Teamwork means staying out of my way.

Ascension because its the most unbalanced map without an objective. Picture this game. Team Slayer 4v4. 2 people have snipers, 1 has rockets and the fourth has the banshee. How can you hope to ever overcome those odds on a map thats so wide open you will get sniped if you try anything and banshee'd if you try to hide. Keep it in Team Skirmish but out to Team Slayer.

You would have to be the stupidest person alive to let that happen...

Not if everybody spawns on the sniper tower and for some reason they have 2 spawn on banshee and two spawn at little tower. That's banshee, rockets, and one sniper right off the bat. Their sniper picks off yours and and viola, they could take it.

Those are pretty small odds.

Not like rockets is the only weapon that can take out the banshee. Plus the sniper respawns, if you get sniped from their tower and die you can pick it up again.

I don't feel like text fighting at the momment so I'm goin' leave....

Elongation, just because I hate it.

That's a good enough justification for me.

I would actually like Tombstone to be removed, not because I dislike it, but because it's like a sacred map and I would much rather just play it with people I know. Mainly LANs good old 1 Flag CTF's and stuff.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

No need to fight, but Xander is right. I've had it happen far too often to be any fun. Exactly that spawn pattern described by Xander happens quite a lot, actually. And once there's a sniper each at big and small tower, a banshee flying around, and another guy with the RL and most likely a BR, you'll either keep spawning at the banshee platform or in the middle of the map with the oh-so-great Stupid Miserable Gun. You're doomed. End of story.

Of course it also happens that my team gets the lucky spawn and we totally dominate the other team. But neither way is fun, thus I voted for Ascention.

I've been getting quite a lot of Team Slayer BR on Ascension, so it shouldn't be that hard to get back some of the weapons.

It's just a matter of team-shooting and just getting the Snipers out of their scope.

Plus, the spawns (in my experiences) go Banshee Pad - Shotgun area or Big Tower - Small Tower. Either way, one team can't get all the weapons unless the opposing team's defense is terrible. In which case, they would probably lose anyways.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Beaver Creek is noob comblo-licious, it needs removed.

Caged - X13

Elongation.

It's the only map that ALWAYS seems to lag for me, no matter what game mode I'm on or who's playing. It's annoying too. Everyone either has the shotgun, brute shot, or newb combos nonstop. Not enough weapons.

True, it's not that bad with BR starts. But Ascension is still the map with the worst spawns.

Its G-A-C! not GACK! Although gack is some awsome stuff.

Bungie patch the Plasma Pistol to a 15 shot kill when shot normally plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Ascension for sure. Who ever has the snipers wins. AND YES i know there is a chance for resistance but at higher levels when your team is spawning at banshee pad and the other team has even one snipe on little tower it's (almost) impossible to fight back. Notice I said almost, I know there are many ways to retaliate but its rather difficult.
