no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Invasion is very different from the vast majority of the standard Reach gameplay. While the basic skills such as coordinated pushing and good aim remain as important as they usually are, Invasion also requires you to start using some different skills to get that coveted 3-0.

1) If you're playing defense, be aggressive.
I know it sounds rather contradictory, but being an aggressive defender can pay off in spades. Send two people towards your opponent's spawns to wreak havoc on them while providing long range support. Shutting down the attack before it even begins can be as satisfying as a last second territory defend.

2) Take your time on offense
You have 4:00 to take a 20 second territory on your first round. The second round is much the same, and the third round requires the escort of a slow objective towards a goal point. Don't worry about running out of time. Get local numerical superiority and push. Spread out while defending, because it is guaranteed that many, many grenades will be flying towards your location soon, and you don't want to give the other team an easy triple kill.

3) Spawn camp.
Yeah, it's dishonorable and all of that babble. But this is strategy, not a contest of chivalry. Keep the pressure up on the enemy, and don't let them regroup and plan something out. Every second that you aren't putting pressure on them is another second they have to make a push together and create an effective defense. Of course, don't chase a kill if you know you can't catch it, and never give up the power positions.

With these three bits of advice, your Invasion team might be as good as mine. ;)
