What is your opinion on invasion mode?

[Good-Old]

Invasion mode is something that was first seen in Skulltag. Where you have to defend against waves of monsters with respawning ammo and health. Sometimes you have to keep doing it for a certain number of waves while some require you to endure the waves as long as you can before dying. What do you think about it and what is your favorite invasion mod?

I actually wish there were more of those mods being made, I've given some thought into making maps for invasion. It's great fun on survival coop and Satan's Covenant is one that my group and I often come back to. Good gothic set.

Doom definitely needs more invasion wads. Heaps of fun. 

I'm considering organising a project in the future (nothing planned yet so won't be anytime soon)

I like invasion-style gameplay in most games, but I'm not the biggest fan of Skulltag Invasion.

 

I feel like it's a little too prescriptive and inflexible - it comes off as coop with extra steps - rounds, arenas, and specific monster spawners.  Some of the specifics of Skulltag's implementation also presupposes a level of map sophistication that is simply not present in most doom ports.

 

I think I prefer the chaos of more open levels in games like Killing Floor, or the unpredictable linearity of games like Left 4 Dead.  I'd love to see a port try an implementation along those lines.

They're fun! Unfortunately not much are being made, yeah. I only know 2 sort-of-modern invasion mods: Reelism 2 and Deathmatch Simulator, and even then they're not /exactly/ invasion.

I wonder if it would be possible to make an universal invasion mod of sorts, using deathmatch starts and all to make every deathmatch map an invasion map.

Reelism's getting a sequel? Oh yes. It better have a some more new shotguns than the previous one(I know it's kinda funny/stupid, but the original only had 1 new shotgun)

Invasion is a lot of fun on Zandronum online, just don't skimp on the runes 😅

I have never played an Invasion WAD but it sounds I should probably play an invastion WAD

Invasion is the best game mode ever glad to see some well known people in here liking it!
