This is it, Spartans.
Thanks to intercepted transmissions, we've discovered a Covenant facility, code-named "Sword Beach", on a Forerunner installation. The excavation data contained within has highly valuable information, and the task is up to you and your squad to get it. The data core's retrieval could potentially win the war for us. The following is our battle plan.


Phase One
Punch a hole in the Covenant defenses.
Our remote-controlled landing craft will make landfall on Sword Beach. When the ramp lowers, your task is to make it through Covenant turret emplacement and sniper fire. Then you can reload and recover under the glass covers, which have weapons and health packs placed under them. The next task is to take the bomb and arm it on the cliff wall to punch a hole in the Elite defenses and gain entrance into the facility. The landing craft do carry weapons in their rear compartment, so use them wisely. A machinegun Warthog will be delivered in one of the LC.


Phase Two
Delve into the facility, search for the core.
After the bomb is planted, the next task is to hack into one of two control rooms and disable the facility's security systems. Reconnaissance photos from spy planes have no visible hint of where the core is, indicating that there is more to the research labs than initially expected. A rocket Warthog will be placed for for your disposal.


Phase Three
Storm the complex, retrieve the Package.
Recent scans show a hidden area concealed under the main labs. There is not enough sufficient intel on what is inside or how to counter it, so all available vehicles, equipment, and weapons in the immediate vicinity will be transferred to your control. Clear out this secret complex, retrieve the data Package, and take it to the awaiting landing craft for extraction. Once this is done, orbital assets will mop up all the rest.


The following is a list of munitions and equipment that will be delivered to you as the fight progresses in each phase. Use them to your tactical advantage and turn the tide of the battle in our favor.
In Phase One, your team starts with:
M6G Magnum (1x)
MA37 Assault Rifle (4x)
M392 Designated Marksman Rifle (2x)
SRS99 Sniper Rifle (1x)
M45 Shotgun (1x)
M319 Grenade Launcher (1x)
M41 Rocket Launcher (1x)
M12 Warthog [machine gun variant] (1x)

In Phase Two, HQ will deliver the following:
M392 Designated Marksman Rifle (1x)
SRS99 Sniper Rifle (1x)
M45 Shotgun (1x)
M319 Grenade Launcher (1x)
M41 Rocket Launcher (1x)
M6 Spartan Laser (1x)
M12A1 Warthog [missile launcher variant] (1x)

In Phase Three, reinforcements include:
M392 Designated Marksman Rifle (2x)
SRS99 Sniper Rifle (1x)
M45 Shotgun (1x)
M319 Grenade Launcher (1x)
M41 Rocket Launcher (2x)
M6 Spartan Laser (2x)
M12G1 Warthog [Gauss cannon variant] (1x)
M808B Scorpion (1x)
UH-144 Falcon (1x)

Intercepted Covenant transmissions indicate that captured UNSC Army troopers have been experimented on within the facility. The results of these experiments, a powered combat suit suspended in a sustained magnetic field, is apparently safeguarded in a locked room in the warehouse at the northeast corner of the research labs. If possible during the operation, find a way into the classified area and field test the suit so our technicians can fully determine the extent of its abilities and devise a suitable counterpart.

Good luck, Spartans. Holland out.

Note: the original map was created by Kangetsu, I simply altered it and created a gametype for it. So please, direct your comments, praise and criticism to them. Also, this is my first map with actual gameplay, aside from the random weapon box, so if it's not perfect or is flawed, then you know why. Finally, in order to get to the suit mentioned earlier, you need Sprint or Evade, as well a way to get out the map.

 

This is probably something that'll be criticized, but every single weapon and vehicle (except Mongooses and the golf club) is in the map. It's kind of an all-out assault on the citadel. And happy holidays to you as well.

 

The Scorpion, Falcon, Gauss 'Hog and all Covenant vehicles only spawn on the third phase, so that's when it gets pretty hectic. Spartan Lasers, Plasma Launchers and other power weapons also appear in the third phase, scattered evenly around the map to ensure that everything is balanced.

 

Message me if you have any ideas/suggestions for more Invasion maps, I'd be more than happy for a reason to start Forging.

 

Fixed, a list has been posted. Yes, you can play BTB on the map, it's already compatible with Team Slayer and Big Team Slayer.
