Please put INVASION in social!

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Hey everyone! Just had a thought as I was thinking about Halo reach and all the fun times that were had on it. Among it’s multiplayer and firefight and amazing forge mode, something that’s been kind of forgotten by 343 it seems is the inclusion of Invasion in that package of content.

Invasion feels super supplementary in MCC right now and it’s basically a dead playlist in ranked, which is a shame because I personally loved Invasion back when reach released and can honestly say that it was my favorite part of reach’s multiplayer offerings!

Is it at all possible (or even a good idea) to basically just relocate invasion to social? Either in its own playlist or under the banner of Big team battle.

Maybe even have its own playlist under BTB that can be check marked. I really miss this game type and I gather I’m not the only one.

I feel like there’s not enough offering for the ranked playlist crowd to really get down on invasion as it has lower map count and gametype, so may be a bit unappealing for that crowd that sticks to mostly 4v4 Arena style playing.

But big team playlists are very popular it seems in social and I feel invasion (as well as maybe squad battle) would be better suited in social and would have a much better, thriving population than it does in ranked.

Just a thought. I really miss this gametype and am hoping for it’s revival.

I enjoy invasion quite a bit. It really ought to be moved to social. I hardly play ranked at all on account of how hard it can be to find games.

It was far more punishing before the rejoin feature was in place. I dont see a good reason to not have this now.

I don’t know and will never understand why they put it in ranked… It was never a ranked game mode and nor should it be.

Iirc, it was just so that it would be a static mode you could access at any time, as opposed to being something you could only get occasionally through matchmaking.

Honestly, I’ve argued for years now that they should just add the mode to H2A and Halo 4 like they did with escalation slayer, so it becomes a more viable gametype setting in the social composer. Even if those games would just use the generic Red vs Blue as opposed to Spartan vs Elite, it would at least make it more accessible alongside other standard modes for 6v6.

(also 6v6 in and of itself would be a fantastic addition, especially if the standard modes favored the autoslayer/map default settings as opposed to the precision slayer/competitive settings of 4v4 and 8v8.)
