Probably 3, if 343 is sticking with the old rule.

Did you see the SDV-Corvette in the background? It’s good to see we’re not only going to see one model (or two, if you count the size difference between the CCS and the CRS cruisers…) for Covenant ships. Though I’m still confused at the green colouration of both the CRS and the SDV shown on the map, as this will be set during the war… It does seem a little strange for maps to be set during these battles, when it is simply Spartan vs Spartan. If Tribute was indeed glassed, imagine if Tribute was your home planet? I’d find it a little disrespectful to use it as a training simulation. I’m over thinking it, but from a canon point of view it is quite strange. Anyway, I’m glad Tribute is finally making an appearance after it being endlessly mentioned. :stuck_out_tongue:

No, that would make even less sense. Why would Thel’s faction be attacking a human colony? During the war? The green colouration signifies the Covenant remnant, that is what I’m confused about. The remnant, and its modified technology, would not have been around during the war, as there wouldn’t be a remnant, there would be the Covenant.

Though I do agree to a green colouration for Sanghelios. It would suit them, and provide a differentiation between the remnants and Thel’s faction, and would continue from the Seperatist’s colours. I would prefer a real green colours for Thel’s faction, like that of the Separatist phantoms. Not the green lighting of the remnant. :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: There you go. :smiley:

6347

Here’s an idea. On Sanghelios some of the more intelligent Elites have begun to form a group that wishes to form a direct alliance with Humanity. These Elites have found out that Humanity are the Reclaimers and the future protectors of the galaxy through a previous minor covenant prophet, which did not say anything for fear of execution at the time. The prophet begins to explain the mantle of responsibility to more and more Elites, who at first do not trust the prophet because of Truths previous attempt at their destruction. These Elites begin to believe though when some of the others who believe that Humanity is the strongest now in the Galaxy must be allied with to attain this great peace, and that their is not any backdraw to this if they take caution to see how Humanity behaves with the alliance. The large group who find this reasoning spreads like a wild fire. In this fire some of the other Elites who do not believe in this leave, and those stuck with the old hate of Humanity begin to form a group which opposes these Elites entirely. The anti-Humanity group may join Telcam or Jul later in the story. The Elites send out a ship to Earth to make an alliance. Earth calls upon Infinity to make the alliance seeing the opportunity to grow more powerful (if not the Infinity then another ship which may appear in Halo 5). The Infinity call for help from Earth to reinforce their people on the ship. Within these reinforcements they send in Elites as well, who will act upon the future of the alliance between Humanity and the new faction of Elites. So we could have if not an Elite ops then the continuation of Spartan ops but with the availability of Elites to play. It would also explain why Elites are on the Infinity in war games, etc.

I like this Idea to.

I can see that being the end of the Spartan Ops series and gets us ready for the Halo 5.

I think if they mixed invasion mode with dominion mode it would be awesome.

My idea for halo 5 invasion mode goes like this.

Team 1, Sangheili ofcourse, vs team 2, spartans. Basicly both teams have one base, a citadel or Tier 3 base (Tier 1 is a outpost, basicly like the bunker on the H3 map standoff, Tier 2 is a fort, basicly an equivalent of the H3 map Stand off, and Tier 3 which is basicly a full base) where teams spawn, collect weapons, get vehicles, etc.
Now there are several territories that each team can capture where they get a base, (bases will be stylized to the factions so Team 1 gets a covenant bunker, etc) now teams will get points from things like kills/hijacks/gamestuff and the team commander (if its a clan match, if its a public match it’ll do it automatically) will allocate these points to bases to upgrade bases in various aspects like defenses (Auto defenses, building strength, non-auto defenses, etc) and so on.
As teams expand they the map gets colored to show their territory and in these territories the team that owns them gets various buffs- but enemies will also get buffs, so while the defenders might get resupplies, attackers will get air strikes.
Now you may be wondering, Esro, this sounds more like dominion mode, where is the invasion aspect of it? And I’ll tell you! Not only will some maps be more focused on one side advancing then another, the majority of the maps will have a third, NPC faction, in the middle. They will only have one base, but it will be basicly an uber fort directly in the middle, and both teams will need to fight for control of different parts of it, Imagine Boneyard, fighting your way into the ship, and then to the core room… only to find you just made it through the outer defense! And then the real fun begins as you made your way to the pillar of autumn- and more exactly, to the bridge!

So from this you can tell that the maps would need to be very, very big, and thus the teams equally large. That being said teams will be broken down into companies, 16 people, strike teams, 8, and squads, 4. Obviously it probably wouldn’t be able to be handled by the xbox 360, but since halo 5 is most likely going to come out on the new xbox, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Anyways that’s my two cents for invasion mode, I just hope 343 actually reads the forums…

A green scarab with war paint on it, now that would be a sight to see.

wellt he question is which other color, sense they only used green to let the UNSC know they are on their side, sense Color seems to be a way for an animal to Identify something.

I think it needs to be a little more high tech than that. After all, Jul and his men could paint their phantoms green in an attempt to fool the UNSC.

They could have some sort of interlink between allied ships so they could mark which ships are allied.

that’s pretty much Modern Day IFF. Which would work swimmingly well in the far future

Sorry I ment thel and his men, I was thinking of Jul when I made that post

Good in canon, bad in gameplay, unfortunately. Simply having an IFF would cause confusion, even more so if the Phantoms of both factions use the same model. There needs to be differentiation between the vehicles of either faction. Though I wouldn’t know where to start… The only ways I can think of at the moment would be a colour differentiation, or to simply use different models of vehicles. Spirit/Contrition-class(!) for the remnant, Phantom for Thel’s faction perhaps? :smiley:

> I don’t think I would want all of Thel’s Elites to be green I like variety.

I didn’t mean all of them being green… I agree, a little variety never hurt anyone (Story of this thread… xD). :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree that Thel and the Elites would have brand new vehicles and transport. Ideas is beyond me

Its very possible they have advanced IFF that can make differentiations, and it is also possible that Humanity has a different advanced type of IFF they give to Thel’s troops so they don’t accidentally attack them. Though I prefer your idea on having different vehicles it doesn’t seem possible for some vehicles due to the Remnant already using phantoms as well as Thel’s faction. Rather Thel could have vehicles with very clear modifications. Such as a lich with a mini MAC cannon, or a new mini flight transport inspired by the falcon, and even a phantom that has gauss cannons at the side. Each factions could have specific colors that go along with that. Human=Green, Thel’s Elites=Blue, and the Remnant could be Orange to represent their loyalty to the Didact. The colors could be given variety with Blues being able to have Blue-Green, etc.
