Urban Warfare Backstory Spoiler Farnis saw a lot of sand as he looked out of the back of the Pelican."Why were we going to this stupid planet, anyways?! I liked Onyx way better than this!" Farnis yelled to the rest of the squad of Spartan III's. "There's some of those Insurgents here, and they've been killing the locals! In my opinion, it's about time they sent someone here to clean it up!" Farnis's squadmate Jim answered. "I wish they'd have sent Marines or ODSTs to do this, we Spartan III's should be fighting the Covenant!" Farnis replied. "Yeah, but this is the outer colonies, so who's to say that the Covenant won't show up?!" Farnis's other squadmate, Fistle, interrupted. "I know, but I still don't think we should be here." Farnis told them as their Pelican landed on the surface of planet Harloum. The Spartan III's got off, and looked at their surroundings. "Well, this looks boring." Fistle commented as he looked around himself. There were a couple civilians walking around, carrying water to their home from the well, but nothing that looked exciting. "Well, I guess it's time to meet the locals." Farnis said as they walked toward the small town. There was a sign that said, 'Jalous'. As the Spartan III's walked into town, people stared at their robotic-looking armor. "Psst, hey, Jim. Why don't the buildings have roofs?" Fistle whispered to Jim. "How should I know?! Maybe they don't have enough supplies to finish them, I don't know. They could just be lazy for all I know!" Jim whispered back. They walked up to a member of the local peace-keeping militia. "Ah, you must be those soldiers I heard about. Come in here, and I'll give you the details on what we need you to do first." The militia member told them as he motioned for them to follow him. When they got into the house, they saw a couple chairs and a table. "So what do you need us to do?" Jim asked as the Spartans sat down. "Well, first of all, we've gotten reports of a group of Insurgents moving into Jalous from the east, and second of all there's been a lot of activity in the town to the north, Garsan, which we think was captured by the Insurgents as an outpost to gear up at." The militia-member explained. Just before Jim could ask a question, they heard gunfire outside. "Looks like they're here!" Fistle yelled. "Shut up, Fistle! Move out!" Farnis yelled. When they got outside, the got a surprise. It wasn't Insurgents. "Get down!" Farnis ordered them as a Banshee flew by, and bombed the wall of a house. The squad made their way to a nearby gun shop as fast as they could as they saw Elites stabbing Civilians and that sort of stuff. The Spartans grabbed the ammo they saw and took position behind the counter and at the doorway. Farnis peaked outside and saw a Covenant Phantom land nearby. Hello everyone, this is my first map post on FH and the first of 2 (or more) Invasion Slayer maps I will make. This map is made to play with Zow JR's Invasion Slayer gametype, and will be part of the Invasion Slayer map pack. EDIT: Also, if you are Elites be red team and if you are Spartans be green team (and change your characters along with it). And if the Elites are green/Spartans are purple, end game and start again until it is right. --Pictures-- ^Overview ^Covenant base. Phantom was made by Zow JR. 1 Banshee, 1 Ghost, and 1 Prowler spawn there. ^Human base. Pelican made by Zow JR. 1 Mongoose, 1 Warthog and 1 Scorpion spawn there. ^Overview of the middle. You can see the 'foxhole', which has some Forerunner writing that the Covenant want to read so they might get a clue to the location of a Forerunner artifact. ^The foxhole! It is very hard for Spartans to get out of it, so I'd only go in if I were an Elite. --Action shots-- Urban Warfare Invasion Slayer
I have to say testing this map was a blast. It is a worthy feature to the Invasion Slayer Map pack. I hope more maps like this are posted by you fellow forgers and I will post my next one: Reach City Manassas soon. Trust me it's like fort beta 2219 i looks rugged but plays smoothly with no bumps, oh and no spawn campability. Lol it's amazing.
First of all, I agree about the testing. It was great, even though it had a little extra players (4v4 and not 3v3). Second of all, why wasn't I informed of this new map of yours >.<
This map looks like the banshee might pown the **** out of everyone IMO. There is little to no sky cover, and everything looks so open! Finally, thanks to the other 50 or so versions of this i cant say that it is a very unique map anymore Playing this map was HELLA fun, but the banshee did pown and the Tank also did too I think that you should make these vehicles weaker somehow, to avoid causing so many problems within the map because they were almost gamekillers for me.
IMO, the banshee isn't much of a problem. In fact, I'm considering adding a 2nd one because 1 just wasn't enough to kill that tank. I'll be making some small tweaks to it soon and add that extra banshee. The reason that I'm gonna add another banshee is because the Splaser/Rocket took them out quickly anyways and that tank is a little overpowering, so hopefully it will counteract the Scorpion EDIT: Ok, I added the extra Banshee. (Zow, why'd you make all the objects u used to make the dropship have their maximum at 1 higher than the amount placed? We'd have more budget! [but the OLN was attacking me when I was making tweaks anyways ])
This looks pretty cool It's pretty simple besides the pelican and phantom, btw the phantom is the best I've seen.
