Ascent seems like a forgotten, but cool map by 343 that I’ve never heard or read anyone discuss before. It’s an on disc variant of Erosion for those who didn’t know. It’s forgotten-ness makes me really want to play a game on it to see what it’s like. Have you ever played a game on it?
Looking at it in Forge, I never saw it being able to play well for anything at all. It looks like someone took a bunch of objects and just placed them around the map.
We have much better maps built by the community that can be used instead of Ascent.
You guys want to get together and try it maybe?
I played a two on two match with some friends their. It is the worst map, as one team spawns at the top of the hill, while the other team spawns at the bottom.
It was waaaaaay to unbalanced…
Like what Gemini said, one team spawned above… The other below…
If we can all remember High Ground from Halo 3…
It was a great map, it never got old…
But there is one difference between High Ground and Ascent,
High Ground had several obstacles that kept the higher team from dominating.
Everyone spawned with an Assault Rifle in Halo 3, there was no cross mapping…
Asymmetrical Maps are nearly useless now with everyone using the DMR.
Ascent also happens to be very UGLY in appearance.
