    Well, I played on a POS tiny version of pinnacle, and i was all like, 'this R ****'
    So i was like, 'i can make better'
    and then i asked somebody, 'should I make mini pinnacle'
    and they were like, 'eww, bungie's version sucks, make ascension'
    and i was like '**** yeah'

    ask me how hard it is to build a base at 15 degrees, the sattelite, a base at 30 degrees, and a tiny EVERYTHING
    'its ****ing hard'
    'go through with five degree snap on and click every piece, yeah, that just happened'

    Im not done, dont yell at me about all those big aesthetic structures, cuz 'Im not done'

    will play 1v1 and 2v2, weapons will be slightly altered, EX: Rockets are now Grenade Launcher

    So: Punycle/Minnicle/Minnacle/Minicle

    The banshee seems like it would be rather powerful for such a limited number of players. How was it on a test game?

    The map has appropriate killzones that limit the banshee, but not render it useless. It will be in the final version, whether by a custom gametype that dissallows its use, or limited by soft killzones :)

    You cant see it in the picture, but the OS is also in the correct spot;)

    Remove the Banshee to make use of the route to the left. It would be much harder to get to with a Banshee in the way. It looks like it could easily fall off, anyways. I like your use of natural pieces, though. This looks like a good effort so far. Do a 1v1 or 2v2 with me on this map. I'd like to play it. Is the sniper still decently effective, though?

    This looks brilliant, despite the playspace being somewhat limited. I'll definitely download this when it is released. :)

    If you don't build a 1/2 size banshee, you are a COWARD, sir. And if that banshee doesn't somehow still fly and fire banshee bombs, I spit in your general direction.

    (Seriously though, this looks awesome and hilarious. I have a real soft spot for mini-maps, and you're doing really well so far.)

    This is like 2/3 size, not half. It it were half, it wouldn't be playable. (lol)
    This seems like a great idea. I think you should have a magnum start gametype, to simulate a DMR, seeming as you have dmrs for snipes.

    I liked the 1/3 scale one we originally started Rogue, oh well. Then you just had to make this 1/2 scale version by yourself and not even give me credit... Anyways, the banshee is there for shits and giggles, I wouldn't worry about it ruining gameplay guys. It's good to see my "Punycle" name is winning the poll too.

    Hahaha thanks everyone, im super glad you all like it.
    Nutduster: im workin on it, im workin on it :)
    Psycho: 1/2 scale is so so so much easier, and so much more possible ;)
    Soul slasher: put some of the actual pieces next to the map, its 1/2, almist exactly
    4shot: im glad we got a game on it today, but the banshee MUST be there, because it is an ascension remake, not a pinnacle remake, and if i remember correctly:

    The banshee doesn't need to be on there. For balance, it should be removed. The map played below average, which isn't much different from Ascension, and I got an epic ninja backsmack double kill.

    You don't remember correctly. You couldn't even finish the sentence, after all.

    Lol i guess i cant, and of course the map was sub par, first, its a mini version of the map, second, the mini is of ascension, and third: i dont see how it remotley efdects balance because the gametyoe we played in didnt allow it to be used...
    but that said, stop flaming my threads, its not appreciated.

    The Banshee, if entered, could give a worse player many kills and undeserved map control. That's not balanced at all. It's made worse by the fact that it is smaller than Ascension.

    I'm flaming your threads because I have a different opinion? Pretty typical view for a forum, and never a valid one.

    Hahahahahahahahahahah, why dont u read what i wrote you troll, i guess you were all like "tl;dr". THE BANSHEE CANNOT, AND WAS NOT USED!!!!!

    The gametype setting are like this: "vehicle use: 'none' "

    EDIT: here is a DL link, but be warned, its the version with the 15degree snap on :)
    The full version will be up within 24 hours, so be patient if you wanna see the pristine version, not the **** version (this version shows how much rotation by hand there was :/ )

    I don't use custom gametypes. Sorry. Ascension was a mediocre map, so if you are going to remake it, I expect it to work with default gametypes, as I do with any maps other than Octagon, Minigames, Invasion maps, Race maps, and Infection maps.

    That troll thing is getting a little old. I'm not trolling you, you're simply blinding yourself to that illusion. I'm giving my honest opinion, and my honest opinion is that this map is below average at best. I didn't like it. It's a good concept, but it needs a lot of work. I'm sure you'll get that work done before the intended release.

    Looove it. Seriously this liitle thing is absolutely creative and very innovative. I played on it and the gameplay was even more fun the the original pinnacle. Great work man.

    Oh. My. God. He. Said. It. Didnt. Take. Skill!!!
    Lol, bro, download the version in my file share, every piece has been seleced with 15 degree snap in that version. Yeah, almost every incline is moved, and yeah, i rotated every single piece by hand :)

    Try and move a single piece back perfectly into place, and then do that for all of them, then come back and say that was easy...

    That takes time, but you had the design right in front of you. You didn't need to put any of your ideas in there. This wasn't creative at all. This is just the type of map we see every day at Forgehub. A remake that gets maybe a couple posts and then gets pushed back three pages where it belongs. I see no reason to play this when I could play the much better default Ascension, which was still a terrible map. If you're going to remake something, I'd recommend doing something that played well in the original. The fact is, this was just a waste of your time and talent.

    Very interesting concept, I've seen a couple of "mini" recreations over the years, and they tend to not work very well. lol.

    I'll make sure to check it out sometime, whenever I get back on my box
