Goat you should check out the Last Resort remake, Camp Froman by Xx Overkill Vr. Its set up to support Invasion. I would love to try Invasion on Last Resort if you got enough people for a playtest.

I played invasion on that. Support would be a very big exageration. I wild say they placed spawn zones on it and that was as far as they thought about it.

Seawall is blocked off too I think...How does it play?

Horribly. Once you get the second phase. Spartans start spawning inside the building but elites continue spawning from the phase 1 spawn zone. Makes it extremely slow and unfun.

1st Phase- Spartan Spawn at the tower/base at the windmill. Near where the exploding bridge thing was.

Elites spawn on the Beach and Sea wall. The objective is to take Camp F.

2nd Phase- Spartan spawn changes just a little bit, getting closer to the main base, but not quite inside it.

Elites spawn Sea Wall and Camp F. with the objective of planting a bomb at the bases gate.

3rd Phase- Core extraction, basically the same spawns as before, maybe Spartans getting closer Sea Wall spawns and Elites getting the option for beach spawns throughout for Vehicles.

U liek? Lol

That sounds more developed than when I played it. What about the weapons?

  • 01.30.2012 11:04 AM PDT

Wtf, why has everyone played this but me? Thanks for the in depth description Acid. It is appreciated.

The thought sounds cool though. Opening the gate to snatch the core could have been interesting.

OP has been updated. Also, this:

Forerunner Invasion

The idea behind this concept is that Spartans are infiltrating a Forerunner structure that is currently occupied by Elites.

Aesthetics I'd like to include on this map are:

-Pistons from Sacred Icon
-Covie Watch Tower
-Lightbridges
-Death Pits (this and the above meaning it'd have to be an indoor structure)
-Pelican

More ideas are welcome. I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate vehicle combat into the latter phases. I might need to build it outdoors instead of indoors.

I'd like to clarify that what I posted was just my idea of how Invasion on Last Resort could be set-up. I have never played the Forged map mention above, but since RC Clone said it was horrible I was suggesting how to fix it/make it better.

Just throwing ideas around.

You could try to mimic the "feel" of the lightbridge in the tunnel on the level Halo from CE.

I know just how to do that :D It's gonna be awesome.

That's if I keep the indoor idea. IDK if I have enough walls to do an indoor map cause it needs room for vehicles too.

Maybe what I'll do is build the forerunner structure between alaska and montana. That way vehicle combat occurs in Alaska. Problem with this though is that it's essentially a bridge map, which hvae been done to death.

Less than 2 minutes.

Do you have any idea what music you plan on using?

The middle of this

I'll be using that for the Forerunner project. For the ODST one I'll use something from the ODST soundtrack.

I really like the middle-end of "Finale" from ODST. It reflects the ODST feel imo.

He couldn't make anything completely for the ODST map. So he stopped for now.

Why don't you actually just stick to one project and get it done instead of all this bs about you being an amazing forger and map designer etc. When you havn't prodeced jack all. Btw did you make think twice?

Why don't you watch the stream one of these days and see how difficult it is to make an Invasion map? I've been working every day for 3 months on the ODST project and it came to a point where I was going in circles instead of arriving at a conclusive design. I know a few other forgers who have also been working on Invasion maps for a while; however, they didn't have a draft before they started building, which is why they are now on version 20 tweaking the map and fixing the mistakes that I bypassed in the 3 months of planning.

Invasion maps are the most difficult maps to forge. Period. And ODST is an even more difficult map to Forge because it essentially needs to be build from the ground up and you can't make any mistakes in its design lest you run into major problems that'd require complete overhauls of the design.

Ask anybody who's watched the stream--I know how to Forge but that doesn't mean I can crap out maps and call them good. It takes more than just knowing how to use the editor to make a good map, which is why maps like Think Twice--despite being well forged--play terribly.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

I feel really retarded for making an invasion map and then being finished one week later.

Goat makes Think Twice okay to look at as favor to a retarded forger.

Gets blamed for its gameplay all the time.
