    I've played on quite a few, there was a bunch of good ones in HaloCharts Satyros group but idk what became of them, or where the creators moved too.

    The hard thing about forging Invasion though is the person has to understand how invasion works, which is really hard to do. Unless you know how the Fireteam system works, and that each tier builds on the previous one, and has to be balanced for both offense and defense.

    I'm hoping 343 starts implementing alot more community maps into Reach, and not just BTB, and Slayer stuff. Living Dead and Invasion still need love, but at this rate, who knows. :/

    Its gotta be hard to set up an invasion gametype that works and is good. You have to try and factor in everything like spawns for weapons, vehicles, and people and where the hill and all that will spawn
    Thanks Rep for the awesome sig

    The one thing that stops me from trying (like a decent invasion slayer game) is there is no control over what is dropped on the checkpoint/territory/hill thingy. for example i would makes sure spartans/elites could spawn *some* of the same reinforcements. but as far as i know there is no way to change any of that.
