ODST Invasion Development Thread
[quote][b]Welcome to the ODST Invasion Development Thread![/b][/quote]
The premise of the ODST Invasion map is to bring the ODST aesthetic design to Multiplayer in the form of a competitive map. Follow the development via this thread and share any thoughts, ideas, and feedback you may have as well.
[u][b]Design - v.2[/b][/u]
[i]The following phases are subject to change[/i]
[u]ODSTs drop into the city to disable a Covenant bomb[/u]
[b]P1:[/b] Territories--Contact the superintendent to unlock the supply cache. Two Territories at 20/7 seconds each
[b]P2:[/b] Assault--Demolish the gate to the building that the Covenant have planted their bomb in
[b]P3:[/b] Core Retrieval--Remove the bomb's power source and escort it out of the city
[u][b]Checklist:[/b][/u]

The bomb doesn't reset if it falls out of bounds and you can't separate the arm time from the disarm time.

P1 Territories P2 Territories (cause Assault is glitched) P3 Core retrieval That's about all I got. A list of aesthetics that I want to include are: -Lightbridges -Deathpits -Covenant PowerCore -Pelican -Covie Watch Tower <3 -Weapon Drop Pods Not sure if Pistons will still make the cut. But ya there'll a mix of indoor and outdoor combat. Just need to figure out what structure will best support that.
-
I think this map should have a really good balance between indoor and outdoor combat. The indoor areas shouldn't be campable like boneyard, but still give enough space for players on foot. Have you planned any objectives or weapon/vehicles yet? [Edited on 01.31.2012 2:05 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Clone Go back and change them then. I have the latest copy you made if you need it. I just would have to get my Xbox working.[/quote] Ya I'll go back and update Jackal Creek sometime soon. Though I was looking more into a redesign than an update. Pioneer's undergone an overhaul and I'm halfway done with it. Will work on that too when the Forerunner Invasion map is done. I mainly redid the base and the side structures.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Geordies Soul [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat [/quote] Couldn't you just use the Coliseum walls?[/quote] Yes, but without the brace larges they feel a bit bland and it would require more walls. I save about 2-3 walls by incorporating brace larges. No worries though. I have enough budget for them. I should have done this design on Jackal Creek and Pioneer. It looks really cool.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Clone Oh okay then. Which areas are you still choosing between? [/quote] Well I just built a concept on the quarry and it's just much too small for this particular map. The ODST map would work better but this one needs a wider initial battle field. So it's between Alaska and the Canyon. I can section the canyon off well enough so that it doesn't feel like Hemorrhage. It's just a matter of what structures we want to include and what sort of combat we're looking at. Either way the aesthetics are phenomenal. I don't know how I do it but I've got the CE feeling packed.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Geordies Soul [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Clone Didn't you say you made them cheaper?[/quote] I made the walls cheaper by adding spaces in between them and incorporating brace larges. This way I save walls. [/quote] Wall = $10 Brace Large = $150 ??[/quote] Brace Larges are actually $50 a piece, but I'm using quite a few so your number is about right. I didn't necessarily make the walls cheaper budget-wise. I just made them cheaper wall-wise, meaning I use less walls to make a...well, giant-ass Sentinel Wall.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Clone Light bridges are still in right?[/quote] I'm really hoping to keep them in. I think I just dropped Pistons though. Light bridges just require a death pit, which can be built easily. Pistons, however, require a large drop down, which I can only build on alaska or the quarry. I might move the map to the canyon, and it would require a huge elevation change for me to include pistons in a canyon design. I'll keep trying. I gotta run everything by my co-forger though and he barely gets on. I think he'll approve of anything I build though. [Edited on 01.31.2012 9:36 AM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] disconect Rather see them working on H4 than this.[/quote] I think you misread the thread. I'm the one working on the maps, not 343i. All we need from them is a reduction of the max party size in Invasion so I and other Invasion forgers could hopefully add a few new maps to Invasion.
-
Goat, in reference to you wanting large spaces for the vehicles, might I suggest looking up some of the cityscape maps built around Alaska? I seem to remember a couple of them worked exceedingly well. Their design made the area feel like entirely new spaces, and yet still gave enough space to the player by extending the surface of Alaska. I'll see if I can root them out. EDIT: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=18502139]This[/url] is one of the particular few that I was thinking of, though I recall bitpart some of the other maps in that set he's set up.

Suspended, not cancelled. The latter would imply that I gave up, which isn't true. I've just simply put it aside so that I can work on projects that would be finished in a shorter time frame. 3 months is too long to work on one map. I could have built 2 simpler Invasion maps in that time. Now onto the [b]UPDATE:[/b] Found a way to reduce wall usage on the Sentinel Wall I was planning on including in the map, so I might be able to use my original indoor concept after all. Now I just need to figure out where I'm putting the map. I need an interesting space for vehicle combat. Otherwise I might just build indoor vehicle combat and set the map as an extension of the Quarry. It's that, Alaska, or the Canyon, the latter of which is where I've built the wall draft. Hmm...

WEOW CANCELLED UR ODST MAP?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ankerd123 I find this hard to -blam!-e to.[/quote] You aren't the only one. No worries--once the maps start testing you can ogle at them all you want. My aesthetics are my strongest point.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cycle22 Why did I have a feeling that it would get "suspended"?[/quote] Because of all the redesigns.
