Invasion was the best game type added from halo reach. it was fun, kept defense and offense separate in only a way halo can, nd it one of the beloved game types to forge by most.
All Im wondering has it been confirmed if it will return or not?
Before you say something like “dominion is the same thing left invasion go”
Or “Invasion is not invasion with out elites so it wont show up because we cant play as elites”
1.no… Dominion is not invasion. All it is, is a beefed up Territories. Invasion was far more giving a side to defend and another to offend. the offending team didn’t just capture territories, they went threw multiple different objectives to finish their mission from capturing a core to blowing down the doors.
2.NO… Invasion is about a team pushing threw the defensive doors of a defending base to slay all in it and take what you want, its not all about aliens vs HUmans.

I also agree. I dont understand what made it more fun tho

I will miss Invasion as well. It didnt get any map love so it died out quickly. From what I have seen of Dominion it looks like 343 took the best parts of Invasion and improved them. The only test will be the maps. There needs to be enough of them and they need good size. We will find all that out in a few weeks.
I’ve always viewed this as Halo’s answer to the ever-improving popular 'Rush" mode by Battlefield.Such a shame that it won’t even leave Halo Reach as a gametype,and will be forced to not evolve over time through Halo 4 ,unlike ‘Rush’ has

It’s called dominion now and it’s basically conquest in battlefield with a twist
I loved invasion at first but it simply wasn’t properly supported/tweaked. Same playlist for reach’s entire lifespan.
However with loadout choices all around I feel like objective games will feel closer to invasion then anything else in reach
I’m with you, battle brother. Invasion is the greatest new gametype to ever be introduced to Halo. There is so much risk, reward, and teamwork involved. It actually incorporates Armor Abilities how Bungie intended–multiple phases that progress in strength and that offer specific weapons paired with specific abilities.
Dominion is NOT a replacement for Invasion. If some of you say that it is, you have NO idea how Invasion worked nor how Dominion DOES. Dominion is only territories with reinforcements. It may scratch the Invasion itch, but it will never satisfy it.
Surely they would be wise enough to allow us to recreate Invasion in Forge. It could be played with all Spartans, albeit strangely. That’s another thing that made Spartans vs Elites so special. It truly brought out the Covenant side of the sandbox, something that was initially intended with Halo 2. In the early days of Halo 2, the multiplayer was previewed with strictly Spartans vs Elites, but it never transitioned to the final game.
My only hope is that Halo 5 brings back Elites AND Invasion. After all, we can’t base multiplayer on the Infinity forever. I guess we’ll see where the ship’s future is headed.
