HUGE EDIT!: MY INVASION MAP IS DONE!
The map is called Cruiser Invasion and is in my fileshare!
Go download the map and play it.
I have added how to make your own Invasion map below! I hope it helps!
As the title implies, I have remade the invasion game type. I searched high and far to find the best way to remake the game type and I have done so.
The game type is in my file share and is a dominion game type called “Invasion” which I think is appropriate.
Now…there are certain things you have to do on your map to make the game type work. This is not very complicated but without these things the game type will not work.
- Set an attacker team and defender team where you would want them to spawn initially on the map.
- Set ALL of the dominion bases to the defender team.
- Create objects to obstruct the attacker team from advancing to later bases until the current objective is taken.
- Create objects that will obstruct the defender team from getting to previous bases once they are taken.
There are 2 rounds and the teams do switch sides for each round.
If I think of anything I have left out I will be sure to add it.
Now…for the changes that are in the new invasion game type.
- The defenders can take bases back if the attackers are not careful. The defenders will get points just like the attackers. (This is why I suggest obstructing them once a base is taken.) THIS WAS PROVEN FALSE! THEY CAN TAKE THE BASES BACK BUT IT WILL NOT GIVE THEM POINTS, CHANGE OBJECTIVES, OR CHANGE SPAWN!********
- There is no CTF option.
- Each segment does not have its own time. The game type will have one time limit for all objectives in the map.
- The current game type is set for a score to win of 3. However, you can change this to any amount you want to harbor as many objectives as you want instead of just 3. But remember there is one time limit, not multiple.
- You will be facing other Spartans. not Elites…
Once again if I think of anything I have left out I will be sure to add it.
DOWNLOAD:
1.Go to my gamer tag.
2. Go to my file share.
3. Search for a dominion game type called Invasion.
4. Search for a Impact map called Cruiser Invasion.
5. Download the game type and begin creating your own Invasion maps and play mine.
Hope you enjoy the new Invasion! NOW GET BACK IN THERE SPARTAN!
How to make your own Invasion map?
First as explained above download the gametype so you have it. You can change the gametype later depending on what you need to do.
You will need to forge with the “Dominion” gametype (any dominion gametype can be used to forge under.)
Create bases as you would under a normal dominion map and layout where you want the objectives to be.
You will create the bases with the normal labels that you have in dominion. In addition to this you will also set the team to “Defenders” for all of the bases but one. The first base will be set to the team of “Attackers”.
Once you have the teams set for the bases you will set the spawn sequences for the bases. This makes sure that different bases are separate. Other words you will have 1 base in one area that has no ties to another base with a different spawn sequence. You can give two bases the same spawn sequences and this is how you create more than one base for one objective. In example the first objective may be set and you capture it but the next one you can choose which of the multiple bases to capture for the objective. Capturing either base will give you the points and both bases under the same spawn sequence.
Next you can add objects that will spawn once bases are captured. You do this by giving the objects the same spawn sequence as the base you want them to capture. Next you set them to 1 seconds respawn and the spawn at start to “false”. In addition you need to add the gametype label to the objects “Dominion Shield”.
All that is left is creating the spawn areas and your map is done. Finally make any changes needed to the gametype to go with your map and you should be done.
If I missed anything or messed up I will be sure to make changes later. I hope this helps and people make Invasion maps!
If you make a good Invasion map I will post it here so other people can download it too! So get forging!

Can you make a map to go with it? For the lazies? (me)
Hell at least your trying.
I like this. But it’s more like Conquest assault than Invasion.
The lack of Elites is disturbing…mainly for those who love Elites and because Invasion featured them. Heavily. Something you can’t help.
So i will be that nit picky Halo fan every thread seems to have say, it’s not the same ;/
Kudos for trying at least.
Invasion is already a playable playlist in Halo Reach.
> Invasion is already a playable playlist in Halo Reach.
But Halo 4 is better.
I understand most the problems such as the Elites and I cant do anything about that. Also I will make an Invasion map sometime this week and will post it here also if you want me to. Since some of you are lazy. lol
Even though Invasion is in Halo Reach I would prefer for it to be in the most recent game. If they could fix the problems in this game it could be better than Reach. I want to play Invasion in the most recent game. I do not want to go back to earlier games and play those because I would be wasting time and money which would mean I would be better off not playing Halo at all. Although going back every one in a while can be fun, I do not want to have a complete transfer BACKWARDS regardless of the problems with this game.
I’ve already made several custom games, and what I’ve noticed are huge problems in creative (not-the-usual kills/CTF/shotgun-pistol flood) custom gametypes include:
[/li]- No ability to revert to ‘classic’ flood, where skins are removed and you can set starting weapons for flood. This makes creating those unique games so much harder, and some are just impossible.
- No wide-open forge map…Hurts racetracks, Cat N’ Mouse style games (from H2), and huge, chaotic air/land battles. Very limited in size.
- No insta-kill option in trait fields, used in fat-kid-esque games.
- No racetrack/VIP gametypes. Now almost (if not completely) impossible to make race maps.
- No invasion.
- Can’t have weapons spawn in flood, must be orbital drops
That being said, it looks like you put a lot of effort into this with all those limitations. I’ll be sure to try it out with all the other HCG maps people have posted.
looks nice when you get someone to make a map for it i would be interested to play it as invasion was my favorite gametypr from reach
I understand that there are other problems too but I am trying to make the best of it. Also there is plenty of room on the maps to make a map. (sounds weird lol) You just need to know where to look on the maps. All 3 of the “forge” maps have large areas without kill boundaries that can be put to use.
Also I am working on making an Invasion map at the moment since I am an Invasion forger from Halo Reach. That might be the main reason I went through the trouble to make the game type and how I knew how to make a similar game type. Wish me luck. 
I have finished my Invasion map!
IT is called Cruiser Invasion and is in my fileshare!
I have added a description of how to make your own Invasion map! I hope it helps!
I recently learned from some tests that the defenders CANNOT get points for recapture of objects and it will do nothing to affect the gametype. The attackers may need to capture it again at the end but there is no affect to points.
Im making a ctf invasion. Each round the spawnss swap (red defend first then blue next round. Instead of a time delay generator. KOTH still capture, there are 5 dominion neutral walls right on top each other that have to be destroyed to progress. There are two twiers of this and then the flag capture. Message my profile for an in vkte and demonstration. I still need help with making tier spawning but apart fromt that, its looking nice.
