Compiler Error CS0622

After running the compiler I got this error, treehouse:~/workspace$ mcs -out:TreehouseDefense.exe *.cs
Game.cs(13,32): error CS0622: Can only use array initializer expressions to assign to array types. Try using a new expression instead
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

here's my code,

 try
          {
            MapLocation path = {
              new MapLocation(0,2,map),
              new MapLocation(1,2,map),
              new MapLocation(2,2,map),
              new MapLocation(3,2,map),
              new MapLocation(4,2,map),
              new MapLocation(5,2,map),
              new MapLocation(6,2,map),
              new MapLocation(7,2,map)
            };
          }
          catch(OutOfBoundsException ex)
          {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
          }
          catch (TreehouseDefenseException)
          {
            Console.WriteLine("Unhandled TreehouseDefenseException");
          }
          catch(Exception)
          {
            Console.WriteLine("Unhandled Exception");
          }

You probably intended to declare an array of "MapLocation" objects instead of just one:

            MapLocation[] path = {    // note that brackets [] indicate an array
