Invasion: Fulfilled Prophecy
Spartans, access this structure's terminals to get the core. Then bring it here for evac. 8-12 Invasion only.

Wanting to make an invasion map, I started forging in the quarry, hoping to make my way down into the coliseum (feel free to take that idea, anybody). Sadly, I couldnt make it work. It looked nice, but I couldnt find a way to travel to the coliseum. So I scrapped that, and tried again at the same thing, again failing. So I left the quarry behind altogether, and set off for another area of forgeworld. And so I found the blue base of Paradiso to be a good beach.

Inspired by campaign missions in previous Halo's such as the Ark in Halo 3 and Assault on the Control Room in Halo: CE, I developed in my head a plan for a large bridge, littered with crates, with a smaller bridge connected above it. Knowing this alone would not make a good invasion experience, I went further and connected connected the bridge to a large building, the first room being a hallway split in three which is a remake of of the room where the first terminal is located in Halo 3. The last room I just made up to keep with the aesthetic feel of the rest of the map.

Gameplay on this map is a guaranteed good time. It has been tested several times to ensure balance and difficulty, without making it impossible. Another plus about the gameplay on this map is that teamwork is a must, without working as a team you will fail, as many have done before. I also feel that I have successfully made an infantry-focused Invasion experience. The gametype on this is what makes the map balanced and fair, though. So I Highly recommend DLing that if you DL the the map.

Gametypes make the invasion experience of every map unique, and this is problably the most edited gametype for invasion ive played on. Changes include: Many loadout adjustments, phase capture time changes, etc.

Testing on Prophecy was what made it what it is today, thanks to all those who tested it. Credits to Eightball, Govier, Panic45/ Career, JGarb/ Jackson, Duck NG, Berb, Knight of 0rder, Marcass (Eeeeeee!), and everyone else who tested. Thank you! So you can see how much this map has developed through testing, I included a spoiler.

Backstory: Spartans discover a forerunner structure containing an artifact necessary in fueling a super-weapon that (sadly) is destroyed before it can fire at its target: High Charity. But the covenant have already inhabited this structure, believing that the artifact is needed as a tool to access the Great Journey. So the Spartans have to hack into the terminals to shut down the shields guarding the power core.
