yeah the two modes are extremely similar
going to crib from myself;
Warzone assault has a lot in common with Invasion (And I played quite a bit of invasion) There are two teams one set up to defend, one to attack. There are extremely predictable spawns. The defending team has a decent advantage from the start. There are branching objectives and success in one leads to opening the next one. There are a few things missing like the elites vs Spartans element. The KOTH sections to unlock the first two objectives (Not counting breakpoint) are a bit harder to accomplish as not only do you have to be in the ‘hill’ but you have to remove the enemy from it. And instead of CTF you play destroy the pillar for the third objective.

Warzone assault is very similar, but there are a few things that I feel traditional invasion does better, such as having two objective points for each phase(except the final ctf phase) so everyones not trying to crowd one spot on the map. It kinda takes the fun out of warzone assault for me when its basically everyone just rushing to one tiny spot on these huge maps. It also has the weapon/vehicle pick ups that make the maps play more like tradtional arena halo. Ideally i’d like for both to be in the next halo, since both parties win and you could use the same maps for all the warzone modes and invasion but have invasion stay in the arena section.
Also speaking of breakpoint i was a big fan of how each phase was a different objective and hope they do that with invasion and warzone assault going forward.
I believe there was a version in the works at one point by Wyvernzu. Im not sure if it was ever completed but if it was there might be some forge maps you can play it on in a custom game lobby.
I would prefer Dominion to be honest. My personal favorite Halo gamemode of all time.
Much more versatile and unpredictable than Invasion, and a lot more fun.
Invasion would be a very welcome addition for me, as long as they didn’t make it super easy to steal vehicles from spawns like how spartans could very easily take the banshee from the elite spawns on Reach. Plus loadouts would probably need to return and a whole new balancing system would have to appear if faction weapons were to be used if invasion was to be completely replicated.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind req cards being a thing but only for variants, everything else should unlocked for warzone if it returns.
Armour should be a mix of unlocking and in-game credits like reach. I’m thinking that levelling up gives you a specific armour like soldier whereas completing certain challenges/commedations grants access to specialised armour that you buy with in-game credits. For example, 500 precision (not snipers) weapon kills unlocks all current variants of recon and you buy the one you want. Melee kills unlocks CQC, CQB ect you get the idea. Special Armour like Chiefs variations are unlocked through achievements. Same with elites if they ever become playable again, but first once you select elite as preferred species you can choose between the Storm, Reach or H2/3 style minor armour (all of which you can acquire when you rank up through credits), Elites in lore rank up by kill count and through showing skill so, 100 kills goes from Minor to Major, 250 to get to ultra ect, then similarly with spartans using certain weapons unlocks certain armour, so using a carbine or needle rifle (please let this return) can unlock the Ranger armour.
So it’s basically Warzone, except it’s Spartans vs Elites with Promethan bosses still present

I agree. Dominion was fantastic. I really really miss dominion.
