Acsension remake: ASCENDING OPEN FOR TESTING Created by HunTedMeat & Co-forged by Pixie Dust This map has been in the making for quite a while and I just want to show it to the community just for some feed back and to see if there is anything that Pixie Dust and I may want to work on or improve. This map as you can tell is a remake of the popular Halo 2 map Ascension and this is supposed to be a 1:1 scale remake of the map but due to money problems, it has been scaled down to 7:10 scale. For those of you who don't know 5th grade Math, it means that this map is slightly smaller than the original. Now, this map is also going to be entered into the Forgotten Treasures map contest and I don't think that asking for suggestions from the public is against the rules......I think....... The map pretty much has the same weapons as the original except that the rocket has been switched with the laser and there is equipment on the map.Other than that, there should not be any changes to the weapon loadout. Ok, time for the pictures cause describing the map just ain't good enough apparently........ Overview of the map (spot the tin cups?) Another overview Banshee spawn and banshee(duh?) Small sniper tower The center structure. Sorry, it does not spin.=( Shotgun spawn Teleporter from missile pod spawn and bottom of shotgun spawn+ ramps to small tower Missile pod spawn Needler spawn (sniper side) The main tower The creator(Me) and the co-creator/forger (Pixie Dust) THE MAP IS ALMOST DONE THESE ARE THE NEW UPDATED PICTURES!!!! MAP WILL BE POSTED IN THE COMPETITIVE SECTION WHEN IT IS ALL DONE. Thanks for readin! NOTE TO ALL READERS: IF YOU WANT TO PLAY TEST THIS, SEND A MESSAGE TO PIXIE DUST.
Switching the rockets for the laser was a good idea considering the rcokets locked on to vehicles in Halo 2 so it was the best weapon to balance the banshee. Still need to put the power up on the bridge and the rest of the tower but I'm liking it so far!
This looks really good, especially the middle with the three little towers. anyways, i like how you're doing this remake, but good luck on the huge tower Also: Adding some cover would be good in the middlish area.
This map looks ridiculously awesome, make sure you spend time making it as good as it can be. So far it looks extremely similar to Ascension, I can't wait to see it when it's done. And I agree with the laser in the weapon holder thing... it just doesn't look right.
this looks great! im unsure of the wood bridges and how they look, but id understand the need for them when it comes to materials. I'd like to see some old school Halo 2 tower of power on this guy when it's done
Overall I'm liking what I see, but I have to disagree with the above statement. In fact, I think that laser OVERbalances the banshee. This is for two main reasons. 1. Laser is INCREDIBLY accurate on larger targets and the only thing that can interfere with a shot is an object in the way. 2. Laser can also be used very effectively on infantry. Instead of a laser to combat the banshee, may I suggest a missile pod with a rather high respawn time? Oh, and I'd love to help you construct this if you would be interested.
Yes. That would be a much better idea. The map so far looks amazing, though. And I love how you used Obelisks for the Spinning-thingy, even though on this version of Ascension, it doesn't spin.
Looking good so far! It's the best ascension remake I've seen, so congrats on that, but nothing will ever be as good as the original. There just isn't enough budget. Oh well though, I'm sure this is going to turn out really well. You've got my download when the map is finished. EDIT: As someone else said, maybe a missile pod would work better than the laser.
Loved To See how This Map turns out after it is finished. right now after what i Saw i give it a 5/5 remake. I will donwload after it is finished. nice job dude.
Let me put it this way: The floor of the splazer spawn is green+the splazer is green = you can't see the splazer. Yeah I think that would be a good idea. I'll ask Pixie Dust to switch it out for the rockets or something.Thanks. Oh and if you want to help just send me a PM or visitor message.
So this is finished?... But, you are missing so much like where is the main base part even or the turret or the walkway leading up to it from the left? It should look pretty much the exact same as the 1 on Guardian since that was a "spiritual successor" to it.
perhaps the title map PREVIEW: assension remake can answer your question. The map looks very well made! you'll have a dl when done. I also agree that a missile pod would be more suitable than a splazer
So far a very faithful remake. I like it very much. Though I do have a complaint and an agreement. I really agree with the whole splazer/rocket pod thingy. My complaint is that the little town isn't high enough. It barely comes off the ground compared to the original! If its because of budget cutbacks I can understand, but if you can squeeze it, I'd say do it. Good job so far, when you get it done you'll have my DL for sure... EDIT: TSB, your math doesn't add up quite right, if I combine your scorings his map is an Epic Fail! lolz...
