Invasion is a team-based gametype and can be described as a large vehicular-based firefight.{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}} The default Invasion gametype is broken into three phases; successfully completing an objective in one phase will unlock the next phase. If the Spartans can hold out during any one phase, the game is over and they score a victory. As a result, UNSC [[Longswords]] will fly overhead and clear the zone with a tactical strike, rendering any and all data stored on the core completely destroyed. Should the Elites be in control of the current objective, the game will go into Sudden Death mode where respawning is disabled. | Invasion is a team-based gametype and can be described as a large vehicular-based firefight.{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}} The default Invasion gametype is broken into three phases; successfully completing an objective in one phase will unlock the next phase.

''Standard Invasion'' mode is the default Invasion feature. The feature is playable on three maps; [[Boneyard]], [[Breakpoint]], and [[Spire (map)| (map)|Spire]]. Boneyard's version of Invasion features the Elites on the offensive, trying to obtain a [[data core|UNSC data core]] with valuable information on it, while the Spartans are tasked with defending it. In Breakpoint's version of Invasion, the Spartans are required to prevent the Elites from extracting a data core from an ONI science facility. In Spire's version the roles are reversed: Spartans must recover a data core being held by the Elites at the top of the spire. | ''Standard Invasion'' mode is the default Invasion feature.
