Map:Forerunner Transaction
Gametype:Invasion: Transaction


Spartans have finally made it to the beach on this once thought deserted island. Surrounded by Forerunner artifacts, this secluded area is a goldmine for the Covenant. A Corvette looms off in the distance, hovering over what seems to be a giant satellite. But for the Spartans to get there, they’ll need to fight their way through waves of Elites.​

​

The Spartans walk slowly through a cave in the side of the mountain near the beach; they’ve noticed the Covenant barricades set up and plasma turrets mounted on the rocks. They realize they are up against a serious enemy and grab supplies from the left behind weapons. The Spartans exit the cave and find themselves in a canyon where they find an Elite squad waiting for them. The canyon has what looks like cranes and conveyor belts for a shipping yard, but is now being used for sniper-like perches for the Elites. The Spartans have to locate the two control centers to breach through to the next section.​

…
Now they’ve made it to the second phase of the objective, but something unexpected happens. Around the canyon the Spartans spot a Covenant Scarab! With the Corvette at an uncomfortably close distance now, the Spartans know this will be one hellish fight. They notice something has been dropped off for them in aiding their situation…a bomb with numerous supplies on top of a ridge. The only problem though is that the Scarab is standing right in the path to the bomb. The Scarab is not active and rests in its dormant stage, but the Spartans cannot take any chances. They must take the bomb and find the Scarabs weak spot to permanently immobilize it.​

…
After the Scarab has been destroyed, the Spartans realize what the Elites where trying to hide. In the neck-like structure in the Scarab lies a core containing information that means the humans victory in this war. The only way to transmit the data to the Frigate waiting above the atmosphere is to connect the core to one of the four digital transmitters on the corners of the island. The transmitter is in sights but the Spartans will have to face there toughest battle yet to get the core there.


Forerunner Transaction is an Invasion map that I hope brings a story to you when you play it. It consists of three different types of phases to keep you strategizing for the next phase. There are moments where you need to just charge forth as fast as you can without any intention to what you are doing, and there are times you need to actually stop shooting and think of a way to get around a certain obstacle.


The Three Phases:

1. Territories-capture 1 of 2 territories in the 1st phase.....5 minutes
2. Assault-plant the bomb in the scarab..........................5 minutes
3. CTF-deliver the core to beach on other side of map.....10 minutes
