I have started making a few maps before but never got round to finishing them so have now decided to make an invasion map. Ive got alot of ideas already but wanted to know what everyones oppinion is in AA guns and aircrafts on invasion. I am planning to make a big map so vechiles are playing a big part. Also do you find that its fair for one team to have vechiles and the other have vechile destroying weapons. Thanks in advance
It would be better if we had more information about the map. For example– • Where are you thinking of building it? • What is your plan for the map? Theme? • Spartan or Elite Offense? • Map structure– Does it have a normal Phase 1 to Phase2/3 expansion or does it expand differently? All this would help people answer your questions. Currently I can say that AA guns and aircraft should only be used if they have some use in the map, something you can walk in and around. In most cases try not to build random structures outside the map, as this wastes budget and can cause framerate. Generally both teams after phase 1 should have some power weapons and vehicles, but the case changes at times such as How Elites have no vehicles until Spire Phase 3 and how elites have no power weapons on Breakpoint. Generally though, both teams should have both vehicles and power weapons at some point in the game (nothing on Phase 1 of course.)
The theme is the defenders ( Covenant ) have a research facilty based in forge world with future tech ( Banshee ) The attackers ( Spartans) have to steal this future tech and blow up the base. So phase 1 is assult, where you blow your way into the gate to gain accsess to the hangar, phase 2 is capture the flag, which will be taking the banshee and making sure it reaches the extraction point ( Flag return ) Phase 3 will be to blow the base. So each of these phases will be set in different lcations around forge world. For phase 1 i was going to include a couple of vechiles, nothing too big tho, as the front gate has anti vechile emplacements. Thanks for your reply, only just started this map and its hard enough already lol
