Won't the Pelican take up too much of the budget? Also, are you going to have to bomb something in the second phase?

Goat, I wish you could put something like this together: Click me.

I will watch your video tomorrow, about to leave work.

Second Phase is Reverse Core or at least it was going to be in some versions.

Also the Pelican takes up a little more than 1500 budget.

P1 Territories (or a single supply cache)
P2 Reverse Core (which is ridiculously fun to do)
P3 Holdout territory (which is rarely seen)

I was thinking about bomb but I figured it'd be more intense for everyone to be sitting underneath the pelican while the Elites try to stop them from taking the territory.

I just need to design it right. There needs to be sniper perches to watch the pelican.

capturing an LZ basically. It's a large 60 second territory that you have to defend while the Elites charge at you.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

You sir, are a genius.

What's reverse core?

The attackers get a core at their spawn and have to take into enemy territory.

Assault, except you can't ride vehicles, you walk slower, you glow, you can't melee, and it's insta-score.

It's basically 'escort the guy with the light up thingy' to a safe destination. Whether you're using the core to power a gate or you're taking it back to best buy for repairs, the whole concept revolves around you taking it to enemy territory instead of out of it.

In other words, instant fun.

I built 12 versiins of this map in the past week. None of them felt worthwhile until this one I just posted. I'm looking for that perfect phase 1 and I almost got it.

If you're that desperate for Invasion maps, I've got a couple in my fileshare based on Halo CE campaign missions.

Anyway, OT, if you need help testing your maps OP, I'll be happy to play test them.

Why not combine both P1 territories into 1 and add an extra 5-10 seconds to it?

My fear for one territory is just grenade spam >.>

I have a map that's 1 territory. Maybe I'll just build off of it. It also has a Pelican but it's based on a huuuuuuge plaza and it loses the building feeling I'm trying to keep. The map has to feel tall and mighty because we're in a city.

That will make player movement and decisions more predictable and easier to lock down.
