Hey guys and welcome to my very first map post here on forgehub. This map was made by myself and my friend Heerz, most of the technical forging stuff and design was by him, so give him the credit for this, as i am new to forging and pretty terrible. Now onto the post, for those who don't like to read and just want to see pictures please skip this next paragraph and move straight on to the spoiler links. During the invasion of Reach a small team of specialists in the Covenant have made camp on an isolated island just off the coast of the UNSC communications Headquarters. They plan to fight their way past the fortified base and seize control of the HQ thereby isolating the Spartans and Marines from any orders/Intel from command. In order to do this they must first infiltrate the outer gate, no easy task as a small spartan force is camped on the nearby mountain. Elites must first plant a bomb inside the large gates generator that powers the force field and move inside into the canyon. Inside, the Elites must then destroy the inner gate by either capturing the conference room, based on the nearby hill or capture the gates control tower. In phase 3 they must then steal the power core that makes the large satellite on the Headquarters function, without this the communications to Spartans are inoperable. Loadouts: spartan: phase 1- Assault rifle, pistol, 2 grenades and Sprint. phase 2- DMR, Assault Rifle, 2 grenades and Sprint Assault rifle, pistol, 2 grenades and Hologram phase 3- Shotgun. pistol, 2 grenades and Armour Lock DMR, Assault rifle, 2 grenades and Drop shield.

This concludes the post, i would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully download and have a good luck at the map. personally i think it is an awesome map for invasion and the many times we have ran customs on this with a full lobby everyone has had a good laugh and enjoyed themselves, its a good break from "spire" and "boneyard" too. I'd also like to thank Heerz for the amazingly large amount of work he put into this and i encourage you to go check out his fileshare and view his cops and robbers prison map which i think is probably the best cops and robbers map so far on reach that i have seen. Thanks. Extra screenshots: Spoiler Please, Before you review about gameplay.....
thank you very much. i was never a big forger in halo 3, in fact i never made a single map so keep that in mind however i do think that i will be making a lot more maps from now as i had loads of fun making this with my friend thanks
Thats good to hear, myself, on Halo 3, I was a really good forger, the only problem was, they didn't play very well, oh well that the past, here is a new forging system, I know this sounds retarded but, I hope they bring back foundry.
agreed, made a few minor updates to the map including longer spawns on the vehicles so they dont dominate gameplay
Thread titles are required to contain the map name only. I will fix your title this time, but please remember this for the future.
Dude, I made a map nearly just like this, cept it ends in the phase 2 area, and the Elites spawn in an artificial forged cave. Maaaaan. Now to the review, lol. I like it! The shade seems to be a little over kill tho. Thats all I have to say really. 8.9/10 EDIT: The map should be up this afternoon, look for it please, it will be called Caveside.
