Halo 5 Invasion ?

[Chevelle]

I don't see a lot of topics on Invasion anymore. I was actually upset when i found out that it'd be absent in Halo 4, but either way, do you think invasion will make a return in Halo 5 ? Personally, i really liked it. That was the only game mode i played with the exception of Big team Battle and Team Slayer. But, the only thing Halo 4 did that somewhat resembled Invasion was create Dominion and i still felt as if it wasn't enough, but i took what i could get, and now, it's gone, i can't even play that, hah. Being big on Battlefield, i really grow bored of a game if i don't exactly have an objective. In fact, now that i think of it, Invasion was like Battlefield's RUSH game mode. But, that's besides the point. Anywho, do you guys think invasion would make a return in Halo 5 ?

I don't know let just hope they take some things Reach and the other games too

[Guts]

Invasion was one of my favorite modes I do hope it returns

[DracoAvian]

If not Invasion, then some sort of asymmetric, progressive, and team-oriented gametype.

[PAINGIVER]

everybody loves invasion they might as well but it in halo 5 to make us all happy

[Sean McHuge]

I love the rhythm of battle it simulated. It needs to be in 5 how can we get their attention... I got it. We kidnap a employee of 343 and then we can make our demands who's with me?!?!?

I didn't like Invasion to be honest, I felt as if the Spartans got the advantage. By advantage I'm talking about weapons wise. But, that's just me. I'm just not big on playing as an elite, the only reason I'd like to have Invasion in Halo 5, is if they only add it as an option on the playlist.

[Sean McHuge]

elites have regenerating health, that was one advantage, that leap can be distructive if you know how to flank your target. use the needler and active camo you would do better you have to use your brain on the assult finding weak points its fun but you have to work as a team to break or hold the line i assume u had alot of no mics or split screen players right? when the game is played right those 3 mins can feel like a eternity. its a game type that makes you cheer when a tank blows up or when you finaly get that ******* in the banshee. atleast thats how i feel about it. 

But i wouldnt mind them building on the idea maybe instead of territorys to capture give like a generator or a big door or wall to break down with explosives. or ram it with a tank or something. it just adds to the intence battle feel. a task to be done or objective adds element of survival to the mix. That is what warfare is really about not getting shot. haha

Invasion was fun, I felt Dominion did good replacing it (What time Dominion was in Halo 4's matchmaking that is.) But the only reason I ever played Invasion was because it was Spartans vs Elites and I didn't even like playing as an Elite, I preferred playing as a Spartan. But there was just something special about gunning down Elites (controlled by real players) in matchmaking. 

 

So I wouldn't say Invasion needs to make a return to Halo 5, but Spartans vs Elites in matchmaking definitely deserves some deep consideration from 343.

[Sean McHuge]

Don't you like the feeling of surviving war and being apart of it. Maybe the elites need like a vehicle to start with or the drop should supports the advance. It could use tweaking yes but what invasion could be is enough of a reason to bring it back.

not a battlefield fan? Cod huh..

[Sean McHuge]

Or have grunt and jackal bots to hide behind that guard flanks and operate anti air weapons or something like a star wars battle front meets halo thing tell me that wouldn't be fun that could help with players who used to spawn camp

In some way invasion needs to return because in the base game of Halo 4 there was no phase gametype for example

 

 

Phase one you would just have to go on foot

 

Phase 2 you get a mongoose and warthog

 

Phase 3 you get a falcon

 

So that is what I mean the maps slowly opens up with new weapons and vehicles coming out with every phase in other words

( The battle gets battle gets bigger as time gets on )

Conversion was a phase gametype. It is a heavily modified version of extraction that plays a lot like a chaotic invasion. A little unbalanced but loads of fun.

[Caboose The Ace]

Bnus I never played conversion ( I may have but that was soon to be a year in 3 months )

We need to find a email address and email a list of our gamer tags and demand invasions return

[ShockGazm]

If you could play as a Promethean in matchmaking that would be pretty cool, I'm sure there would be a way to work it out. Spartans vs Promethean on Invasion... I can see it now.

I'm not too sure if we'll see that happening in Halo Xbox One. We would be slightly over powered and they would have to change the game mechanic completely. The HUD, the vehicles, the loadouts/classes. These are only a few of the many things that will need to be considered.

 

I loved playing Invasion in Halo Reach though and I would love to see it make a return.

[Sean McHuge]

I think there should be bots protecting the attackers spawn so you can't get spawn camped. I play invasion any chance I get this is my tag. Mr McHuge

Invasion needs to return, but in a different way. First of all, now user generated maps. There is no more Spire or Boneyard in Reach anymore, and all the user generated maps are annoying. If the Xbox One's engine permits it, a space battle between a Frigate and a Corvette. You can drop down in a drop pod into a small area in the planet below, maybe a remake of Spire. If not, then maybe three way invasion with Spartans, Elites, and Promethians.

[Jack Of Harts]

Invasion was one of the few things Reach did really well. I'd love to see it come back on the Xbox One.

Forging Invasion maps was very confusing on Reach though. They should make it much easier if they bring it back.

Those are two really interesting ideas. Three way Invasion seems complicated but fun. The Prometheans could be A.I's and the Elites and Spartans could be allied with each other against them. As long as the Elites aren't Storm Covenant. I also like the idea of dropping down from a ship. That would be fun and interesting to see.
