Overview: It is finally ready for forgehub! I have been working on this map for months and I have always made invasion maps but this one was a challenge. Fellow forgers "RELIC" is finally ready to be released to the community. This is an invasion map that utilizes aerial combat as well as infantry warfare. Well anyways it was very difficult to get photoes for this map because it is very large with many you could say "levels" to it. Which is why I think this video gives more justice to the map. YouTube - Halo Reach Invasion Map: RELIC‏ Front view of "RELIC" Under the map in this tunnel is where the Banshee's spawn. Only Elites can get here by using the teleporter in their spawn. Storyline: I've set the stage in the heart of the human/covenant war on one of the halo's. A platoon of marines stumble across a forerunner structure high in the cliff's under covenant control. Phase 1: Territories In phase 1 aerial combat is at the heart of the misssion and humans utilize their falcons to take one of the two bunkers on the side of the map. During this Elites barrage them with plasma pistol charges and plasma launcher fire. While also using their aerial vehicles to stop you which means of course Banshee's. Also utilizing team spawing in this stage is very helpful. The left bunker. The right bunker. And later on the bomb will be to the right as you will see. Phase 2: Assault In this phase humans have taken ground and can now spawn closer to the battlefield without the aid of a spawn partner. Humans must now plant the bomb in the reactor core of the communications array. This is where infantry combat starts to take a major role in gameplay but both sidesare always able to use their vehicles they just might not be as helpful. The bomb spawn. The bomb detonation site located under the communications dish. Phase 3: The Core Now the final push is here and the Humans have control over the lower level but must now retrieve the core from the council chambers and bring it back to a safe evac site. This is my favorite part of this map because you must work as a perfectly oiled machine with your team in order to accomplish your goal. Note: Vehicles can turn the tide of the battle in this stage. Outside view of the council chambers. Inside the council chambers is where the core lies. the core drop off in the front of the map.
