By A SILENT EMU and D0NT SH0OT ME (The two greatest Invasion players of all time =D)

Trial Point was initially inspired by multiple campaign missions which is evident in both the structures and gameplay. It is a large but fairly unique map that utilizes a good part of forge world ranging from the canyon beach to the island of Paradiso. Vast amounts of testing and tweaking went into this map to ensure that it plays as balanced as possible. No one vehicle or weapon reigns dominant over the others and no phase is quite too difficult or too easy. That is of course, as long as you are playing with competent players which can be a bit harder to achieve than presumed ;). Trial point is best suited for 6 v 6 but can be played with as little as 4 v 4 and up to 8 v 8. The “Onslaught” game mode is required.

Loadouts: All loadouts are the standard Invasion loudouts for each phase.

The spartans have just landed on the beach and must push the covenant out of the area in order to make an effective attack. Phase one gives players on both sides the option to either spawn at the bottom and engage in usually vehicular combat in a fight for the tower, or spawn up top the mountain and use long range, precision weapons to assist the rest of your team in doing so. Use both high and low ground in order to take the covenant tower.

After the first phase all long range weapons (Sniper rifles and Plasma rifles) are removed for balance issues. Additionally, Ghost and Revenant become locked in spawn. All other weapons/vehicles remain for additional use if necessary but only spartans will have spawn zones ranging back to the beginning.

The tower has been successfully acquired. The covenant have set up a blockade in the upcoming tunnel in order to stop your progress. The only way to successfully get vehicles past the blockade is to destroy the generator that powers the energy field.
