Holy cheesits, thankyou very much! I really gave this my all. I won't claim that it's perfect, cos we all know that just about every invasion map suffers from 'invasion syndrome' here and there, but I think it plays a pretty solid game. 'Halo Reach Forges' stuck a video of it on youtube, but it's pretty daft and funny. Gives you some idea of the layout though. Trust me the grav lift doesn't kill you!

If you have the old gametype (new one is labelled "Invasion Silent Barbarian 2") then chuck it and get the new one. Enjoy.
I just played this map with a 2v2 and it was AMAZING! great work man all my friends and i loved it. im not sure if ur familiar with A three Legged Goat's Invasion: Battery, but my friends and i agree that this was better than that map, no offence to him but urs was amazing. great work.
Cheers dude, I actually am about to post a revised version of this map, pending postin. It's the flow and spawning that could potentially cause problems, especially with 16 peeps, it gets real crowded, despite it's size. I'll put the revised map in the post alongside the older one, and ppl can tell me what they think. Cheers for the greatly kind words, ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks (embarrassed now...)!
Downloaded this map a while ago loved it, but never got around to commenting on it. Beautiful forging! I love the ship and the real Halo theme of the map. One of the coolest Invasion maps I have downloaded, up there with Data Hive. Great job of making the outside of the ship looks so great and still having a functional interior. I did go into forge mode and edit the inside of the ship some. I just cleaned up a little bit by removing pieces that weren't necessary and seemed to clutter the area (in my personal opinion). I then added a few pieces to make the interior more... clean, I guess is the word? By that I mean that I closed off some areas that weren't meant to be accessed and areas that didn't need to be accessed. Just made it more of a "room" so you couldn't see the pieces used to make the ship exterior. This was just to fit my personal preferences, though, and I have no complaint about your design. Excellent forging. Beautiful map.
Dude this map is sweet. It takes a lot of talent to create a good aesthetic ship AND have it be playable. I normally don't play invasion or download ship maps (most have aweful gameplay) but I think I can make an exception. Looks sweet can't wait to play it.
Cool man i like the "Lift" and the ship but i dont realy like the inside of the ship but still this is an cool map!!
OMG!!! YOU MADE THIS? lol. This is amazing man? How long did it take you?!? I love how you presented it, with the A.I. and the Spartan talking. This is simply amazing. I like how you made the G-lift look. The fine detail on this map is scarce, but I'm sure that your out of money on this map. XD wow man, great job.
WOW, thanks everyone. It took months to make, so I appreciate all the kindness. Two big words of advice- DON'T play it with more than 10-12 people, it just gets too crazy, and MAKE SURE you turn off float time for the objectives if you are going to play it. Other than that, go nuts.
Spiffy! I'm most impressed by the curve you have there; I think I can speak for everyone in saying that trying for any angle beyond the most basic is always a right pain in the ***
Wow, blown away. As someone who has read the Halo books and loves the entire universe, I can tell how much time and effort you put into this. The level of detail and the specifications are amazingly accurate for what you can do in forge. I haven't had a chance to try it out with a full compliment of people yet, but the gameplay may need some tweaks. If you come out with a new version, maybe you could add more going on the outside of the ship (but I haven't checked your budget, so maybe that wont work). Still a great map though. Hopefully I can get 8-10 people to try it out tonight.
I have to complement you for making the only aesthetic and gameplay sound covenant ship I have played(Im not including my map for I should not judge my map on grounds of me being biased.) Overall though very clean and very professional.
Very imprsssive i downloaded this awhile ago, just thought i,d post and bump The Thead What Other Maps u got to post, i Wanna See more!
I have several- but I am one of those guys who is scared to post without proper testing. I have posted on here before and got burned for not fully testing!!! I'll do some more soon.
looks awesome dude can't wait to try it out! I like how you did a little storyline with the A.I. and the spartan
Hmm this looks exactly like a map designed exactly the same way that was posted not too long after Reach came out by a close friend and excellent forger, Rifte Giffle. And if it wasn't posted by him it was co created by him because i played it during testing phase. Edit: i might retract this statement due to it may be the same map and creator from the old one lol
No, no you are right, Rifte Giffle made an amazing map called Unbroken Sovereignty, and beat me to the punch totally. I started making this when they announced the forgetacular competition on Bungie.net, but never submitted it cos it wasn't open to non-US citizens. I did in fact post this map in a very broken and awkward form and asked for it to be taken down after a couple of days, cos the criticism was... stinging to say the least. I asked if I could re-post it and after making a great amount of changes, I put it up again, in this incarnation. This map is not perfect, it will never be the perfect invasion experience that Cargo Hold is, or Data-hive or any of those famous ones. But it's the best tribute to an amazing, life changing game that I could come up with, and some people seem to like how it looks and how it plays, which is enough for me.
Holy Jesus! I saw the thumnail and thought "nice photoshop". then I notice that the edge of the ship looks suspiciously like small circular ramps... so i click it, and my reaction was "OMGWTFBBQ thats an acual map!!!!" Definatly gonna DL and probably play over and over again in TGIF and otherwise. BRILLIANT MAP, Juanez! keep it up!
Thanks, Tutui! Coming from a forger of your calibre that means a lot, I really appreciate that people are still enjoying it.
