V0.95 RO.152.RS This is my new map, RO.152.RS Reach Outpost 152 Reconnaissance Station which goes with RO.153.WDB (Weapons Deployment Base upload soon) another invasion map. The map unlike the other one starts with the elites attacking to take control of the station via territories for the first objective, assault for the second, and CTC (capture the core) for the third. This is the first shot the elites see when they spawn... This is the first part of the map with territories as it's objectives. One of the capture territories The bridge they have to take the bomb across! The exploding gate The base where they get the core and the back ledge where they take it. The core is located on the tower to the right. on the base. I have tested this map out and worked on it for a total of 12hr all up. This map has perfect sequence spawning ie. you cannot spawn in the same place after capturing the objective which is exactly the spawn type that bungie uses in their invasion maps. The gate alone took me 4 hr. to work out and make and is the beta testers favourite part. The satellite tower is purely for decoration although you can go in it. The map is located on forge world on the 2 plateaus that border the map Hemorrhage. After beta I will make this map available to download. 99% Complete - Map structure is done as well as spawning all to Bungie standards (I asked the team) FINAL PHASE TESTING Comments & Questions below: Ps. I am making a birds eye view of the map which I will upload shortly. I need is 8 people to help test the map out preferably in Australia, a date and time will be arranged.

Arghh! This annoys me, I'm working ona an invasion map similar to this, but there are some rmoe surprises along the way Hoping to add a map preview tomorrow. As for this map, it looks awesome! I like how the bridge gets "destroyed" by the spawn sequences
no tut yet It's very hard to explain over this just a lot of phasing and a lot of sequencing. I would post a video Tut but I don't have a capture card PS. free to help on objective based forge map if needed ei. assault, CTF, invasion, and SWAT (I like tactics). And I'd like to hear more on your map. Noob Squad
It seems everyone is learning spawns, phases and gates etc the hard trial and error way. The best guide is the official one at the moment and although it doesn't go into as much detail as I'd prefer, it's the best we have. Bungie.net : Invasion + Forge! : 9/16/2010 9:09 AM PDT Anyway, as for the map. It looks very interesting. I can't say the whole idea is particularly original but originality is not something that I'm too fussed about. Invasion is a difficult gamemode to balance, requiring constant testing and adjustments. From what I see here, you put a lot of effort into this and I think it shows. The features you've implemented go beyond the usual mappers efforts and should make gameplay more interesting and most importantly, fun. I'd be willing to test this with you so you can get it to the best it can be before release. When making my Frigate map, I wish I had more people I could call on to try Invasion testing so I hope I can help you instead. I'm not in Australia, but I play quite often and pretty much only do Customs now anyway so I'm often free. Well done.
I've started another project this one will be up for DL shortly after beta testing with Sikph. Just another map to add to the Reach Outpost series, even though its on halo.
testing help Hey, Everyone If you are interested in testing your maps I am making a group on Bnet to Help people test there maps. The link is Bungie.net : Forge Testers : Group Home Thanks
