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


If all goes well we'll be able to playtest tomorrow. Worst case scenario, I end up rebuilding it right before the playtest :P

Will keep you all posted.

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.

And Rush is better designed than Invasion (as far as what goes into matchmaking, of course). I just wish BF randoms were a bit better. They're better than Reach randoms, though, I'll give them that.

Invasion's potential just needs to be tapped into. Hopefully this map shows forgers and players what Invasion could be like.

Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

Invasion is the ideal gametype for reach in my opinion, just needs the right maps and tweaked settings.

...maybe... >.> <.<

I would have been done already if I was building a 4v4 ODST map. But Invasion needs vehicles and it has linear spawns. It's a challenge to build a vehicle friendly space. I have to make sure the vehicles at least have a circular path to drive around.

I'm almost there...

Let me try it when you're done.

ODST doesn't need a whole lot of vehicles. IMO, an overturned Warthog and a few Mongooses along the way along with a few Ghosts and MAYBE a Revenant would do the scenario justice.

I wanted to put a tank on it just for teh lulz. It would look so badass running alongside a tank through the streets.

Guess I'd have to play ODST for that experience :/

I'm a very fast forger when I have a blueprint or image to create. So once I'm done with the official blueprint it shouldn't take me more than 5 hours to build. Hopefully tonight it'll be up. I built 4 maps today already but I keep running out of room for spawns due to budget constraints.

You'll see everything I'm talking about once the map is up.

It's starting to seem like it might be a law of the universe that Goat can't finish ODST Invasion.

I can finish it with the glitched canvas. 50 walls isn't enough

I got an idea. I'm gonna build some of it on grass so I can save a couple of walls. Budget crunching is a lot easier than designing the map, which is good. I have a solid layout right now so I just need to conserve on pieces as much as possible.

patience, young one. First phase of the latest design is just about finished. Assuming I don't run out of walls or space, this should be the one I post tonight. I'm just worried that it might be too small for 12 players again :/

Boneyard's issue is more with loadouts than anything. But the vehicles could be protected too.

Use the grass as apart of a Park or something. Just to make it logical.

I tried the quarry and I didn't have any luck :/ I have a lot of walls though in the current design so I think I'll be okay.

Should have the thread posted before the night ends.

As long as I don't have to use the AR I'll probably enjoy it.

Give them DMRs/NRs in loadouts for all phases.

I was originally planning to have DMRs and NRs in the beginning loadouts. However, I'm thinking of just placing them as pick ups instead. It seems as though there'll be too many LoS issues in the first phase and I'll have to either add more cover or force players to use sprint so they can get to cover faster. The last thing I want is to have you getting cross map spammed because there's no corner for you to take cover behind.

All this is part of the wonderful world of level design, which I hope players appreciate more in the future.
