Chiroptera(INVASION)

Hey guys I am here to post a map adoption for an Invasion map. I don't have Reach yet and probably will not get it until november or december, so I want someone really really good at forging to make this. I will, however, rent the game this weekend and will connect every nightSomeone extremely detail-oriented like me that makes maps with some very good aesthetics and well-placed weapons, objectives, etc. The name is based off a ship that appears in Halo: First Strike that has slipspace even though it is a singleship(kina like the Longsword). This map is very ambitious and there has to be a BALANCE of aesthetics and playability, which will use up all the budget available.

The backstory: A new ONI prototype with cloaking and slipspace capabilities, the Chiroptera, has been stolen by the Covenant in a classified expedition to Installation 06. However, humans place a tracker on the CCS battlecruiser just before it destroys the ONI base. The UNSC track the cruiser to a remote location in the Halo and plan an offensive to take the prototype ship back. A special team of Spartans is tasked to recover the ship and take it back to a safe spot from where it can be defended and later transported to a UNSC controlled area. The spartans will first have to infiltrate a small Covy Communications array and deactivate it, which will cut the Elites off from any help. Then, they will have to plant a bomb in the engines or in the groundside Gravity Lift of the CCS battlecruiser that will cripple the ship so it can't escape(either by not having engines or by not having important crew members onboard). Only after the engines have been disabled will the Spartans be able to board the cruiser through a huge hole where the engines had been and fly the Chiroptera vessel out of the hangar long enough to secure a victory.

Here's a rundown of the map:



1ST PHASE

LOADOUTS:

• HUMANS
  • Infiltrator(1 min. Camouflage AA, pistol, 3 frags.)
• ELITES
  • Guard(Evade AA, concussion rifle, plasma pistol, 1 plasma grenade)

Both Elites and Spartans spawn on the pocket, where there is a Covy communications array(use Covy objects and scenery as much as you can here for the structure) and through either of 2 places, they must hack the COM. Elites win here if the humans don't hack the COM in under 3 mins.

2ND PHASE:

LOADOUTS:

• HUMANS
  • Infiltrator
  • Technician(Infinite Jetpack AA, grenade launcher with lots of ammo, pistol, no frags)
  • Medic(Drop Shield AA, DMR, 2 of each grenade)
• ELITES
  • Guard
  • Officer(Armor Lock AA, Needle Rifle, Plasma Pistol, 2 stickies)
  • Ranger(Jetpack AA, concussion rifle, 2 stickies)

The second phase will start off with 2 banshees spawning on the pocket area, in the spartan side. For those banshee-less, there will be 2 teleporters on the COM array, one on each side of the array, that lead to teleporters in the Covy camp in the island by the cruiser. For Elites who are dead, they can respawn inside the cruiser, which has weapons and 2 more banshees in the hangar, and a missile launcher warthog and a Gauss warthog(not drivable, to simulate cannons). The hangar has a 1 way shield door so no Human can pass through. In the small Covy camp, there are 2 small bases (one covy, one human) with 2 ghosts, 2 warthogs, a revenant, and weapons(needle rifle, plasma pistol, DMR, sniper, focus rifle, and a plasma launcher) scattered throughout both bases. Spartans can either fly and plant a bomb right above the engines(crippling them), or they can choose to plant it in the groundside gravity lift(getting Covy forces stuck in land) so the cruiser can't escape. Elites win if bomb is not planted within 4 minutes.

3RD PHASE

LOADOUTS:

• HUMANS
  • Infiltrator
  • Technician
  • Medic
  • Marksman(Armor Lock AA, DMR, AR, 1 frag)
  • Specialist(Sprint AA, shotgun, pistol, 2 frags)
• ELITES
  • Guard
  • Officer
  • Ranger
  • Zealot(Evade AA, Energy Sword, plasma pistol, 2 stickies)
  • Ship Master(Armor Lock, Concussion Rifle, Plasma Rifle, 2 stickies)

The final phase has humans entering the ship through a hole where the engines used to be(engines despawn, and debris spawns), and set out to capture the Chiroptera(a falcon) and drive it out of the hangar for 20 seconds to win(the falcon is the objective). The falcon is inaccesible in earlier phases because Elites won't be able to get in the falcon , as they are taller and there is a small passageway that only Spartans can crouch through, but Elites can't. Here is how it will be:


Remember this is how the cruiser looks like:

Try to make the ship's bridge, the weapons area, and the hangar. For pictures of the exterior and the interior of the ship, go here:

I know it is very ambitious, but I will give whoever wants to do it whatever time they need. The credit for making it will ultimately be yours, but please mention me as the one who had the idea if you ever post it.

Thanks, guys.

EDIT: I have Reach now since December... anyone still want to do this as a co-forge, you are welcome to join.

 

Like I said, I don't have REACH!! I won't be getting it until December, probably Christmas. If I had it right now, I would most obviously do it all by myself, and that way I don't risk people screwing it up by putting it for map adoption, but I DO NOT HAVE THE GAME, so I need someone to do it for me. If no one wants to, then I'll do it when I get the game.

 

I am not entirely sure of who does want to take on this project or not, so, send me a PM to confirm that you want to make this map and ask everything you want to ask regarding it because I know it is very, very ambitious and very hard to do as well.
