My main worry is Elites hiding in buildings with plasma pistols waiting to ambush the tank. But I suppose that's what teammates are for--making sure those buildings are clear of Elites so they can't board it too easily.

4 lanes will reduce this, but they'll still be able to EMP the tank easily.

EDIT: Screw it 4 lanes it is. The wraith can use barricades as cover. I'm so doing that.

UPDATE 2:

Camo has been omitted from loadouts due to how easy it makes boarding vehicles and camping around the city corners. Unfortunately, this includes the possibility of a camo pick up as well. Powreups and pick-up AAs are only allowed on MLG maps.

The following AAs will be available to players:

Sprint, Hologram, and Armor Lock for Spartans
Evade, Hologram, and Armor Lock for Elites

Armor Lock doesn't come in until phase 3 when the Wraith and Tank spawn.


Drop Shield was omitted so people don't huddle over the Core with it and slow down the game. Jetpack was omitted for obvious reasons. And I just explained why Camo was taken out.

If Invasion was 4v4 I'd build it with 2 lanes. But 12 players running around on such a small street would be beyond chaotic.

Actually, it wont be so bad for infantry players. It's just when the vehicles come in that it becomes a problem. The tanks take up the entire street which leaves little opportunity to put cover for infantry, or even cover for vehicles like that large barricade.

I'll keep testing them out and see where it leads.

Yup. Just spent the last 2 hours testing out the differences between 2 lanes and 4 lanes. I think I've settled on 4 lanes.

Oh, and this stream is going on all night this time. I'm pumped on all sorts of caffeinated drinks.

How does one speed forge as fast as you? Is it just the amount of time you've spent there?

Well I've forged half of these aesthetics a million times already, so I know what piece to toss down and what goes together with another, etc. It's mainly just experience and practice

If Forge calculated time spent and had a leaderboard, I'd be in the top 10

I missed something. Someone mentioned a spiraling staircase and I haven't seen anything like that yet.

I used a spiral staircase in a unique way on one of the buildings. You'll see in a moment

You will see soon.. He used the outside of the spiral staircase to make a corner, instead of using a brace, large.

Edit: *sigh* what goat said...

Oh. Those rounded corners is what you were talking about. Okay.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Wait... is what you're streaming just you building different portions of the map on separate canvases?

what i'm currently streaming right now is the map. The other day I was designing parts that I may or may not end up using in this version.

You implied in a previous post that Phases 1 and 2 are already built.. I have yet to see them though..? You should be a nice guy and fly through it quick before I get some sleep :)
