Which what they’ve shown of the new BTB I’d love to see them bring back invasion with the same “make it feel like a battlefield” mentality.
One of the best parts of invasion was that it made you feel like you were in a real faction vs faction battle and some of the changes in BTB I feel would only add to that. It could also fix the issue of people vehicle camping on the offensive teams side.
I doubt it will be there at launch but with the game growing as time goes on I hope invasion makes its way in. I’d also love to see them add playable brutes into the mix.
I was just speaking to a friend about playable brutes. I imagine however, if we get any playable species whatsoever, it will more than likely be the elites first and foremost. That being said (with halo infinite being the next halo for a whole decade) I can see invasion hopefully coming back if this does happen. Was definitely a favorite of mine and countless others in reach (even if there was a bit of balancing issues). Forge needs to have a hell of a lot of spotlight for custom games and cohesive map design to really pop. Also leading to some interesting invasion BTB
I feel like with the goal they have in mind for Halo Infinite, this is a very real possibility.

I was going with playable elites would be included in the mode already since they are in the reach version, which a chance of brutes getting added.
I do agree invasion had its balancing issues, but I don’t think it’s anything that can’t be resolved. Though it’s my favorite game mode so I’m biased.
If they bring it back in a balanced fashion, I’m all for it.

I think invasion is great so I’d love it to return. But 343i have confirmed no playable elites at least for launch. Citing infinite is a spartan story so I doubt brutes are playable either at launch
I do hope they bring back invasion.

Yep was a fun mode, albeit not always balanced very well in Reach.

True.

The only issue now being that playable Elites wont be a thing in Infinite which to me was the crux of Invasion.
Also most Invasion maps are kind of just bad, usually because of spawns and layout.
Not to mention Reach’s atrocious weapon balance that made the DMR/Needle Rifle dominance so overt. I like Invasion on concept especially with the round phasing but I never liked many of the maps and I hated the weapon balance. Halo Reach might as well be renamed Halo: DMR.

Definitely not at launch, but I imagine playable elites coming the same time as invasion if they happen. With potentially playable brutes coming somewhere further down the line if that’s something they are even considering.

What was unbalanced about it? I didnt play reach mp much so I’m not terribly educated on the subject
There was mention by Klobrill about BTB 2.0 and then he went back and said more like Invasion 2.0. Now idk if they’re one in the same and what we saw at E3 was that, or there’s another mode they have yet to showcase. Invasion was one of my favorite modes and I would gladly welcome it back, but I’m not holding my breath.

Ya id assume the same. With the f2p model its perfectly logical to avoid elites at launch for multiple reasons.
But being a 10 year live service they won’t leave that money on the table. Invasion will come later with playable elites I am sure.
I’d like brutes to have a unique armour system where they have a “grav mail” that picks up enemy armour shards (basically doom armour but with lore) to act as a stand in for shields and some kind of speed and melee buff when the armour hits 0. Its an opportunity to have a whole new flavour without disrupting the core of the game.
No elites = no invasion :’(

They did say elites could be possible down the line. We just know they won’t be there at launch.
They really do need to add it along with another playable species. They need to drop the whole “it’s a Spartan story” and leave that for the campaign
