I hope this gets finished tonight. I want to be part of the test team.


You know what, I'm just gonna stop being a perfectionist and just post the first draft here instead. If it sucks I'll go back and fix whatever needs to be fixed.

Don't rush or anything. If it's messed up and you can see that, then don't feel pressured to release a bad build. You can be the Valve of Reach maps and give us a release date of when it's finished.

I was only going to post a feedback thread so gather opinions on the current design. I think I know what I need to fix right now but it's tedious to do so and I'm low on budget. I still having trouble with spartan spawns but this version of the map looks so much better than any of the others.

I had to toss the Pelican though :/

Hopefully one of the new maps (Timberland, Hang 'Em High) has a forge palette like forge world. I have a brilliant idea for Timberland Invasion.

If I put it back in now it'll cost over 1500 bucks, and I only have 2300. There's no room to put it anyway...

It was a choice--either I build a plaza or a large building. I chose large building instead.

If you want I'll build the plaza and the pelican. I'm just conscious of LoS right now. The building blocks line of sight better

Can you post a picture of it from an old map?

Okay so please make the map as well as you can manage. Your perfectionism is the reason you can make good maps.

UGGGGH the map is still too small! Why can't there be 4v4 Invasion?

-_________-

I'm just gonna finish up what I have and post it for feedback. Been working on this for 6 days straight and I still running into simple obstacles. I built like a dozen maps and tore through hundreds of copy paper to end up back where I started.

It's too damn small!


and no, that's not what she said.

Glitched map, NOW!

Glitched map, NOW!


I have to move the walls to where I want them, which takes twice as long. And I can't build it in the skybox if I use glitched walls. I'm doing pretty good on wall limit right now. It's just that it's gonna be too hectic and Spartans only have one elevated spawn...

I don't wanna spawn people out in the middle of no where cause they'll just get picked off. The map might play well against disorganized teams, but good players will be team shooting like crazy. I don't know if I can adequately add that much cover.

One version had a few buildings you could go into. I ended up scrapping that one too cause the first phase was too narrow :(

I think I'm spending too much time on Phase 1.

Hmm...I need to devise some sort of new aesthetic for the next layout.

Anyway, I'm gonna post it here shortly.

That one sounds the most interesting. Narrow movement areas be damned. Just limit us to grenades on the map.

What I might do is just combine them again.

It's a lot more difficult than just that. The buildings were nice but I don't like narrow first phases. I want the first face to be wide and action-packed.

We can discuss this more in the new thread I'm about to post. This one's pretty much a public message between you and I now :P

What's wrong with public messaging? I'm the only one on who cares right now. Every other forum goer has seen your thread donated their opinion and moved on without a thought and ThreeSix's xbox crapped up so he can't join in, unfortunately.

Anyway I hope to see it soon and get in on a test game.

I'm just battling roadblock after roadblock. Lemme tell you this though--if it was illegal to waste paper I'd be in jail already. You should see how messy my computer desk is with all these blueprints lying around.

Subject: What's your opinion on Bungie's style of Invasion?

Invasion would be a lot better if vehicles spawned in areas that the opposing team can't get into. There's nothing more annoying than when someone steals the other teams vehicles because they can't play the game without doing so.

Protected vehicle spawns is a catch-22. On one hand, the enemy can't get to them, which is supposedly a good thing. However, on the other hand their own team can't use them either unless they die and spawn there. I used to 'suicide' in the game to get to the tank on Boneyard, and I'm sure others have done the same.

This is why I don't advise using laser doors unless it's absolutely necessary. A team of good players isn't going to be dying a lot, meaning the vehicles could potentially go unused for the phase.

Pretty boring. Not my cup of tea.


I imagine you feel that way because we spend way too much time walking to the objective, right?
