Spear Raid is a new map that I will be starting today. It's inspired by the map Spire from Halo: Reach, and will be similar to it. In this thread I will be updating the progress of the map through stages and keep it all in the first post.

Stage 1: Planning Stage

Right now the map is still in planning stage. I plan for the map to be similar to Spire, and will be using this picture as a reference.

The top portion of the map (The spawning area) will be pretty much the same. I plan for their to be 2 main structure's in the map, where most of the battles will take place.

The 2 structure's will be in the middle of the map, they won't be in the dead center, but rather off to the side. They won't be too close to each other either, there'll be a good distance between them.

The bottom part of the map will nearly identical to the top side, with the addition of a couple small scenery details.

So, pretty much everything's planned out, so I can begin modeling the basic features of the map.

Now, about some other details, what do you guys think the 2 structure's should be? And what do you think of the design so far?

Maybe, depends on which structure I use. I want them to be big though, so there's a good chance that one of them will be. Maybe I could have something like an old abandoned Super Scarab, or (more likely) some kind of forerunner tower.

Scarab that has been crushed while mining in and around a forerunner structure, allowing access to the structure itself via the scarab?
