Story:

Another Boring day on the job. Spartan 804 Hero Got out of his Warthog as a Pelican latched it onto it's tail and ascended away with it. Hero had been a Spartan III for nearly fourteen years. He made it through all his battles unfazed and near unscathed, giving him his famous moniker, Hero. He saw a more slender spartan, Kathy, gesture for him and he walked off the landing pad.

Kathy had been a Spartan for nearly thirteen years and was famous as a sniper for her team. Hero had been working mediocre perimeter jobs since the last battle of Harvest. This was no different. Apparently he and his team were to check the perimeter of a "top priority" Nuclear reactor base. "Tch. Some nuclear base. Just a couple ol beat up shacks and an even bigger nuclear power cell is all this pathetic excuse for a Top Priority UNSC asset is." Retorted Ryan, A big spartan II retired from a secret military operation who was skilled in close quarters and heavy weapons.

"Well we were sent here to investigate suspicious activity here, possibly dangerous." Kathy replied. "Besides, wasn't there a bigger force here earlier? Why don't they get them to scout the damn perimeter?" Ryan Grumbled. "That's enough just scout the damn perimeter and I will be right back." Hero Interrupted in a irritated voice Hero went inside to see a shorter spartan checking the nuclear levels. Higher levels were usually good.

Hero was thinking about the suspicious activity that was going on while Gregory blabbed on his mindless scientificy yab. He heard Greg near exclaim and asked what was up. "Not good." Gregory said in return. "Nuclear levels are way too low. One of the power chords is cut." Hero felt himself sweat a bit when he heard cut instead of tear. He ran up to the comm antenna while Greg went to check it out.

What's up?" Kathy inquired. Hero gave no response. as he turned on the radio.

TF165: This is task force 165 Our nuclear reactor is under attack. Possible covenant threat and.. oh my God a WRAAA-*Radio static*

DS343:This is Delta Squad 343! Help us! Covenant have attacked our reactor and I need backup now! *Crash* *ROOOOOOOOAAAR* N-NO P-PLEASE DON'T *Energy crackles* AAAAAAAGH! *ROOOOOOAAAAAAAR* *Radio Static*

CT180: This is command tower 180. We have backup at the ready. All available reactor units please respond. Repeat we have backup at the ready.

Hero: This is Beta Squad 2219. I read you CT. I have a code Yellow in suspicion of Covenant activity, need backup ASAP. Repeat, this is Spartan 804 Hero I need backup for possible covenant activity.

CT180: Roger that. Backup is around seven clicks away. Give em Hell Spartan.

Hero ran as fast as he could to Greg's location, the broken power chord. But alas, it was too late.

He saw his friend's dead body on the ground. it had been stabbed. He soon figured out the murder weapon too.

An energy sword lay on the ground beside his fallen friend. He saw a strange silhouette. An Elite Suddenly de-cloaked it's active camo.

The Elite just stared. Long and hard. Hero grew mad with rage and picked up the sword. The Elite grunted a challenging grunt and they clashed swords. Hero attempted a right hook, the Elite blocked it and swung at Hero's neck. Hero ducked and kicked the Elite back and swung.

Unfortunately the Elite had a great handle on his sword and he knocked Hero's sword out of his hand and tackled him. Hero lost consciousness for a moment. When he came to, the Elite was standing over him, sword in hand. "Your race shall suffer the same fate as your companion. For it is the will of the gods and we-" "Blah blah blah." Hero Retorted. "Ya gonna kill me or what." "Aren't we eager?" The Elite snorted. He jumped high into the air. just what Hero needed. With his arms free he took his piston in hand and...

The Elite fell at his feet. Still seeking justice for his friend Hero took the Elite's own sword and cut off his head with it. He heard a whoosh and saw a Spirit dropship un-cloaking.

"Oh crap!" He exclaimed. He ran back to the perimeter to see his team armed and ready to go. With backup around three klicks away, this was going to be a looooong day.

Description:

I sure hope this story intrigued you. Hello. I am Zow Jr. And as my first post on forgehub I am proud to present to you.

Fort Beta 2219!!!!!!!!!
This map supports a gametype that is sure to help some people remember the experience of the most bad to the bone Reach Beta game, Invasion.
Invasion Slayer is a VIP game with set rules for each team. (I recommend you do red vs blue or red vs green for best results) Quick honor rule (sorry) If you are on the red team, you must change to Elites, if you are on blue or green team, you must be Spartans
There are two species you can become in this game.

Spartan
You are a Spartan and frankly, you don't appreciate the Elites messing up your nuclear reactor. So what are you gonna do bout it? You are going to grab a weapon and show these aliens what happens when they mess with the UNSC.

VIP Team (Spartan III) Traits
Shields and Health:
Damage Resistance; Normal
Shields: Normal
Shield Recharge rate: 0%
Weapons and Damage:
Primary Weapon: Magnum
No Secondary
No Grenades
Damage Modifier: Normal
Movement:
Speed: 110%
Gravity: 150%
Vehicle use: Normal
Appearance:
Forced Color: Green
VIP (Medical Spartan) Traits
All same as normal Spartan traits except no waypoint for enemies
VIP Proximity traits give your shields a recharge when you are in need of health

Spartans can become a variety of classes including...

Elites
You are an Elite, and you want nothing better than to see those humans squirm. What's one way? Other than glassing the planet, taking valuable info and resources by destroying important human power cells is a real nice way of doing it. Although the Spartans were more prepared weapon wise, you have strength, skill, and one badass sword over them.

Onto the map. Basically what this map is is a small nuclear outlet with a UNSC Vs. Covenant twist. A Pelican and a spirit (yes a Spirit not a phantom) Are on either side. that's where you spawn. There are weapons that arrive in certain time frames to make gameplay more hectic and vehicles are added for more vehicular based gameplay. This was of course, made for 6v6. It will be mostly uninteresting should the number dwindle. The Fort side or UNSC side includes a couple of barricades, a large one way bunker, and a landing pad for vehicles. On the Power Field or Covenant side there are Power chords for cover, a large shield door. and a landing pad. In the middle are two shacks you can use for cover or sniping and a nuclear reactor. The top of the nuclear reactor is accessible but should you fall in the opening, you will be burned up by nuclear radiation. I know this sounds quite open but this was implemented for vehicles to have more playing room and to make infantry wars more strategy based and tactical. No more rushing in with your BR and ownin everyone, you need to stick with your team to survive. Speaking of which, the one entry spawns sound easy to camp on but nay, tis not so. Let me show you.

When you die and respawn, you look a lil something like this.

*Edit*
Respawn Traits
All traits are normal for the side you are on.
Duration:15 seconds
Shields and health
Damage resistance: Invulnerable
Forced color: White

I chose white because it is a more ghostly color. Basically you have fifteen seconds to choose a loadout, get out on the battlefield and get prepared before invincibility wears out. Oh and enemies the invincible person can hurt you, so try to avoid them until they regain their color.*Edit* 15 seconds seem like a long amount of time. But when you consider the time it takes to choose a loadout, grab weapons from your drophship, and clean up any potential spawn campers and spawn snipers, it's a pretty fair amount

Speaking of loadouts, when you spawn, you have loadouts in these boxes.

These will reveal bigger and better loadouts as time passes. But choose quickly and wisely. For example. Enemy tank inbound and you need to provide heavy support now. Well just choose grenadier or assassin and you are set.

Weapons List(Besides loadout weapons)

Weapons in pelican:
AR:4
DMR:2
Sniper Rifle:2
Rocket launcher:2
Spartan Laser:1

Weapons in Spirit:
Needler:2
Needle Rifle:2
Beam Rifle:3

Weapons on Map
AR:2
DMR:2
Shotgun:1
Sniper:1
Rockets:1
Plasma Repeater:2
Needle Rifle:2
Beam Rifle:1

*Edit* Weapons are now not insta respawn.

There are also two easter eggs on my map that allow the UNSC and Covenant to access two special heavy weapons. All you need is a good explosion from a tank and you are all set.

So get a Party of 6v6 together, grab a loadout and have some fun killing each other.

I am giving credit to Rifte Gifle for the inspiration to make this map. I had this idea since the Beta ended, but Rifte Gifle definately gave me that little spark. My creation is similar to, but not the same as INvasion repel. The medic thing was indeed copied off of invasion Repel. you are spartans, not marines. And you get to select loadouts instead of trying to find em. (Plus there is more cover and balance while still making fun gameplay)

*EDIT* Well I bet ur wonderin what the easter egg weapons are huh? well this is a spoiler so idk how to do the spoiler hide thing but it is a machine gun turret and 3 Plasma Cannons. Use an Asplosion from nade or tank to knock em off the nose of the pelican or the tail of the Spirit and viola, hidden power weapons. (the elites have 3 to make up for lack of power weapons in there side)

Here is what all you forgehubbers want to see. ACTION PICS!

I would appreciate and hope that all comments are constructive criticism and I hope that you can show me ways I could have made this better and give me Ideas to make this better for future maps I will post. =D

Oh one more purely optional Honor rule. Spartans and Elites, please stick with your own factions weapons. It makes it more fun and more Spartan vs Elite savvy. This was a real problem for Elites because they would always pick up only human weapons and use their increased strength to R8p humans. There was a friend who always would wait near the human's side with only a plasma pistol and camp until he found human weapons. This problem wasn't as prominent with spartans, as they would only Steal Banshees and Energy Swords. It got so annoying to where I almost made respawn traits to pick up weapons and normal traits not pickup weapons. So to avoid future frustration, please stick to what your faction offers you. I have a friend who will post more Invasion Slayer Maps as will I but until then, have fun.

Thank You,
