Have you made invasion maps in the past?
I seriously laughed at this. I'm not quite sure why.

Goat's not as famous as he used to be.
It's like if Steve Jobs came back from the dead in a few years and someone asked him if he's ever dealt with computers before.

Its like if Billy Mays came back in a two years or so and someone asking if he's dealt with speaking loudly- I mean commercials before.

=/ once again ODST is back on the drawing board. Not only am I almost out of walls and budget, but now I've got no where to safe spawn either team in the latter phases. Phase 1 spartans only really have 1 protected elevated spawn. Their other two spawns for phase 1 are kinda out in the open.

I have to design it in a way so both teams have safe spawns. Elite phase 2 and 3 is the most difficult to build for. Spartan phase 1 is all I have to worry about for them, because they get half of the map after phase 1, meaning safer spawns for them.

There also wont be much vehicle combat :/

My third montage!

My issue with Invasion is one that can't be resolved, that is the inherent I balance between Spartans and Elites. Then with the added unbalanced phases it makes the game type unplayable for me.


If it were spartan on spartan I would enjoy it much more.

Besides Battlefield does it better.

Goat I know nothing can be done about player models. It just seems like Invasion is kinda like Infection, there needs to be a certain level of inbalance per side/per phase, It is that (in)balance that is delicate and difficult to achieve.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

It's boring, even when I'm with a team and stat-padding.

I'm not giving up this time. Working on a redesign right now and I think I have a much better concept.

The most difficult obstacle I'm having right now is spawning. Spawning affects the direction the player moves, and if they all move a certain way the geography needs to support it. I keep neglecting to account for 6v6 gameplay. 4v4 Invasion would be easier to build.

Its hard making a tiered and complex battlefield in the first place. Doing it for even the lowest amount of players qualified for Big team variants is even harder, disregarding whether you do it right or not.

Well I'm definitely gonna be doing it right. I've got the whole concept down. Right now I'm shifting pieces around, which is incredibly tedious. I'm doing so because I needed to filter players better. I don't want a glob of 6 ODST's running around. I want them to run around in packs of 3's. The map is small enough though that they'll be able to see each other most of the time.

it's gun be epic. Just need the perfect layout.

What are your plans for the layout, any way? Nothing too detailed of course, but I'd like to know what the premise of the entire "operation" will be. Besides "There's gon be ODSTs!" of course.

Let's just say that if you didn't know ODST you'd think I created it by myself. The inital premise I guess would be that the "ODST's" are trying to retake the streets. Second Objective is going to be a blast. I'm so excited to finish

More details tomorrow, assuming I finish tonight.

Okay, that helps paint a picture in my head. So the initial spawn/"landing" should technically take place in multiple areas, right?
