JoeDannyMan submitted a new map: Ascension - Faithful remake of Halo 2's Ascension Read more about this map...
Very cool man! This is just awesome to see this again in Halo 5 it was one of my favorite maps back in the day. Keep up the great work!
If only some amazing remake-forger could remake that OTHER asymmetrical 4v4 H2 map... *COUGHJOEDANNYCOUGH* Regardless, amazing recreation. The circular steps at tower, and the roundness of the middle bowl were handled perfectly! Oh yeah, +1 for the H2-style teleporter.
I do really like this map, but I must say that you could really bring some color to it. Don't get me wrong, we play it quite often on my customs night. Though you could try the new skybox on parallax and give the pieces some color! The map is very tan and gray. If you don't, that's fine too. As great a job as this is, I know it was your first h5 map, but this forge can be stretched out a lot. Also, as far as the rotating middle, have you tried having them rotate and then have a new one spawn, old one despawn, rotate back, respawn and despawn? Or do the pieces just jumble around? I suppose even setting the timers the same for each piece and not having them welded... They would still act funny.
We still play this in my customs lobby! The only feedback I can give you would be that people in my customs lobby have requested a way to have more color on the map still. The map is great, the gameplay is great, but it still feels like we are playing in an old movie.
Color: He wanted to make it as faithful as possible... and with h2's graphics, that means boring colors everywhere :/ Middle: The physical blocks within the structure itself pop out of place and make it look like a jumbled mess more than a unified structure. When the blocks don't freak out the piece as a whole rotates well but if someone leaves/lags out, the game hits a bad lag spike, or the match ends, the entire center area picks up out of the ground and earthquakes off of the map
Ha, I figured there was scripting issues. The original had more color. With the h5 forge, I really think you can have an accurate remake with having some color. Still great.
