You forgot think that Falcon, rockets, an laser against Banshee and Plasma Launcher is balanced.


Spire is a really bad map to be honest. First phase is brutal for Spartans if you know how to set up. Last phases are brutal for Elites.

If you look at gyarados' invasion thread. Spawn posted a wall that gives perfect directions on what to do for the two common Invasion maps.

If the Spartans can control Bravo rock, the first phase becomes easy for them.

I tried playing Invasion the other day.

As a random.

Vanilla Reach + being a random against a full party = Never again.

Most randoms don't know how to get up there.

I lol when I do the jump-up in the back, and my spawn partner gives up after trying several times.

the bigass rock on the left side of the map (from spartan perspective) the other big ass rocks on the right side are usually called alpha rock/perch

A lot of the rocks require you to repeatedly tap A (default) and jump multiple times while climbing it to get up there, like the one by Bravo generator

Still, Reach jump-ups in general are cake when compared to those from Halo:CE. I don't know why they lowered wall between OS and Rockets on Damnation, because I recall needing a grenade to get over; it can't be that hard to grenade jump while invincible. Also, it seems too easy to get on top of the bases on Battle Creek now. I remember the hours I practiced to perfect the jump-ups in Halo:CE. I guess they wanted to make the maps accessible to everyone. How many aspects of Halo were simplified in Reach?

Its not the beaver creek of hale CE. It's the battle creek of halo 2. Which had those easier jump ups.

How many times do I have to tell you that?

This is coming from someone who played Halo PC during the glory days of Halo 2 and 3.
Beaver Creek is a remake of Battle Creek, so I will always see that map as Battle Creek.

Doesn't change the fact that it is a remake of the remake from Halo 2 which had easier jumps.

Why would anybody make a remake of a remake, instead of the original? Peter Jackson didn't remake this film, he remade that one.

Now, let us not derail Goat's thread further. Post something on topic!

HWM maps are horrible. I doubt they really know anything that would be beneficial to making Invasion more enjoyable.

They know how to play Invasion but they're lacking support from good forgers. The only good forgers I know who play with them are Black Knight (trident, renegade, synapse) and Oakley HiDef.

I've offered my services in return for helping to develop my own maps. Hopefully this forerunner invasion map I got going on works out.

Well then I guess we will see what this group makes.

  • 01.30.2012 11:09 AM PDT

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

how about this

DONT PLAY IT

seriously though, Invasion is not a very fun playlist. Each game is essentially the same thing.

One could argue that every game is essentially the same thing. I know on Valhalla and Rat's Nest I got bored of always rushing laser and rockets. Once people know how to play it all boils down to a routine. However, I can at least agree that Invasion is slightly more monotonous than the other playlists, and that's mainly because it only has 2 maps that have been played to death.

yeah the problem is AFK's and mic-less randoms, it would be a great playlist if you could get some tactical team work going. I liked the post OP

Then you end up like this guy who thinks he's good because he plays Invasion with a party of spawn killers. They only care about K/D, which is why they get steamrolled by a bunch of H3 majors. Wow I used to play against gravity before he whored full partys. Hes not that bad, but definately doesn't deserve a 5.8 k/d..

A K/D that large is ridiculous.
