[i]The following phases are subject to change[/i]
[u]ODSTs drop into the city to disable a Covenant bomb[/u]

[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]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Prometheanss Yes however, bungie created Reach in general and the terrible original arena system bassed on individual skill which flopped. I could go on and on.[/quote] Reach was bad. Nothing new here. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Prometheanss Halo 4 looks terrible, but you haven't played it yet.[/quote] Correct. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Prometheanss I'm sure as a developer you could do a much better job at creating a balanced competetive game?[/quote] With Bungie's resources, and an extensive knowledge of game design? Absolutely. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Prometheanss AS far as I'm concerned Bungie started going into the direction and didn't even try to balance the aa's. 343 from what I have seen has tried to make everything balanced. [/quote] Yo, I heard you like armor abilities, so we gave you sprint in addition to an armor ability so you can sprint while you jetpack/camo/seethroughwalls/etc. -_-

Reach MLG is superior to Halo 3. also, Halo 4 looks terrible. 343 is doing a horrible job of incorporating competitive ideas, and has instead decided to cater to the retards.[/quote] Yes however, bungie created Reach in general and the terrible original arena system bassed on individual skill which flopped.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] the pib [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat Halo 4 will have an Invasion successor. [/quote] I hope you're right, but, source?[/quote] 343 has stated several times that the map Longbow was built for a specific gametype and is something for the people who liked Invasion. I don't have a link to any bulletin but they have said that an "invasion-like" gametype will return. Never was it implied that Spartans vs Elites with 3 phases would return. And I'm glad. This means a balanced gametype similar to it will appear.[/quote]Well since we can't be elites in Halo 4, it won't be invasion. Similar at best.

Halo 4 will have an Invasion successor. I never said Invasion will return. Forge is good, and that's all I care about multiplayer-wise. [Edited on 08.29.2012 9:55 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat Going to be honest and say I was disappointed that this thread was pinned after I had suspended the project. Let me clear a few things up: > I haven't "quit". > I ran into trouble with my gamertag last month and had to remove everything from my console. This, by extension, deleted each and every one of the saved variants I had on my HDD except for the ones on my fileshare. On the plus side, I now have space to install Halo 4 to my HDD. > On the point of Halo 4, I weighed the pros and cons of resuming the project in Reach vs an extensive pre-planning period prior to the release of Halo 4, which would be followed by the forging of it in that game instead. I decided to go with the latter for several reasons: The first reason is that Halo 4's forge is more refined and will allow me to better shape the project. The enhanced features will make it more fun to forge and more fun to play. It'll also look and perform better with the updated graphics and engine. The second reason is because the Invasion successor will likely be more balanced due to the exclusion of Elites. A lot of people shied away from Invasion because of the imbalance, as well as the loadout system. I'm assuming that the equivalent successor to the gametype will be balanced and more appealing. Lastly, Reach is 2 years old and a lot of players have already left. Though I've had several chances to submit this and other maps for MM inclusion, it didn't make sense given the fact that the game will lose its population once Halo 4 launches. If this was made in 2010, then it'd have been a different story. But I'd rather not have spent months and months building something that will expire in the same amount of time. And then there's the case of IRL events that were expected to delay it as well. To make a long story short, a project of similar origin and caliber will be started this fall, accompanied by the fresh palette and wealth of new tools at my disposal. I'm aware of the deadlines that were not met and the promises that were not kept. I'm not denying that I not only slacked, but also lost motivation at several times. However, this is something I have invested time and money into, and it's still something I aspire to do. Any continuing support is appreciated, and the blind bandwagon hate, spam, and negativity will be ignored as always :) -Goat [/quote] Is implying that H4 will have Invasion. Is also implying that H4 will be good.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Inb4BadassBilly Don't be a docuhebag to Goat or I'll fly to America and make you regret you said that. Like he said Invasion maps are stupid hard to make, or at least properly. Maps, so to say, can get in pretty quickly on matchmaking if they have had enough time in customs.Heck even one of my collaborated maps with a good friend of mine is going in matchmaking in the June update (Federation Square.) [/quote] New york, come at me.
