I wanted to attempt to make an invasion map on one of the non-Invasion, default maps. So I did. Here is Invasion on Boardwalk (aka, Cityscape). Spartans attack, starting off with taking one of two territories.. And when that is done, they grab a bomb.. Then proceed to blow up one of two locations.. They'll then make off with the core, and return it to their base. It is on my fileshare (Teh Krush LS) if anybody wants to try out the early version, but I'll test it before posting it officially.
A really interesting idea. I thought of doing the same with Zealot but ended up abandoning it. I assume the loadouts will have to be scaled down due to the size of Boardwalk.
The loadouts, right now, are exactly the same except that Elites don't have invis in phase 1. But they will be edited later.
I like the concept. Most of my time on Reach is spent on my own maps or ranking up in Matchmaking, but this is one I'd be interested in trying out.
Kudos for using a non-forgeworld map. I had high hopes for forging on the other maps, but because of the limited objects, I've really hit a roadblock. Can you provide a download link, because I'm curious as to how you linearized the map so it works for invasion.
Wow. That is really nice. And it's a great step in the pioneering of making Maps not on Forge World. I saw BroBot and JunkBot but this is even better. Congratulations on your map. Absolute DL.
The multiple routes of Boardwalk are actually why it makes a good Invasion map. I haven't blocked off any routes, but where I placed the objectives make it flow great anyway. Here's a download link though.
i likey, i likey. it is a first for me to see a forged invasion map not on forge world. the map does seem very fuctional because of boardwalk's core layout. this is a prime example of using a maps basic geometry to make insane maps
I Downloaded it and i am currently working on a (in my opinion) better version. Once i get it finished i will upload it to my File Share. Changes include: Some parts of the map are closed off to prevent camping. Weapon spawn places changed. The Territory Objectives are phased trough a Covenant Crate so it resembles a Generator. Vehicles added. Spawn times changed. Cover added and removed. A few Phased and Gated objects. Each team gets Grenades spawning in their base. Spartan Base built to also be able to defend in case Elites want to camp in their base and spawnkill. More Scenery added. Addittional ways to get to the battlefield(Vehicles and a Man Cannon). Each team gets an Ammo Cache(Phased 1 second respawning Weapons with 5 Clips. You are not suppossed to pick it up, only pass by to get some ammo). EDIT: My GT is oscarvdhooft. Maybe i could help testing? 2nd EDIT: Are you up to the task to make an Invasion Map on Countdown? Just call it Invasion: Launch Station where Elites try to attack the Launch Station.
how do you get the bomb to spawn for invasion gametypes? I keep placing the capture plates but they just end up being hill markers when I go in to test them out. ??

Add me: Teh Krush LS I updated the map yesterday. Didn't upload it though. So you updated the old version lol.
I looked at it and didn't like it very much. But I added vehicles and more cover to the defending base on mine though, and moved some weapons/cover around on the Elite side. Clip of first test. (link) Conclusion: Give Spartans a second class in Phase 1. Maybe with Armor Lock/Hologram/Active Camo. Take away Elites second class in Phase 1. Nerf Elites Concussion Rifle class in Phase 3. Make Ghost spawn in Phase 3. I meant to do that, but forgot I guess. Move Phase 2 bomb spawn to the Spartan balcony, rather then inside the Spartan base. Move Elites Initial spawns back slightly, so it takes longer for them to get to the Spartan base if they decide to attempt to spawn camp. Add one or two more spawn locations for Spartans.
I never really liked the canvas map.. But since it's the invasion gametype I know it'll play way differently. I'd like to play it with you some time, invite me whenever you have a party going, I'm ixi dmtgm ixi
I'd like to get together some testers eventually for a second test of the edits.. anybody up for it? I would submit it to the testers guild, but I have another map waiting so meh.
