This map is a contest entry for the Forgetacular Contest. It is my first invasion map and I had some difficulties in construction. This is my first post on here, so if I did something wrong, please let me know and I will hasten to correct it. Thanks to Bungie's guide I was able to create this.

Overview of the Entire Map

The Exterior of the Human's HQ and Final Stand. It houses the NavCore.

Revenant hitting one of the three non-respawning landmines placed in front of the human wall.

The Spartan boarding the Elite's main tool of destruction, the Revenant.

The Interior of the HQ. The Nav core is in the back. The front is composed of a Bunker, Round. Deeper in there are two sockets. One with a Spartan Laser and one with a Grenade Launcher.

The Elite's completing the first objective, destroying the Spartan's gate.

The Map starts with Elites behind a one-way shield with one ghost, one Revenant, two needle rifles, and a focus rifle. The bomb was unpacked by Elite forces at the entrance to a captured human bunker. The Elites best hope is to take the Revenant with the bomb in the passenger seat to make a rush plant. Failure may result in a total loss of hope for the attack. This puts an all or nothing feel to the Elite assault. It does remain possible to succeed afterword, but without the Revenant's support, it could be far more challenging. The Elites have a special Tree of Loadouts starting with Demon, armed with a Plasma Rifle and Drop Shield. They are the primary bomb planter class. The Humans have a stone wall with a massive gate in the center. They have one Rocket Launcher, 3 pre-placed Land Mines, and a DMR at their disposal. There is also a health kit by the DMR.

After the Elites breach the main gate, two cave tunnels also open up in addition to the destroyed gate. The gate's rubble remains in place for the remainder of the game. The Elites get an additional Ghost and a Wraith during Phase 2. Their spawns move up to the former human line and are given access to a concussion rifle class with Drop Shield. The Sparans must defend a building near the gate and a COM Antenna located in the field near the HQ. They are able to spawn on the roof of the HQ, at a field outpost with an MG and sandbags, a clifface and a garage. The garage contains a back room for spawning and a rocket launcher. The main region of the garage provides a Chaingun Hog and a Mongoose. Another mongoose is available at the Field Outpost. A sniper rifle spawns on the roof of the HQ.

Once the Elites seize one of the two points, they proceed to cap the core. It is located inside the Stronghold HQ. The Elites gain a Banshee at their starting spawn as well as a third ghost. They now unlock all normal tier 3 loadouts. The Spartans now have access to their main weapons store, with a Spartan Laser and a Grenade Launcher. It is a fairly defensible position with some boxes to hide behind. Presently a warthog can be fit inside, but I haven't decided whether or not to patch it. A Falcon will spawn on the Landing pad behind the HQ, dangerously close to the Elite's drop off point for the core. A missile hog will also spawn inside the garage for the humans.

I think that about sums up the map. Apologies for the length, but it is an invasion map, so what can you expect? Please give me some feedback and the like, and enjoy.
