I keep running into roadbumps!

I'll post a sneak peak later today then.

Goat, can't you lower the version of the version of the map that is too high so that the upper area isn't in the out of bounds area? Or is that version attached to some of the physical Forge World?

I could lower it but it'd be extremely tedious and time-consuming. Plus I'm still thinking of that perfect layout. Each redesign gets me closer to finding what will work the best.

Right now I'm designing one of the buildings and I'll say right now it's pure genius. It feels like something you'd see in ODST, so I'm excited to see how it plays out. I'm only really gonna have a few accessible buildings due to budget constraints. Plus, too many open buildings will lead to camping.

I'm also designing phases around ODST music. If a song from the OST played during a huge firefight in the campaign, I want to mimic that experience.

Again, if all goes well I should either post a sneak peak or the full map tonight. If I don't finish (and assuming the map that I have built is an alpha worth continuing) there will definitely be a sneak peak--either with pictures or a brief demonstration of a phase.

Stay tuned! Oh, and when the map is done I'm just gonna post a new thread.

Got it. I've just been wanting to see what this amazing Invasion experience will look and play like. I get kind of sad every time you posted that you had to start over.

It frustrates me when I realize I don't have enough room or budget to continue building. part of me just wants to grab the 99 wall canvas and build it there. Who needs maps in matchmaking anyway?


...well, it would be nice to see it pop up in Invasion. But I doubt it cause they still have splitscreen requirements there. With the ambitious scale I'm aiming for, I doubt splitscreen will run seamlessly.

But who knows? I'm not using many tiny pieces or dense ones like glass. Mostly just coliseum walls, blocks, and brace larges.

I know i've said this before in the last 13 pages, but I think this time I have a good layout. Designing the level from the ground up is the most difficult part. The layout has to fit the music I envision playing. It has to be budget-friendly. And it has to be balanced.

Oh, and someone said something about a neutral building earlier in the thread. Well I managed to make that work sorta.

You know, come to think of it nobody has seen the ODST aesthetic I've developed except a few of the guys I used to forge with. So this should be interesting...

That's like impossible for Invasion.

I'm making it as 2 player friendly as possible.

EDIT: I think I'm gonna have to lose the pelican for this map :/

You shouldn't waste your time forging for lame gametypes like invasion, infection, headhunter, etc. The core Halo is 4v4 and it needs better maps than Pinnabad, Sword Base, and even the one you made. If you're sooooo good at Forging then make something worth playing.

So far I haven't been impressed.

I've been working on this map since last October. Just give it a chance when I release it.

I was a finalist :P

Someone should organise an approximate date for a custom game, trying the map out. Seems like it'd be fun.

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

Screw Boneyard. I don't get why elite vehicles are there to steal while the spartan tank respawns like every minute in a safe area.

I don't get why invasion is only 6v6. It's supposed to simulate actual war, so 8v8 would be fine. The maps are big enough.
Elites need something nice other than banshees.
Screw banshees.

8v8 Invasion is waaaay to hectic and that makes it even more difficult to build.

Try Battlefield 3's rush mode and then talk about hectic stuff. Reach and its Invasion manikins you guys call "players" are like dull, thumbless pixels.
