    I took a lot of pleasure in making this map, so I hope you guys will love playing it. I have to give creds to both "ThrowinDemBows" and "MetalForgere" for the crane design and the idea of using images to play out my map. As for my comments,

    I have to say that Phase One requires the most teamwork out of all the of the Phases, the base are spread out a little, so if the entire defending team transfers to one side, they leave the other base vulnerable.

    Phase Two is basically the same as Phase One, just a tid bit less spread out. The satellite is a two story objective, so defenders and attackers can use the territory from the inside of the base and the outside.

    Phase Three is a lot more close range, and usually when I tested this map, there were a couple of idiots who didn't understand where to run towards with the bomb. Guys, please be aware of your surroundings on Phase Three and don't be like this one idiot who ran the bomb in the opposite direction of the gate. In addition to this, run the bomb AWAY from the spartans. Hint: The right side of the map; where the gate is. :herp:

    To sum it all people, don't complain that this isn't a REAL Jurassic Park experience. No seriously, some one asked me if the dinosaurs could have no weapons, and that they had to pick them up off of dead spartan bodies. :facepalm:

    EDIT: Final phase has been tweaked, it's good to go!
    EDIT: New kill boundaries, no breaking this map!
    EDIT: Changed the second phase, redownload! 7/14

    Wow Im glad you got this up :), I did think it was fun but at the 3rd phase, wow was it hard for the elites! The spartans owned that. I really like how you made is say DINOSORE very creative!

    Hm. I'm liking your concept, and I'm certainly curious. Are the elites restricted to melee weapons and sprint/evade, like real raptors?

    No that would be completely ridiculous and really would affect the natural style of Invasion.

    This simple idea has really blossomed into a great map! I was really doubtful at first about the idea, but you got it together and came up with some great ideas. This map is both original and fun to play.

    My rating: 8.5/10

    Them.. being elites. And being in a fenced area. It's mostly just your imagination, really.

    Haha I loved testing and playing this invasion map. Jurassic park was really brilliant and creative. I hope you added more cover to the area by the crane and satellite, because it was easy to pick guys off. The fence was a great idea and the crane and satellite put the map together well. Great work man.

    Nice map dude. The last phase gets really tense. The crane is rather dull looking though. I rate it a 4 out of 5.

    I liked it when i played it about 2 hours ago.. i hope you fixed that last bomb plant problem. Also, I didn't once see that fence! Weird. I think you should have made the fence more in the gameplay and maybe a research facility for the dinos.. but it was fun nonetheless.

    Thanks for the feedback, Eightball! I really need the comments. ;D


    Yeah, the crane is from ThrowinDemBows, I just used it to conserve moneys.

    Yeah, the fence is just there for the lulz and Jurassic Park references. And yeah, the bomb plant has been shortened and the spartan spawns are moved so no worries. ;D​

    What do you mean by DINOSORE? And you spelled it wrong.

    Anyways, thanks for the comments.

    This was a very interesting take on the invasion gametype. I randomly was invited to test this map a day before you posted it, and it was a enjoyable experience. The reason I say that it is an interesting take on invasion, is because it was very hectic. Most invasion maps I have played the attackers tend to cover a good bit of ground before getting to their objective, this is not the case in this map. To me, it seemed that the spawns were pretty close to the objectives making it a very hectic environment to play in. I really liked this aspect in many ways, but I'm not sure if I am sold on it or not. Either way, a sold map with interesting game play. I would say the thing that was most frustrating was when one of my teammates took the bomb and ran down the ramp in the wrong direction lol.

    Oh yeah, I remember that -blam!- retard. But hey thanks for the feedback, many people say it's kinda CQC and I agree with that. But even if it's different, it still works, right?

    Yeah this is probably one of my first forges that I actually took seriously. I hope I can dish out some more awesome things in the future for you guys.

    This was a humorus and ellaborate idea for Invasion. The gameplay is very enjoyable, and I thought it was one of the best Invasion maps out there.

    Thanks for the feedback, Zenix!

    Thanks to Oli the G, probably one of the best map breakers around, I found some spots I had to patch.

    Thanks, Oli!

    Yeah, I kinda expected that sort of feed back from you Ninja. But it was farfetched in the beginning. I'd say it's pretty solid as of now.

    Made some updates to the aesthetics thanks to NinjadelaNoches.

    I might see if I can get this map FHF'd

    The changes you made to the map improved the gameplay greatly! It's now very balanced and adds to the great experience of the map, this map has truly reached it's full potential!
