maps: Ascension

Ascension is a station that was built to help run Delta halo.It has a rocky structure surrounding the dish which is located in the center of the map.Watch out,most people blindly fall from the stations large perch,the drop surrounds the hole level.The dish in the center has three spires that protrude upwards from the dish that rotate back and forth,using this as an advantage you can take cover as you make your way to either base located on both ends of the map.

Ascension is quite an open map, with routes around the circumference being situated lower down than the main portion. Good snipers tend to prosper on this map as a result.There are two snipers located very close to each base,on the bigger base down the walkway before the entrance there is a new walkway that is slanted,you will find one of the snips there.On the other side of the map there is a small "base" basically a snipper perch.The other snip is located down the walkway behind the base.

A pathway leads off another direction to a platform containing a Banshee, along with a slightly more covert route to the larger sniper tower that also contains an Overshield.Down slightly from the beginning of this pathway is another platform from which you can jump to collect the powerful Rocket Launcher, though a leap of faith is required as you can't see the platform until you're over the edge. Once you get down there, you can either go through the teleport to the shotgun or move into the gravity stream for a huge boost back up into the central dish.

If you are in a oddball or king of the hill game type the Oddball/hill is located in the center of the dish .
