Elevation is a remake of the Halo 2 map, Ascension. I started construction a while ago, when a friend asked me to start a game of classic Halo 2 Tower of Power (see below). I looked around for an Ascension remake for almost 5 MINUTES and couldn't find one. So, I decided to make on myself. It was built on Foundry, so space was limited and I had to miniaturise it a bit, but it still plays similarly, and veteran Halo 2 players will instantly recognise it.
Update Notes
V1.11:
-This only applies to Elevation Hill and Tower of Power.
-Fixed part of the the map was not covered by the hill.
-Upgraded Tower of Power to the newer, upsidedown box version.
V1.1:
-I turned the boxes upsidedown, to make the floor smoother and cleaner.
-I fixed some spawn points, which ruined the game for everyone. I updated Elevation Hill as well. I strongly recommend DLing this update if you have the original

So, whats new?
-Well, as for weapons, I put in some Assault Rifles, and added a couple of extra Battle Rifles.
-I replaced a needler and some Plasma grenades with a Spiker and Spike grenades. There is another spiker somewhere else in the level.
-Height was limited, so I redesigned the old Rocket spawn area. The Rocket Launcher now spawns where the Banshee used to.
-Instead of an Overshield, there is now a Bubble Shield. Other equipment on the map includes a Grav Lift and Deployable Cover.
-If you fall off, you must either jump on to a low part of the level, or use one of theman cannons or teleporters. I know this isn't the perfect solution, but there is sort of a way around it (see Variations).
-Because of the map's size, I have changed some objective locations. I am happy to say that all game types are supported.
Other than that, I have tried to stay as faithful to Ascension as possible. I used various resources such as the Halo 2 strategy guide, to ensure that weapon, objective and even player spawns are close to the original. A pictures say a thousand words, so here, have some:

Variations:
Elevation Hill
If you plan on playing FFA Slayer, I would recommend using this one. Using this KotH game type, the hill will surround all of the Ascension part of the map. You earn points by killing just like in a normal Slayer game, but ifyou stray outside of the hill, you shield will decay. I don't recommend using this method for Team Slayer though, because betrayals still count as kills. OMG BUNGEE FICKS I7!!. Thanks to Forge Hub for this little trick.
Tower of Power
Anyonw who played Halo 2 online will remember this. It also may work for infection. I recommend using a slayer game type with no shields, grenades or sensors, and Shotguns only. This will do. PS: Removing the turret makes you a horrible person.
