Subject: How do people like Invasion..

Hi.

It's so bad... 0_o

-Spawns with stickies
-Game doesn't even start until Phase 2 (unless you're really going to count automatic weapon starts as part of the "game.")
-Bad settings (default; "vanilla", ie. full bloom and turtle movement)
-Unequal spawning

The list just goes on..

It's really bad.

Blargh!

Sounds like Battlefield 3.

Invasion was a good idea for a gametype but i think they had it nailed in the beta, the edits really messed it up. Its fun but without a strong sense of teamwork its easy to be dominated.

I used to like it but now its just too competitive for me to enjoy.

The same way people can call armor locking fun.

No. Because they lack functioning mental faculties.

I did enjoy the Breakpoint game though.

Funny thing was that I had just played 3 games of Spire Invasion a little before that.

Yeah, but Phase 1 is still so boring. Boneyard is just pants on head.

They need to have both sides start right next to the stuff.

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Three of your reasons are opinions, one is just a fact that nobody really minds anymore. Seriously, thank god there is no TU and DMR starts until phase 2, because that would make it even less balanced than the other TU playlists are.

FR0GG0 JR's the name, Halo's the Game

it is fun. especially when the opposing noobs fails at it and you bust his flaming visor into oblivion :) lol

  • 02.25.2012 2:33 AM PDT

no idea zome

if im in a party of 6 i would rather play BTB and hope our randoms just do their own thing and dont take my falcon than play invasion

  • 02.25.2012 3:11 AM PDT

but invasion is the best playlist in reach ...

  • 02.25.2012 3:34 AM PDT

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

To add to list why its horrible..

No weapon spawns on map. Run out of DMR ammo = You're -blam!-ed since armor lock loadout doesn't spawn with DMR (And everyone uses that on 3rd phase).

On boneyard, the map is obviously made by a retarded 9 year old. Weapon room? Seriously, weapon room and no other places to pick up a weapon??


To answer your question: People like Infection, and grifball. Guess Invasion is just another gimmicky retard playlist.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

It's so bad.

  • 02.25.2012 4:24 AM PDT

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

That's why I forge custom invasion maps. I really hope 343i will add community maps into invasion.

  • 02.25.2012 7:11 AM PDT

-Hey
-Yeah?
-Do you ever wonder why we're here?
-...No,I don't...
-Then what's the point of this conversation?
-I dunno man...I dunno...

Because we do.

Umadbro?

Uhmmm...

check Boneyard again. Two Needle Rifles and DMRs on Phase 1. No one really checks during Phases 2 and 3.

It's the single most legit and easy way to get k/d up quick.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Invasion isn't the type of game where it should be DMRs all of the time like almost every other playlist. It's a progression style gametype, and as much as I hate armor lock and jetpack, in that one playlist all of the vanilla mechanics seem to work well.

It honestly baffles me, but after playing with the HaloWheelmen in Invasion (a very good team) even that gametype has its own strategic niche that allows for serious tactics to be learned and tested.
