He's been corrupted by Reach!

I guess that means movement speeds, jump height, shield recharge time, and gravity are going to be default?


Yep. And everyone is going to be forced color black.

totallymassive would hate your gametype.


LOL I remember that thread :P

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Too many vehicles and all the Power Weapons being in a single cache are a no. One power vehicle per team is ideal (EX: Banshee/Scorpion, Wraith/Scorpion, Banshee/Falcon, Wraith/Falcon), with one other light or ground vehicle per team.

The good thing at least is that I'm developing new aesthetics through each draft. So the final one is gonna look soooo good.

I think I have a good layout now. I know I've said that a million times already but this time I'm sure of it. It's difficult to be building this from scratch, which is why it's taking a long time. I like the challenge though.

Spawning, player movement, objectives, etc all need to be considered

Oh, and everybody's favorite vehicle is going to be on the map.

Bit bigger than that.

I've seen a lot of good suggestions here and I think anything I say will probably already have been said. A little variety in between the phases is always great. Like on Breakpoint, much better than just capturing two points on Spire. Also, is it possible to have more than 3 phases? I wouldn't mind a longer game of Invasion.

Are you gonna need testers at some point?

Goat;
If you're still hunting for playtesters for your Invasion map, drop me a line if I'm on Live at the time. I'd be happy to help in any way possible.

It's a budget crunching pelican

EDIT: Got a new layout; rebuilding map from scratch once again.

As new ideas come in, I have to sometimes go to extremes to fit the map.

I think I'm the only Invasion forger who cares about the first thing that a player sees when they respawn. I have to check every angle and every turn to adjust anything from LOS blockers to that 'wow' factor.

What will the player see off spawn? What will they see when they turn the corner? What will they see when they look up? All that matters a great deal to me.

  • 11.01.2011 7:34 PM PDT

Just a thought: maybe you could upload one of the old versions of this map to your File Share. Mention in the description that it is not the final product.
You would definately receive some ideas from other Forgers. Some might even work for your final version.

Step 1: Add an Elephant.

Step 2: Use up all budget with complex structures.

Step 3: Delete important map geometry to fit in the scenery.

Step 4: ????

Step 5: Profit!
