So many replies for nothing. Also why is it just about getting it into MM why not just a fun custom game map.


Invasion needs maps and 343 said they wanted Invasion communities to gather up maps for them, that's why.

It's not 'so many replies for nothing'. I have been working on the maps on and off when I had time, but there are things far more important than a video game, which is why I never put a deadline on the map. Worst case scenario I'll end up building them in Halo 4, assuming it still has Forge.

Again, at the end of the day it's just a video game. I'd love to just sit around and forge and play Halo all day like I used to but I can't.

Obviously people still seem interested because this thread is now pinned on the side. Whether or not they stay interested will not affect the production of these maps. That's dependent on if I have time and if 343 even really wants the maps to begin with.

I do appreciate the support and I am grateful for those who are still interested. I'll do the best I can.

I fly planes and doesnt afraid of anything

Except Aria, she scares the hell outta me

Hey, Goat, i recently finished an Invasion map - Probably nowhere near as complicated as yours, but would you like to take a look at it? Perhaps critique it?

When will I get to say me gusta to some of your ideas again, Goat?

Update: I've resumed work on an Invasion map and will have more updates in the coming weeks. However, I'd like to mention that 343 still hasn't really been transparent on Invasion map integration, so I'm debating whether to push to get an Invasion map finished for them, or simply wait till Halo 4's (supposedly) superior Forge. That is of course assuming Invasion makes it into Halo 4.

My cap card is bugging out but I'll try it out sometime soon.

I'm actually really looking forward to these being produced! You're a talented forger, Goat: Jackal Creek is always top of the party list. Best of luck, and let me know if I can help in any way.

Doesn't look like it dude. I believe they're keeping MM spartan only. Of course, that just going off the vague half-statements they've been letting out.

How come I haven't seen these maps over on Blueprint yet? I looked for them, but all I could find authored by you are 4v4 maps.

They never made it passed concepts. I had a stream up for several months showing the forging process behind these maps. It was very difficult to come up with something even remotely playable.

When a concept starts working out I'll send it Blueprint's way for sure. But till then I'd rather not post incomplete designs. I did that back in 2010 and ended up releasing 12 versions of the same map. That gets messy fast.

Ah - I see where you're coming from. I've had to make new screenshots of my Inv Skirmish map Graphite like every three days lol
Have you considered going on BP and recruiting somebody to co-forge with you? The more (good) submissions the Inv. task gets, the better the odds of 343 lowering the playlist requirements and putting more in.

I tried watching your livestream a while back, but I think it was just sitting in lobby. Got any screenshots hidden away?

I have tons of screenies but all they'd show is just my forge prowess and they wouldn't be representative of anything near completion.

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

It's too bad this game is too dead for anyone to ever see your work.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Is there a specific time you should be done goat? Or are you not sure yet?
I'm getting sick of playing on Boneyard/Spire.

Look at the thread creation date.

He started a month before that.

He was thinking about this maps months before ever posting about it.

It's still not done. I posted a long time back that it would probably come out after Halo 4.

This seems to be holding true.

Well you saw how difficult it was to build one when I was streaming. Every saturday I test Invasion maps and we still haven't really seen maps that are of Boneyard/Breakpoint caliber. It's very difficult to build Invasion.

I'm waiting to see what 343 does. If Invasion is in Halo 4 I'll wait to build for that. If they announce support for Invasion in Reach i'll build for Reach. Otherwise what's the point in my building the map if 343 wont put Invasion maps in MM? Nobody is going to be doing Reach customs for much longer.

Have faith in me

This would be a pretty good idea for Spartan Ops on Halo 4. Especially about the bomb one with the ODSTs.

No Elites in Multiplayer.

No word on playing as some member of the new guys.

New guys do come with their own weapon flavoring for the sandbox though.

Who knows for now I'll call it a no on Invasion in Halo 4 though.

Couldn't care less about Elites since bungie made them suck after the Beta. I'd prefer Spartan vs Spartan Invasion since it'd be much easier to balance.

You're going to have to settle for Spartan vs. New guys if anything.

Truth.. Just checked into the thread. Idk, it's probably best to wait for H4.

It was to my understanding that Halo 4 would not have Invasion.
