Sandbox High Rise - Ascension Remake

Is there any weapon that will take down the banshee (i.e. a splazer, missle pod, or rocket)?

 

Ok, did you include the pad you jump down onto where the rockets used to be in Ascension?

 

Nice map. The design looks okay and the layout seems to be smooth, I like the use of the banshee and like Vinco Onmia said do you have any powerful weapon capable of taking the banshee down. And for future reference when submitting a map please indicate what weapons, vehicles, power-ups and iventory items you have placed on the map so everyone knows what you have on it rather than just looking at the pics and figuring out for themselfs. Good job by the way.

 

So far, this is the best ascension remake I have seen. However, I would have to say that I can easily see one coming out that is much more like the original than this one. It just seems too boxy in the places that shouldn't be, because those are the areas that are needed most to play like the original.

 

this is a fun map to play on, but it's gameplay is nothing like that of ascension. I myself have been working on an ascension remake since the release of the mythic maps with HWLCE. It won't be finished for a while yet though.

 

i agree with crooked, it looks a little boxy where it shouldn't be. i know this is your first map, but do you know how to merge? you can use that to round out some areas.

it overall looks like a very solid remake, it's definitely the first recreation i saw of ascension [there may be one, but idfk]. i will download this and tell you way you can improve your map once i get a better idea of it.

 

This is the best Ascension remake I've seen so far, but I have some things to point out (mostly about Geometry, easily fixable for a v2). The small tower is supposed to be parallel to the large tower and the ramp from the banshee to the large tower is supposed to be a straight line, not an L, so that the players can jump from the little protruding wall from the main structure onto the catwalk (fixing this will also save you budget for other corrections OR even let you place objective spawns).
There are a couple of leveling issues as well(such as the Sniper at small tower and most obviously the Rocket "island"), but overall I would say that this is a good remake, just keep those things in mind if you intend to make a v2.

EDIT: Also, if you delete the columns used as railing around the Overshield ramp (after making it straight of course) you will get a lot of budget and objects back. This railing is not really necessary and I think it will add to how the map plays (players will have to protect themselves from others as well as watch where they step while going for the Overshield).

 

Just an idea, but it might be a good Idea to replace one of the snipers with a Splaser.

 

I wouldn't say it's a remake. This is more of an alternative. There is another map someone made that is much more of a remake. No harm intended, but this map still is cool i guess.

 

I was thinking that you could move the rocket island far away from the main structure so that jumping the mancannon will just barely get you back to the middle. But then it would be a necessity to use teleporters, which I'm not really against if you ultimately have the budget to do so. Either way, the point is to make it more difficult to grab the rocket launcher in a way at least similar to Halo 2.

 

This is the best remake of it yet, though it seems to boxy and changes game play significantly. Though a remake will never have the exact game play of its original I think you could of done a better job... If you're doing a V2 I'd recommend making the walk way from the big tower to banshee pad slanted like the original map. Make the small tower less crooked, and change the ramp where the sniper spawns at the small tower to be less boxy, use interlocking if you must. Other then that, it's still the best remake out, I am hoping for a V2.

 

looks really cool, and faithful to the original. have you tried tower of power yet?

 

I would replace the rockets with a laser. In H2 the rockets were the main anti vehical weapon. I played a small FFA on it last night. I thought it looked and played pretty good. The Banshee was just a bit overpowerd without a laser or something to balance it. Good job overall.

 

Looks really good, but as mentioned above, the gameplay doesn't feel right at all. It feels like I'm playing on a custom sandbox map, not Ascension. Also, one of my favorite things to do was climb up the pillars in the center, and snipe from up there. Although it is impossible to make them rotate using your limited resources, I still think that you should make them much taller and climbable.
