I have seen it suggested and I agree, Invasion in Halo 4 would work a lot better if you could play as any of a number of races or classes. Invasion is already a lot different from regular slayer, so making it a bit more different would not be that big a deal.
So that said I think invasion in halo 4 should be a bit like battlefront where class is a viable option.
For example you can play as UNSC Engineer, or Soldier, or ODST or Spartan, but to unlock something like spartan you need to get kills, or maybe Spartan would be unlocked from the start but balanced somehow.
If covenant was in the game then they could have grunt, jackal, Brute, elite and perhaps even hunter.
The objective however could still be a part of the game, and you could still have to secure weapon drops.
What do you think, would this type of gameplay work in Halo?

Okay so you just replied back to me with things I’m already aware of…nevermind.
Hmmm. I heard that 343 mentioned a new gamemode. People also said they’d rather have them expand and improve upon something that’s already there. Maybe they’re doing both by taking Invasion and expanding upon it to make its own mode instead of a gametype. I think it’s doable and I think it’s a brilliant idea.
Honestly, I’m a fan of Star Wars, but I have never played any of the Battlefront games, so I don’t know how this would work, but based on what is being said, I could see a good game being made like that for Halo, like Halo Wars was made outside of the FPS genre. From what I can tell is it seems like Battlefield 3 somewhat though, you start off as a class and as you progess you unlock more, if I’m wrong I have no idea, again as I’ve never played Battlefront. I don’t see this happening in Halo 4, but if they ever made a game like this I wouldn’t mind playing it. It would be fun to run through as the different types of Marines of the UNSC and so on.

If we keep all relevant Invasion posts in one thread it is more likely to be acknowledged because: it will always be near the top of the recent lists and it will be a home for important Invasion players and posts.
