I was thinking of this cool Invasion gametype the other day and what if you could do Invasion but in space (sorta). The battle would be between the UNSC Navy and the Covenant Navy above Reach's orbit. The UNSC's job is pretty much the same as normal Invasion, just holding off a Covenant fleet.

The UNSC loadouts for Phase 1 would be Frigates and ONI Prowlers. Phase 2 would be Halcyon-class cruisers and Destroyers. And Phase 3 would be Marathon-class cruisers and Carriers (and maybe Supercarriers though im not sure).

The Covenants job would be to escort an Assault Carrier past Reach's orbital defenses (Phase 1), then defend the Assault Carrier while it deploys its grav lift(Phase 2), then keep defending it while it deploys its troops(Phase 3). The Covenant loadouts for phase 1 would be Corvettes and Frigates. Phase 2 would be Destroyers and Cruisers. And Phase 3 would be CCS-class Battlecruisers and Light Carriers.

Tell me what you guys think?

Subject: Another cool Invasion idea

Herp derp.

Sounds good. I've wanted space battles. Though Spartans Vs Elites is old. What about Heretics vs Covenant or something of the sort?

Space themed Invasion maps have long been wanted ever since the current Invasion maps got boring.

Well because its Halo Reach. Maybe if 343i remake Halo 2 and add Invasion or something?

  • 12.28.2011 8:44 PM PDT

Herp derp.

I'd say a Halo 2 remake would follow up Halo 4, so yeah that'd work great considering Halo 2's storyline, but that's a 2 year wait.

I know. I just thought this would be cool.

  • 12.28.2011 8:46 PM PDT

Yeah. Space battles will most likely appear in Halo 4, if 343i has any idea of what they are doing. It could possibly be put into Reach, but it'd take quite a bit of effort on 343i's part.

Yeah, that'd be cool if 343 did add that. Do you think a UNSC Supercarrier could be a phase 3 loadout or do you think that would be too overpowered?

  • 12.28.2011 8:51 PM PDT

Herp derp.

It depends really. I think it'd be far more balanced if say 3 players had to cooperate together to effectively use a super carrier. If each player had their own...things could get a bit hectic.

I was actually thinking that to use those powerful ships, you would need to get a certain amount of kills or credits. Like in-game credits to unlock them. It'd be sorta like Gears of War 3 Beast mode.

  • 12.28.2011 8:57 PM PDT

Herp derp.

I'd say kills, as credits would give those with the ability to play more a greater advantage. With kills, it's based on more of a skill level.

Yeah, thats true.

  • 12.28.2011 9:03 PM PDT

Herp derp.

Also, as a reward for a certain amount of kills, how about senitels/flood come in to hamper the opposing teams progress or distract them?

Oh yeah! That'd be cool. Or if the UNSC get enough kills they could call in a Orbital Defense Platform, and if the Covenant get enough kills they could call in a Super-destroyer which has like 20 Energy Projectors on it.

Bump.
Sorry I just need to know if anyone else thinks this is cool.

  • 12.28.2011 9:13 PM PDT

Sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. Though for these ideas to work, capturing of objectives would need to be extended a bit so these 'kill streaks' (for the lack of a better term) could be used effectively.

Yes, they would need to be worked on but I wouldn't want this to turn to Call of Dutyish.

I can't see it as being relative to CoD, as in CoD vehicles are rarely accesible, nor are AI's within the map.

No im talking about the kill streaks. Though I still think they're a GREAT idea.

  • 12.28.2011 9:23 PM PDT

Herp derp.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Honestly though, I can't think of a more fair way to get them, unless you use the entire team's kills rather than an individual's.

I'd say the individuals amount of kills. As you get closer to phase 3 you'd start to be able to unlock the more powerful rewards. Like phase 1 would 10 kills for this, and phase 2 would be 15 kills, and phase 3 would be 20 kills for this certain reward.

  • 12.28.2011 9:28 PM PDT

Herp derp.

That actually sounds fairly balanced. I might actually try and forge something like this sometime later. Of course I can't get the kill rewards and ships, but I could probably capture the basic feel.

  • 12.28.2011 9:30 PM PDT

Desperation can lead into mistakes. If you think you can achieve everything, try to do that. You can earn 'em all.

A space map for invasion? That's more than a great idea.
