Subject: New Invasion Map Idea!

I had a nice (opinion) idea for a fun Invasion map to make in Forge. Just to let you know, this is still in the planning stage. So, here I go. Now! NOW! Ok now.

Alright, this map is basicly, kind of like a Invasion map. I mean it. So basicly human are heading towards an Elite base located in the canyon, but their Pelican is shot down by a Covenant Spirit. It crash lands on a cliff, just hanging there.

Here is the start of the map:
Phase 1:
Humans:
Humans start in the crashed pelican. They have to jump down
(Don't worry, you'll survive;) from the pelican. You have to
move towards the little cave by the water, on the island.
There will be a door blocking your way, so there will be a
territory to take over to simulate pushing buttons and open
the door.
Elites:
Elites get a good look at the pelican and the humans
jumping off, although they will be out of range of shooting.
They basicly defend inside a small elite camp. What's more
to say?
Phase 2:
Humans:
After the open the door they find a sweet little find. A few
pelicans (not really) came in, and gave you a couple of
warthogs and weapons. You then head towards the canyon and
Find another elite camp in front of another door, so yeah,
another territory phase. So you open the door and move on.
Elites:
So again, basicly just more fire power, and a ghost. Same
thing as last time. Not really much for the elites. Until
phase 3.
Phase 3:
Humans:
Humans have finally regrouped with the rest of the team.
(Well kind of.) Thier next objective, destroy a elite type
thingy with a bomb. Probrably set it up for 45-60
seconds. So the base has a sniper tower, like the ones in
campaign. They also have a sweet looking round spot with a
nice center piece. It also has turrets on it. So yeah, back
to the humans. Never mind already talked about the bomb.
That's pretty much it.
Elites:
Defend the site, fight for your life. Probrably the
most epic part of the map.

So yeah, pretty much it, oh yeah forgot to tell you. There is also a bunch of eister ehgs. Hidden stuff, Secret hidden passageways. Also another thing, I was watching Fear Factor while writing this. They were eating bugs. I think I'm going to throw up. Please feel free to comment.

Hearts and Kisses,
mr wafflez

Tempest seems like a good canvas for this idea. It has a crashed ship and caves.

I belive the cave near the the ship is too close, and the cave farther away, is too far. I might have the map all set up in my head already. But still, I'll keep that in mind.

It looks better in your head than it does on paper.

343i doesn't care for invasion. they won't make any new maps for it. waste of their time and resources

343i is a waste in general.

How did an Invasion map thread turn into a -blam- 343i thread?

actually, this sounds like that halo 3 mission where in the desert part of the ring. look forward to try it out. btw on my invasion map, i made a Vulture from halo wars . looking at that can give you some ideas.

Never really played Wars. But I'll see what comes out after I make the crash landing. Oh, did I say that the Pelican hangs on the cliff.

I thought I mentiond that.

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

Honestly, the map sounds a bit... dull (minus the pelican). Of course, it may just sound worse on paper.

I meant that you jump from a crashed pelican. Of course the humans will recieve some fall damage from the fall. So I put the Elite spawn farther away, so the humans have enough time to regenerate health. There will still be combat during the first phase since the first objective is inside the elite camp.

Don't worry, It'll be alot better during gameplay.
