    Invasion

    Invasion! The Brittish are coming! the Brittish are coming! No, not really, but its kinda the same. Invasion is all about defending the home base, or attacking it, depending on who you are. An orbital ship has entered the area, and has already touched down on the other side of the valley. Here comes the heat...

    Here are some pics:

    Mini Pelicans!!
    A system I came up with to get the troops from the ship to the ground.

    Comes with a drop-down warthog
    (shoot the coil. may take more than once.)

    Fire-Base
    [​IMG]
    Center-Area
    (may be good for a mid-battle or two)
    [​IMG]
    May find a few jumps here and there
    Broken Bridge
    (hint hint)
    [​IMG]
    Misc. sniper tower-things
    [​IMG]
    As you can see, there is a big gap to travel and fight

    Introducing...
    the MAC Cannon

    And dont worry there is plenty of cover from the mac cannon.
    It adds a war-like feeling to it.
    Best played with 100,000 people.
    (haha)

    "The Mini-Pelicans were just not as big or detailed as people have made them before so I just called them mini. How they work is there are teleporters inside of them and when u walk into them you can go back and fourth between the ground and the ship its pretty cool. I had a couple other ideas but this one was less complicated for people.

    I used merging where it counted the most, like in the ship. But thats about it. Its more of an example map so somebody thats super good at this stuff could make a V2 with this idea.

    And no the wraith cant just zoom out. Being on the tin cup, it stays in place for the most part. Unless you really wanted to die which wouldn't make any sense, then you could probably boost a buncha times and get off."






    OH YEAH BTW: I WAS GOING TO ADD TANKS BUT THIS DUMB KID DELETED ONE, AND ITS A BUDGET GLITCHED MAP :(





    The only problem is I seem to have misplaced my pics of the Defenders base (although you can get a few little glimpses within other pics), aaaaannd the pics seem to be a little small :/ oops. Anyways, hope you like it. I know this coulda been done WAAAY better, but thats exactly the point. Who wants to create a brand new, totally awesome, V2??? plz?

    Well this looks like a fine idea. Nothing amazing aesthetics wise but good idea. I like the theme and everything. You should add more aesthetics in the middle, make the bridge look more broken downish. I would also make the attackers base have only covenant vehicles, you have all usmc vehicles.

    Thx for the support, and yeah i know. As for the covanent thing, I mostly thought of it as a Halo Wars thing, with two teams of UNSC, but mostly cause I like UNSC vehicles better :D

    If I'm seeing things right, it looks like you used little to no merging.
    And can the wraith move about, cos it looks like you can boost it out of the niche its in?

    I love the concept of the wraiths shooting from the sky, I'm sure having plasma balls raining down makes the game really fun. I'm going to put that in one of my maps one day I think lol. Cool map, I will probably download it.

    Well, I like the map pretty much. The aestetics are not verry goed or something, but the idea is fun. I maybe would make a V2, but 1. I'm also not thát good at forging, and 2. I'm making something else right now. The MAC cannon idea is pretty sweet, too.

    Actually there is a way to get the scorpions back. At the start of the game, before instaspawning/touching anything, find scorpions in the pallet and you should be able to re-budget glich them by putting the run time max up 1 above the current # u have on the map. I think you can do that with any infinate budget canvas but then again im not 100% sure.
