This is faithful remake of Helm's Deep from the Lord of the Rings made specifically for invasion. I've tried to make it the most accurate representation so far and it's been modeled directly from the film, however iv'e kept it fun and competitive to play on. It was created with a custom gametype in mind of the same name as the map. The elites are on offense, spartans on defense. Both have custom loadouts where everyone has a sword. Phase 1: The elites must first capture territories either of 2 territories, one on the deeping wall and one one the keep. The elites must use the grave lifts(ladders) to get on top. The elites have a wraith and two revenants to support this phase. The grav lifts are removed after this phase. Phase 2: The elites must plant a bomb at the culvert of the deeping wall. The bomb has a short arming time to defend it from. Once it is detonated a section of the wall is removed in the explosion. The gate and vehicles are also removed after this phase. Phase 3: The elites must capture the flag from the inner part of the keep and return it to the rock pile outside. There should be lots more close quaters fighting in this phase. The spartans have a sniper rifle and rocket launcher in the keep as well as a shotgun by the deeping wall to aid in defense. The elites have a wraith and two revenants, a plasma launcher, focus rifle and a concussion rifle. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS AND ANY FEEDBACK YOU HAVE ON THE MAP, THANKS AND ENJOY.

Since this is an Invasion map could you detail each phase for us? That usually helps you get downloads if people know what they are trying to pull off as opposed to a blind guess on the download.
I must say that from the pictures your keep is very well done, bears a striking resemblance to the film. All i would say is that the wall could possibly need raising, the far side looks a little low. I will definately give it a D/L and have a walk through.
agreed. Im a big lord of the rings fan, and Ive wanted a helms deep invasion map for a while (short of making one myself) but this looks good. Might I suggest bomb placement first phase, and third as well, with instant detonation, like in the movie?
lotr fan 2 and serieusly nobody makes the deeping wall be a little curved... all the walls are just straight which is really something to work about.. further its a fine map of helms deep, is there a inside please post some more screens
Thanks for all the comments guys, @netentdo, thanks for the advice, i tried to explain it a little but i can add more detail @joshimitsu, i would have liked to have made everything a bit taller but ive run out of credits and i was trying to keep everything to scale. It is tall enough to stop people jumping over tho @professor, i toyed around with the phases but found this represented the films pretty well while while giving variety. Itll be easy to change the phases if you want to @rubuie, again this was due to me not having enough blocks and also trying to keep everything in line and neat. But i'll definately try that out if I do a new version. There is an inside bit on the ground level of the keep which contains the rocket launcher and health packs Thanks again guys
I was about to make this name map, was checking to see if name was taken. But i dont need to make one now as you have already made it. Set to invasion which is true to map and story. Great job and saved me making it. I like how the wall and castle building are made and set out.
Regarding the map, how does the gravity lift outside the map work? Do you have too aim for a one way shield door? Or is just for fun? Also did you send this into Halo Reach Forges, I remember seeing something similar.
