This is the most schizophrenic show I have ever watched.

Dude talking right now looks like another Frankie knockoff. Geoff Keighly get your goddamn head out of the way of DMR footage.

Loadouts and map sections unlock as the game goes on! :D
We still don't really know what the objective is though, unless I just missed it.
Boneyards setting is very cool. That ship looked sweet.
 

Not a Jellyfish

but I am a sheep
Okay...well he didn't say how you unluck the next phases of the map/game mode...please be more info than that.

Now that Elite assassinating that Spartan looked pretty epic!
 
The kill with the sword is amazing.

Awesome, invasion sounds cool.. But still its kinda mysterious. I guess we will need a invasion reveal part 2. :lol

I really hope there will be a mod with Spartans invading a covenant base in the final game.

Wow, everything looked so sexy.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I watched through Tashi's stream. I couldn't gather anything from the visuals, but invasion sounds like a step forward in FPS MP evolution. I can't wait.

Its obvious the Elites have to unlock objectives to open the next part of the map. It was never said but shown in gameplay throughout the entire show. You guys freaking out need to chill

WTF is Invasion? Three phases? The third is "chaos". Big letdown on the lack of details.

They didn't tell us exactly what it is. What gives?

We can only assume though.

Duuuuuude, show Carney some respect!

So, from what I could gather, the Elites have to stand in those marked areas for some length of time to unlock the next area? I'm a bit disappointed in how poorly the mode was explained, ah well.

Those are all funny but I can't believe there was one about Dax directly.

Seriously. They told us nothing about the objective of the game type. It seemed kind of king of the hill with those those barriers they kept showing.

Something about progression? Maybe a power core? We had two weeks of various websites and updates avoiding Invasion altogether to allow this show to explain it. =\

Ah well, lots of media shortly.

Invasion reveal still coming, though I'm beginning to think it's gonna be:

Keighley: And I hear there's a new mode called Invasion. What does that entail?
Chris: Well it's Elites vs. Spartans, it's vehicle based and it's awesome.
Keighley: Well that sounds great. That does it for GTTV this week, tune in next week...
You were pretty close.

Sparks pic:

1. Ranger: Repeater, plasma pistol, jetpack

2. Royal Zealot: Nerfle, Repeater, Evade

3. Gladiator: Sword, repeater, evade

4. Champ Assassin: Invis, Needler, Repeater

So it looks like the loadouts get really powerful. Since it was said that we dont get to customize elites in the way we do spartans I wonder if the armor depends on the loadout?

Gameplay looks so good, but it seemed to me like we're in for another aliasing fest. Maybe it was the stream giving that impression, but the lines on screen seemed all jittery. Disappointing but whatever.

Boneyard being a huge out of commission ship all dismantled is really really awesome.

Invasion info wise this thing sucked, it seems like they skipped parts of the interview, I still know almost nothing on the game mode.
 
Gif request whenever someone is able to do it...

But it was at the beginning of the episode in which you got to see what an Elite's roll over move looked like through FPS.

It was sweet.

What's the weapon in Royal Zealot?

... Needler Rifle? Hmm, makes sense. Sword start makes sense considering the Spartans have a load-out featuring the Pro-pipe and also the Shotgun.

My guess is in normal invasion mode every time the Elite team unlocks a tier they get a point. I would imagine each tier is a different objective to complete not the same ol thing everytime like blowing up crates in Bad Company. It seems pretty obvious from watching all the gameplay throughout the show what the actual point of the game is.

The "Champion Assassin" loadout AA icon doesn't look like any of the ones we have seen before.

Jetpack Elite is named Ranger, so EazyB will be very happy about that.

Edit: Nvm, the icon is invis.

I can't say for sure, but I thought at one time during the show I saw Invas. Slayer on the gametype screen, coulda been the lack of sleep for me. :p

Pretty sure that's the camo loadout on the Assassin.

Evade is on the middle two, hence the arrows pointing towards him leaping...

Invasion Slayer? We know there's at least two variants.

Yeah there is normal Invasion like what I described, and also a Slayer Variant. If you look at the scores of the non slayer version it is always like 1-0, 2-0, etc...

Judging by the timer that might have just appeared on the site, the Reach footage won't be uploaded until the West Coast airing finishes.
