It appears that Invasion, the GREATEST mode in all of Halo Reach uncontestably, has become a horrible shadow of its former self with the Custom Games Browser being the only way to play this once awe-inspiringly legendary mode in the MCC.
Is NO ONE still down for the Bungie developed Halo Reach Invasion maps? The Reach beta was incredible, but Invasion even in its beta stage was a mode of godly beasts, it was Halo on an unprecedented scale! Invasion, Warzone and Firefight need MASSIVE re-emphasis both in the Master Chief Collection AND in Halo Infinite!
Do I even need to mention Invasion/Warzone/Firefight potential with Halo COMBINED WITH THE UNREAL ENGINE?
Ranked overall in MCC is pretty dead. But i think for invasion another problem is that it didn’t seem to have any SBMM, since people with lower ranks where often fighting full stacked teams made of level 50’s (or close to it), so that might have bullied a lot of people away from that mode.
So here’s why I, and my friends, avoid Invasion. We don’t liked ranked.
It’s as simple as that really. Invasion was always a casual mode for us, but having a rank to it is just… it turns you away if anything. To me, it’s like playing Ranked Fiesta. No need for it.
Many players feel the same, which is likely why you don’t get many players on it
I cannot agree more with you here, invasion has no place in ranking. I feel like 343i could also incentivise players to play this mode if there were challenges or more to earn in the playlist. As someone who still needs the “skuned” achievement, I doubt I will be able to earn it unless something changes. Having the game-mode moved to a different playlist and more maps involved would be an incredible start.
