Invasion: Shoreline

Created by Arates II

Description:

Shoreline was an assault mission lead by the Spartans to destroy a Covenant supply. They had been deployed here days after the invasion of reach began in hope of recapturing this territory. The map is symmetrical and can support sixteen players max and a minimum of eight. Its design focuses on the players going around the island almost like in a C. There is a part of the island though that is completely blocked off with soft kill zones and one kill zone going straight through the middle of the area, along with gates on the two paths leading into the area. It will disappear if the humans win Phase I.

Phase I starts off with Spartans assaulting the island from the coastline. They spawn behind groups of rocks in between the coastline and island and must push forward onto the island. Their goal is to capture of one of the two defense positions in control of the elites. The elites have a good set of defensive for this wave but it shouldn't be too hard for the humans to press forward. There is a single shade turret for the elites that can be used for this first phase but they must take good care of it because if it is destroyed it will not be replaced with a new one. Also for Phase I there is a soft kill barrier surrounding the rest of the map so no one can go ahead to the next capture points.

Once Phase II begins the Spartans will gain a mongoose and a warthog along with a turret to defend their new outpost. Their goal once again is to push forward and capture one of the two objectives. The change this time is that one of the objectives they can capture is a Covenant Pylon, while the other is near a Covenant lookout tower. The lookout tower and pylon are both equipped with Plasma Turrets So the Spartans must take caution when attempting to capture either objective. As well, the Covenant has access to a ghost and two needle rifles.

If the Spartans successfully capture either objective they will move onto the final phase to destroy the supply base. When Phase III begins the Spartans main outpost will have a new makeover along with two DMR's and a Scorpion. At their newly acquired bases they will establish a mounted machinegun and DMR in the lookout tower and will rip out the Covenant plasma turrets from both bases. To top it off the Spartans can find a rocket launcher with one clip, a sniper rifle and a mongoose in the vicinity of their newly acquired bases. As for the elites they will gain a second ghost, a wraith and establish a new shade turret at their front lines along with brand new weapons in their primary outpost. The Spartans goal is simple, take the bomb from the Pylon and plant it in the Covenant supply base. If all is done the Spartans shall gain control of this island for future uses in the battle of reach.
