    It's a map inspiree by midship from Halo 2, it also has some elements from the Halo 5 reimagining.

    Here is a nice birds eye view of the perfectly symmetrical map.

    An image of Red Two (top level of red base, symmetrical to Blue Two.)[​IMG]

    Another image of Red Two from a seperate angle.[​IMG]

    Outside of red two, as well as a glimpse of the center.[​IMG]

    View of the center from Red Two.

    Close view of the center, as well as Blue One and Two.[​IMG]

    Showing Pink two and three, upper room of Pink tower being Pink two, and roof being Pink Three.

    And image of Pink One, or the bottom level of Pink tower, which has a lift going up to Pink Two.

    Oh and the WIP name is Ascension. ;P

    No but I like halo and it looked cool so I clicked like. (Haven't played halo though. It has something to do with being only for xbox...)

    Ah alrighty, I can tell you though if ever the xbone ends into a price you see as reasonable (a deal or something) the Halo 5 beta was great fun.

    Also I asked, because I'd like some people to help test. xD

    Reminds me of the sort of stuff I used to do in the map maker for TimSplitters many moons ago.

    God, I miss that series. If they ever make another one, it'll be the only reason I buy a console.

    I want to play this so badly but my current PC can't handle it :(

    The map looks pretty neat, although I'm not sure how well it's suited for the movement system. It might be a bit too cramped for fancy high speed maneuvers, but that's obviously just my impresson from looking at the screenshots for about five seconds.

    I can help you with that, there are little console commands to reduce graphics. :)

    I can play this on my crappy PC fine and dandy, (except around blood and other decals) in fact I don't even need all of these.

    cl_gibs_maxcount 1
    r_dynamic_shadows 0 (probably all you'll need)
    r_bloom 0
    r_decals 0 (Will help with blood decal lag)
    r_fxaa 0
    r_dynamic_lights 0 (Very helpful, but may reduce graphic happiness.)

    Edit: So sorry for the alert. @tatsujb , misread the name originally.

    Well, I don't think I stressed enough how crappy my pc actually is: It still uses xp which reflex doesn't even support afaik. I'll definitely get the game once I finally upgrade though. :D

    I've been trying to get some people to give it a go with me, though i will admit I'm not the best at reflex. XD

    Edit: Oh wow, I totally forgot ascension was a thing, meh I'll think up some names, literally just two seconds and thought it up.

    I thought it was intentional the name since it's a play of Halo 2 maps haha. I like it myself man good job.

    Haha, you may think that now, but honestly this is quite a bit more open than many of the official maps. XD

    What gamemode did you have in mind for this map btw.?
    It looks like it'd work best for 2v2 TDM considering the size and the fact that there is a quad (that is a quad, right?) in the middle.
