I haven't played Reach in so long that I can't really provide too much feedback. I just remember invasion was particularly unfun.


All of that's about to change. Watch:

-Walking time too long? Not anymore. Now the action is almost instant
-Can't see teammates? Now they're always by your side
-Keep getting spawn camped? Now you have more than one spawn for each phase
-Tired of being forced to use the AR? Now you have a choice off spawn to fit your playing style
-Tired of Boneyard and Spire all over again? Then stay tuned cause ODST Invasion is coming soon!!

:P

Like a boss.

1. No easily camped positions. ie The core room on Boneyard
2. No sword/shotgun or concusion-rifle/grednade-launcher spawn load outs.
3.Dont give one side every -Blam!- power weapon ever invented, like on boneyard lol
4. I like the idea of planting a bomb, like on breakpoint.

I want to play your map now, Goat.

Forklifts never die. They're just missing in Forge.

This better be semi-orgasmic. As an avid Invasion fan since it was announced, I hope this revives the feelings I had when I first saw Invasion gameplay in the beta trailer.

You better make this amazing. I'm confident it is, too. I really hope it's not like Reach- all hyped up and a disappointing product.

I've been working on it for over a year. I know all those trees I destroyed drafting blueprints will not go in vain.

I love all the invasions, but Breakpoint invasion is the best.

Bloom in Invasion isn't that bad. It's just terribad for default.

There's probably a no bloom and 85 bloom mod of Invasion somewhere.

Nah. It takes an hour to kill anything, snipers become unstoppable, and the shotgun class is blatantly overpowered.

That's not the fault of bloom, that is the fault of poor sandbox design.

How are you going to fix kill times and make it so the sniper doesn't get 5 chances to no scope you?

I'd like to see 85% bloom Invasion with modified damage to make the DMR a 4sk. I don't think ZB would work because the pistol would have to be scrapped.

If youshoot someone and they run to cover, that's more on the kill time and AA front than map design front (though map design can in fact increase its frequency). I have no control over any game mechanic other than what I can customize in Invasion. I can't even change the waypoints to show teammates at all times, which is why I'm building a more compact, team-oriented squad-based experience.

I understand the frustration with bloom, but to be honest I've grown to just accept that it's there. I didn't like the TU Beta playlist at all. To me it just felt like a mod of Reach and Call of Duty.

Then again, I'm probably just used to Reach by now. All I care about is making the map anyway.

He's been corrupted by Reach!

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