The first thing I did was create an invasion map. Basically, my idea was to give one team a -blam!-load of banshee's, make them the bomb, and have them drive into specific parts of a spaceship I made. So a Kamikaze gametype.

However, when I was done, I realized it said "This map is not compatible with the game variant" or whatever it says when you are on the Custom Games screen, and whatever isn't compatible with so-and-so...

The thing is, I'm pretty sure I have all I need. I have the Safe Boundaries, Initial Spawns, Objectives and the Bombs to bomb them, Backfield spawns... and I think that's it.

If you know, by any chance, what I am missing, please tell me. I'd like to know that I'm not crazy.

Many thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, you'll need a custom gametype that labels that the rounds are all assault. Also, make sure you have it set up such that there are three rounds; three rounds are required in invasion.

Other than that, I don't have much experience making Invasion maps, and no experience making successful ones.

the gametype you choose when forging can't be basic editing it has to be an invasion gametype for one. That's really all I got sorry.

I did have that. I'm starting to wonder if it is because I tried to have multiple Bombs per phase...

I've never tried that. It may well be the case. I know you can have multiple detonation sites, but I don't know about multiple bombs.

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.

I just tried to set one aside for each phase, and the others are duds and could provide support so the other banshees don't drop like flies. Still getting the same thing.


I know you can set vehicles as the Objective in gametypes like BOOM! Ball and Hog Ball, but I don't know if it applies to Invasion, Assault, etc.

I know vehicles can be set as objectives, but I don't know about using them as a bomb...

I suppose what you could try is making the banshees the same type of objectives as a data core, and making the attack point a dropoff. You could find some mechanical means to simulate the related explosion.

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Give the banshees a custom border of .1 x .1 x .1 x .1. Then make sure the goals also have that. It often fixes your issues.
