Dissension- A strong disagreement; a contention or quarrel; discord.

Dissension was an idea I've had since Halo 2. Back then my younger brother and I would play a lot of split screen 1v1 but never had an even battle since the maps lacked balance. Even now I haven't been able to play a 1v1 in a balanced map. So I decided to make Dissension.

Dissension is perfect for 1v1 Slayer games. It's a symmetrical map that has two bases on each side where fighting usually takes place. The battles will normally be mid-ranged but things can go close range very quickly in the ground. To promote constant movement and to ensure that the match revolves around controlling the high ground the primary weapons on the map are Battle Rifles and Carbines. There is also a Rocket Launcher in the bottom center of the map and a single mauler on each base.This is to give a secondary goal to players, control of the power weapon and to give players a way to deal with it. There are also plasma grenades in each base in case they are needed for close quarter scenarios.

Due to the maps design camping is almost completely impossible to do since a player atop the bases is fairly easy to spot and a player in the ground
can be seen from atop the bases or by moving around the high ground. However since there's enough cover in the ground a player can still move around
stealthily every once in a while.

There's also 2 teleporters in front of each base but well covered to keep the action unpredictable.

The scenery in the map is all placed with a purpose in mind. It's all to allow the player to get from point A to point B (No pun intended)

It's highly recommeded that this map is played without the use of the motion sensor so that a player moving in the ground can have a better chance at moving around without getting picked off by a player in the high ground.
