Hello everyone. Yesterday i played some halo 3. I loved the mission when master chief is attacking an installation. He must fight with two scarabs etc. I really loved this idea. Then i realised it is not so hard to make such battle on forge world. This will be an Invasion map. Spartans are attacking Installation 06. It was seen in Halo 3 or CE, i dont remember in which. Of course it was seen only on Hologram, not in real game. Story is simple, but really interesting IMO. Spartans have to capture the core with really important data, but the core is hidden inside the big citadel-like building seen in Halo 3. Spartans first have to disable the first shield by detonating one of two generators. They have Warthog and shotgun, Elites have ghost and Plasma Launcher. Second objective is to activate the plasma bridge to citadel, but it is really hard because they need to capture the controls in tower like building. They have one rocket launcher and one sniper rifle. Of course they still got the hog. Covenants have some shade turrets in this tower, also they have few needle rifles. And now the fun is starting. The longest round is now when the bridge is activated and Spartans need to rush into Citadel and get the core out. Why out? Because they need to get the core into... Falcon! Yes! Someone need to fly the falcon really close to the core so it will be captured. Citadel is really heavy protected. One shade turret, also few plasma turrets (the small ones that can be detached.) Covenants got banshee and Wraith, Spartans got Scorpion and Falcon that is the mission objective. First spartans will need to destroy the anti air guns to let the falcon fly closer to the citadel. Of course classes will be really well ballanced. It has to be hard for Spartans. What do you think abut this idea? I am starting the works soon.
Sounds like a decent idea. It will be interesting to see how you manage the plasma bridge, but Ive got an idea as to how Id do it, anyway, so you'll likely accomplish it in the same way. Good luck, mon frér.
Actually I am Opened for any ideas so you can give me yours. I wanted to make like normal bridge that spawns in 3rd phase, with plasma shields on it. It is impossible to make just plasma shield because there are some bugs that will not allow you to pass the bridge with human vehicle. Whats your idea?
It would be limiting, but Id make the plasma bridge a Grid. Of course, if you wanted to keep the continuity and make it look like a proper plasma bridge you'd need to make the area where the "bridge" spawns very narrow and hide the outside edges of the grid inside other objects. Example: But this may not be optimal because you'd have to have a large area to place the Grid and essentially make it a funneled area, which would likely make it hard for people to get through without dying a lot. Up to you though, hope this helps.
Unfortunately, tank beats everything. For example, on Bonyard, the scorpion can single-handedly take out all of the covenant vehicles. The tank was terribly balanced in this game. You'd likely need two plasma launchers (that SPARTANS can't access); one for the tank, one for the falcon. Human vehicles trump covie vehicles in nearly every way.
There are some places around blood gulch (and perhaps others) where you can glitch the game into thinking there is a solid walkway when there are no pieces there. Then you can add shield doors that people can walk on as if they were a solid surface and voila: energy bridge.
The Xun idea is really good, actually I can make a grid inside the forerunners structure so it will be easy to make grid a bridge. And i wanted to get like 2 plasma launchers hidden behind the shiled doors that only elite thet spawned there can pass. And that Stronghold which is objective in 2nd phase... The elite spawn there will not be disabled, because Spartans objective wasn't capture the stronghold. It was only acces the terminal. Elites will have a banshee landing pad there, and they will still respawn there so Spartans will need to advance through stronghold every time they spawn. Or maybe it is bad idea?
