I thought Invasion was an amazing idea, but the execution was weak.


Its supposed to be an INVASION.


1) Make it AT LEAST 16 players minimum.


Only 12 people in Invasion, very weak. It doesn't feel 'BIG" like it was supposed to. Halo 4 needs at least 16 players for Invasion period. Even better, Halo 4 should make Invasion special by making it 24 players for only Invasion, it would make the battles epic.


2) Fix that f***** annoying "0 seconds till respawn crap!


We all know this ANNOYING plague of the Invasion gametype. It says 0 seconds till respawn, yet you have to wait 3-5 seconds STILL. VERY annoying and stupid how Bungie couldnt have fixed this.


3) Destructible environments are NEEDED for this gametype.


Do something to make the gametype special.



ANything else you guys want to add?

Halo has never introduced a gametype and removed it.

Those are different. There is nothing special about them compared to other gametypes. Invasion's formula is completely different form other gametypes

Squad Battle was a hell of a lot better than stupid invasion and I hope it doesn't come back

Invasion doesn't need to be 'big'. It needs to be focused. The reason it feels 'weak' at 6v6 is because too much time is spent walking to the objectives and not enough is spent fighting for them. I've made several Invasion maps where the Defenders feel overwhelmed because of how concentrated the action is.

I doubt we'll be seeing Spartan vs Elite Invasion in H4 because Elites are already on the Human's side at that point in the Halo storyline. Any other enemy would just feel...well, weird. So unless we get a huge support group on Waypoint for the gametype, its chances of returning are slim.

With that said, I agree that the spawn glitch needs to be fixed, though it's not that big of a deal. What Invasion really needs is more than 3 objectives. The addition of a health-based generator as well as a slayer phase are just a few ideas off the top of my head.
