Couldn't you just use the Coliseum walls?


Yes, but without the brace larges they feel a bit bland and it would require more walls. I save about 2-3 walls by incorporating brace larges.

No worries though. I have enough budget for them. I should have done this design on Jackal Creek and Pioneer. It looks really cool.

Go back and change them then. I have the latest copy you made if you need it. I just would have to get my Xbox working.

Ya I'll go back and update Jackal Creek sometime soon. Though I was looking more into a redesign than an update.

Pioneer's undergone an overhaul and I'm halfway done with it. Will work on that too when the Forerunner Invasion map is done. I mainly redid the base and the side structures.

I think this map should have a really good balance between indoor and outdoor combat. The indoor areas shouldn't be campable like boneyard, but still give enough space for players on foot. Have you planned any objectives or weapon/vehicles yet?

P1 Territories

P2 Territories (cause Assault is glitched)

P3 Core retrieval

That's about all I got. A list of aesthetics that I want to include are:

-Lightbridges
-Deathpits
-Covenant PowerCore
-Pelican
-Covie Watch Tower <3
-Weapon Drop Pods

Not sure if Pistons will still make the cut. But ya there'll a mix of indoor and outdoor combat. Just need to figure out what structure will best support that.

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

The bomb doesn't reset if it falls out of bounds and you can't separate the arm time from the disarm time.

That's eye opening.. Thank god my invasion map doesn't have assault.

Have you still kept reverse core in mind?

I'd love to do reverse core but I have to build with the standard Invasion experience in mind if I want to get it into MM.

Maybe I'll incorporate it in Phase 2 -shrugs- Just need to figure out what'd make sense.

Originality is always good though. I wonder what 343i thinks about that. Have you done much on the waypoint forums?

Are any of the maps up yet? There's a severe lack of good Mombasa maps.

That's for Goat to answer. I'm the "I'll just pretend I know everything there is to know about how to balance the sandbox" kind of guy.

The Forerunner Invasion one will be the first up, followed by the ONI map and then ODST soon after. Testing for the Forerunner map is set to occur sometime in the first week of February

EDIT: I can haz title? :D

UPDATE:

Work on the ONI Invasion map has started. Here's what I have planned so far:

P1: Elites break through the wall surrounding the ONI building

P2: Elites fight through the courtyard and push onto the ONI building

P3: Elites steal the data core and escort it to their Phantom waiting outside


Yes, that means I have to forge a Phantom. Or a Spirit--whichever one I can make look more accurate. I'm working on this one because it's easier to do Elite Offense than Spartan Offense. The other two would require more in-depth collaboration from fellow forgers and invasion players alike.

Any ideas for the map are welcome. I'm building it on Alaska.
