I recently saw a thread on Forgehub seeking a compilation of great invasion maps. There also seems to be an increase in interest in invasion recently in the halo community. As a result I assume that alot more people are trying to build invasion maps now. For those less experienced forgers or those who would like to get better, I have created a series of videos called "Invasion Forging" which should help out. Basically the videos cover the creation of an invasion map and offers tips along the way. I also show viewers how to build aesthetic pieces for their maps including anti-air guns, bunkers, satellite stations, an aircraft carrier, and a submarine among other things. I hope this series helps level the playing field in forging by giving newer forgers the tools to make great looking maps that also play well "Invasion Forging Part 1" [HD] - Forge Tips & Tricks (THFE) - YouTube "Invasion Forging Part 2" [HD] - Forge Tips & Tricks (THFE) - YouTube "Invasion Forging Part 3" - Forge Tips & Tricks (THFE) - YouTube "Invasion Forging Part 4" [HD] - Forge Tips & Tricks (THFE) - YouTube "Invasion Forging Part 5" [HD] - Forge Tips & Tricks (THFE) - YouTube
I subscribed to THFE and I love it! Your videos are great! Although I always have trouble coming up with original map designs. How do you do it Oakley/Rivalmass.
I usually base each map around a general theme or idea. The I go ahead an just forge off the top of my head to create the experience that I want. Once an initial version is built I draw it on paper and see how I can change the layout to promote better gameplay. Testing after that helps polish the map
How long do you think it will take until you post the final version in a video? BTW, these videos helped me so much that I subscribed.
these videos helped me soooo much i made a map a lot like yours with low walls bunkers asthetic turrets and much more all thanks to you nice job hope you keep making videos like these also you should realease a video about making bunkers and silos and other cool looking base like pieces thanks for the help
I created an epic Invasion map based off of an ODST mission. I finished the map, but whenever I test it, it has spawned a few elites outside them map, even though I have at least 3 inv_res_p... in every phase. I have no idea what causes this, and I was wondering if you could help...
If I ever want to create an Invasion map I might just watch these videos. So far though I feel comfortable sticking to competitive maps.
The spawn sequence in advanced options. 0 for fireteam one use, 1 for ft two use, 2 for ft three use and anything above 2 for everyone to use. I've found/been told it's been best to use things like hill markers for these, instead of traditional spawn points. And, of course, the initial spawns for p1.
