Access

Hi there!

I'm new to Forgehub and this is my very first Halo: Reach map. It's an Invasion map called Access, and in it, the Spartans have to take over a beach, assault a cavern, and capture a data core from the Covenant.

----------------------------------------------------

PHASE 1 - TERRITORIES

The Spartans start at an Island Area, and have to make their way to the Covenant controlled Beach. Here, they have to take over either Alpha och Bravo Generator to shut down the power to an enormous gate protecting the Covanent controlled cavern. The Elites spawn inside this cavern, and can easly leave it either through the gate itself or a teleporter that takes them to the cliffs.

Playing field (Phase 1): Island (Spartans) + Beach + Cavern (Elites)

New vehicles and weapons (Phase 2):
1x Focus Rifle (Elites)
1x Shade Turret (Elites)
2x Mongoose (Spartans)
Default Loadouts unlocked

----------------------------------------------------

PHASE 2 - ASSAULT

The Spartans can now spawn on the beach, and have to carry a bomb through the still Covenant controlled cavern and plant it at the far end. That side of the cavern is blocked by a wall of stones, and only the Spartans' bomb can make a hole big enough for vehicles to pass. The Elites spawn on the other side of the stone wall, and can enter the cavern once more through another teleporter.

Playing field (Phase 2): Island (Spartans) + Beach (Spartans) + Cavern (Elites) + Canyon (Elites)

New vehicles and weapons (Phase 2):
1x Sniper Rifle (Spartans)
1x Human Turret (Spartans)
2x Plasma Turret (Elites)
Default Loadouts unlocked

----------------------------------------------------

PHASE 3 - CAPTURE THE CORE

With the stone wall destroyed, the Spartans can push through to the Covenant controlled Canyon. The Spartans now have access to a Rocket Hog and a Falcon, but the Elites counter with a Revenant and a Banshee. If the Spartans can steal the Core from the Elites' base and take it to the extraction zone, they win.

Playing field (Phase 3): Island (Spartans) + Beach (Spartans) + Cavern (Spartans) + Canyon (Elites)

New vehicles and weapons (Phase 2):
1x Rocket Hog (Spartans)
1x Falcon (Spartans)
1x Rocket Launcher (Spartans)
1x Revenant (Elites)
1x Banshee (Elites)
1x Fuel Rod Gun (Elites)
1x Plasma Turret (Elites)
Default Loadouts unlocked

----------------------------------------------------



These pictures are from Access v.1. Since then, Access v.3 has been release and the following features have been added:

• Phase 3 Wraith replaced with Revenant
• Spartans have more cover on the beach during Phase 1
• Spawns have been fixed for both races
• Respawn timers for weapons and vehicles have been adjusted
• Soft Kill Zones have been added to multiple areas, including the top of the cavern to avoid JetPack campers

Features that are being worked on for Access v.4:

• Balancing issues (Please come with feedback!)
• Support for Invasion Slayer

----------------------------------------------------

Thank you all for your time and I hope you'll enjoy your time on Access, would you give it a try. Those of you who do play the map, please return to this thread and give me feedback regarding the balance of the three phases.
