I rather have invasion or assault then extraction, because i do not like what i read. But i know that not possible in anyway (assault is, invasion isnt) Like pyro stated, its almost like demolition from CoD. Wich makes me wonder, why did they take the time and effort to make the flood (still much appreciated) but didnt make elites or prometheans. To me that looks like an trade-off, its either infection with the flood, or invasion with the elites. Flood, because infection is more played. That is Infinity Slayer, isnt it.
...I think you're taking that too far. There's a limit of how far we can take "CoDcopywtf". I understand that Halo is borrowing elements from other games (this customization/loadout crap, which I do agree is crap), but that doesn't mean that every similarity to another game was a heavy inspiration. I for one am happy to see a new gametype, seeing as it is helping to make up for the loss of Assault (I guess we could make it out of grifball, but wtf?), Invasion, Territories, possibly 1-Flag (Anyone seen footage of that?), and CTF in general as we know it. I won't judge their comparative merits until the release, however. /beatingdeadhorse High poly count for orb placement worries me. Was there lag when it happened? EDIT: Perhaps the need to create invasion-specific dev maps led to the decision not to include invasion in H4? Spire and Boneyard both had those huge waste areas where almost no one went in games..
I dont think so, i think the problem was mainly the elites, dont know why though. But i do know one thing, invasion is going to be missed (Customs mostly) and making machinmas focused on the enemies is going to be hard. We have the flood in infection, if the elites were there, i really wouldnt complain about other aspects of the game.
There's the NS no AA 'Slayer Pro' playlist. Also has no radar, but really, it's the no AAs or any of that BS that's the reason I'm interested. I'm betting that about 1000 people will reside there at a time, migrating over from Super Slayer and MLG in Reach. If you wanted Sprint, it's Infinity or nothing, or so I saw in the latest playlist picture. Then again, it didn't have Extraction so I imagine it's all subject to change. Other than that 'Slayer Pro', the other playlists I saw are all Objective (which ordinarily I would like but only Dominion and new Oddball look interesting to me and all feature Sprint/AAs/Ordinance of some kind), Infinity, or Minigames (Flood/Grifball). At least, at last check. Don't remember where I got the image. I think it was on Waypoint, actually. Well, you can join me in the dark corner of the room labeled 'Slayer Pro'...
So can someone point me out to the proper thread that explains what the gamemodes for halo 4 are going to be? so i can keep up with this descussion? thankyou
Cant find something like that. But i can give you info about what i know is confirmed. - CTF - Flood Mode - Infinity Slayer - Slayer Pro - Big team Infinity Slayer (Big team battle) - Dominion - Extraction - Griffball And some others, but i cant come up with them now.
Pretty sure no AAs, though. It's annoying, although it's not crazy bad. *Hopes that MLG getting H4 early -> Special gametype akin to ZBNS with no Sprint.* ^^Would be super great because it would include all competitive gametypes, not just Slayer. Instant respawning and sprint on Objective not being toggleable have potential to be hugely annoying. On one hand, it might mean that the Pit may not be remade and reused
If you guys wanna play halo 3, go play halo 3, with no AA's, sprint, or online presence, all this complaining about AA's and sprint is dumb considering a new addition to a game series has to make changes somewhere other than graphics. Assault was hardly ever played, no complaining from me about that. While invasion was fun, it was confusing to forge, and with the dumbed down forge system, its no surprise its gone. I like these changes, compared to reach's take on AA's, and joyed to the fullest extent about armor lock being non existent.
invasion sucked, good riddance!!!! im excited to see how the new gametypes play personally. but yea, they might suck like invasion did.
Invasion was decent. As long as the map was good. Personally, I'm wondering where the **** is race? It was popular right? I mean, there were dosens of youtube cannels committed entirely to race 343 even referenced it in some of their forge videos. I can't imagine why it got cut. EDIT: 8000 Bitches!
