Hello! After many months of looking at other people's maps and making a large pile of slightly finished maps, I was in forge just messing around having a Covenant vs spartan war, when i realized that it could be an actual map. And after painfully removing all of the incredibly detailed (and costly) items on the map, this is the result. Its not the most competitive map out there and it's mostly aesthetic, but it is made to help me understand how to make a competitve map. However, I managed only to place a few very important structures around the map, and not half as detailed as i wish. I WANT YOUR OPINIONS. I need to know how to improve. This is invasion. More (updated) screenshots on the way, with TONS more cover, its too empty on these pictures, as soon as they upload -__- The AA gun i made and the Orbital elevator in the background. You bomb the AA gun in the 3 phase PS: just realized the Elevator looks weird in this picture Color scheme 2, this is the one I intend to use, is it good? or painful to see? An image of my second model of covenant tower. i had another pic but it didnt upload. suggestions? (i had low budget) Phase one. You can see the Oni Alpha site area in the background. Doesnt look like much now, but it has improved ALOT since these were taken. Yes, i did fill in the left side, and the awkward back Phase 2. Spartans spawn on the bridge, Lower right corner, and must capture either the destroyed orbital elevator or the Covenant tower. Humans Phase 2 Warthog x1 :45 mongoose x2 :30 Rocket Launcher 2 spare clips :60 Phase 3 Rocket Hog Spartan laser x1 :150 (its extremely powerful on this type of map) Scorpion x1 :120 Falcon x2 :75 (tell me if these shouldnt be here, or only one) Covenant Phase 2 Revenant x1 :00? should this be here? Ghost x2 or one? Phase 3 Wraith x1 :90 Banshee x2 :100 (tell me if these shouldnt be here, or only one) Fuel Rod x1 :60 2 spare clips Plasma Launcher? Focus rifle x1 :00? EDIT
I'm not sure what fx you have on, but I think it would be much better without them. The biggest problem youre going to have is that those bridges are jus too flat and open. Flat maps are boring and distances like that promote vehicle dominance way too much.
the bridge is a minor part of the map. the parts of the bridge where people actually play on is mostly the first phase, and there are no vehicles, and many covenant barriers. the rest of the bridge is mostly for vehicle movement to the third objective there is a large rock ramp to alaska(i think?) for players and small vehicles. This map encourages vehicle gameplay. If a player does not take a vehicle, the Island provides all the cover he needs. and alot has been added now and the bridge provides cover for many people under it. There are a few crates on the bridge, and a Brace peice covering the middle portion.( moved more to center) Sooo - The Bridge is not the focus of the map. it is merely a transportation method for heavy vehicles which only spawn in the third phase. and a connection to the spartan far spawn zone
