Still no -blam!- love to Invasion, might as well leave it to rot. You know, Invasion is a playlist as well, and it needs some sort of update because playing on Spire/Boneyard/Hemorrhage is getting frustrating and repetitive.

Bungie created the host-selection system.

And you know this how?


LOL, Mains kids

Invasion sucks and is a pointless playlist.

It would be nice if they updated it, but I really wouldn't care if they never did. Invasion is just a screw around playlist when I don't have enough for Big Team.

Seriously though, I've been waiting months after months for Invasion to be updated and still no luck. Invasion is a fun playlist and has heap loads of potential, but it's been pushed aside like a boulder.

I don't care if it's a major overhaul or a small update, anything is better than having nothing. 343i mentioned they would update Invasion, but it's been 2 months since we last heard anything. I'm starting to give up on this game. It's great that you guys got your Arena update after what? 18 months? F**k sake... took'em long enough.

Just give it new maps and I'll be content with it.

They'll end up 'fixing' it eventually, but Arena is far more important lol.

Maybe they are trying to take their time and do things the right way.


Would you prefer knee jerk reactions?

And what if they don't? What if they said that just to keep people off their back? The choices they made in Reach thus far have alienated the community to the point where people are skeptical of their handling with the Halo franchise. See Squad Slayer's removal, bleedthrough's removal, stuff like that, and they didn't even provide a reason for it, bleedthrough I can understand, but Squad Slayer?

I hope to hear something in May, that's all I can do at the moment.

Your opinion is invalid.

Invasion isn't my thing really. What needs fixing about it?

Just new maps, people want E/S/Invasion Skirmish removed, although I don't really have an issue with it, that sort of stuff. I'm positive that playing Spire 6 times in a row gets really boring and repetitive.

invasion was always bound to fail because it only has 2 default maps and 1 from DLC. Any map made for invasion tends to be difficult to convert to a functional map for other gametypes and no developer will design DLC to benefit one specific gametype which is pretty crap for everyone else.

  • 03.29.2012 3:27 AM PDT

yeah maybe the next update will have something for invasion

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Hell, it took them a year and a half to finally address the Jetpack issue in Arena.

At that rate, Invasion will get new maps sometime in 2014.

Well that's if Reach will last that long, which I hardly doubt it will. I give them next month, if I don't hear anything regarding any changes for Invasion, screw this game. I just wait for Halo 4.

I love invasion, it's the most fun I've had playing with myself.

(There's a joke in there, have at it.)

Are there any good Forge Invasion maps out there that doesn't lag like crazy?

The entire playlist is also not TUed.
Invasion is the only playlist that shouldn't be TU. Imagine psase 1 Spire with full auto NRs.

Banshee on spire needs to go, in phase 3 of Boneyard it's impossible to break a setup since they all spawn with armor lock, Shotguns and rockets. The entire playlist is also not TUed.


Banshee is fine. Your fault if you get trapped in a set up in the first place. If you're good, would never happen.

That would imply that I'm not the one spawn killing elites with it. There's something wrong with the game when a single person can hold back an entire team. Good luck taking me down with your plasma repeaters and your needler riffles while a roll spam and blow you up with the shee bomb.


If the Elites let a single Spartan take off in their Banshee, then yes, it is their fault. If you can't keep the other team out of your vehicles you need to be punished for your poor play. That's Halo.

take banshee's out with sniper or falcon... or team shooting. and if the person flying it is a bk than use rockets or plasma launcher.

  • 03.29.2012 11:10 AM PDT

I think they should add something to the elite spawn that is equal to that of a sniper, not the focus rifle.. and fix the fuel rod spawn, should be good to go. i'm searching invasion now.
