Banshee Bundle (Banshee Racing!)

Banshee Bundle

Made by Prodigious 7k.


Banshee Bundle is a very fun race map for banshees on the ground floor of sandbox. I had the idea when looking at Airshow by anus lad. He gave me permission to use the idea to make a map of the same style as his, so i did and here it is. I wanted to make this because his track (if you can call it that) was not structured at all, and all the scenery made crashing common so the play was very stop start. Also because it was in the skybubble you would find yourself dying for no reason while flying (because of the floor of the skybubble), this made gameplay very difficult.

My map is different because:
  • It is on the floor level with the guardians OFF so you cannot randomly die.
  • It follows a structured path which is fun.
  • It has very little scenery, although you could say i did not do much to the map, the map works better this way and gameplay is what counts.
  • All the points are the same and there are no annoying obsticles which hindered you more than helping gameplay in anus lad's version.
Skipping sections of the track is not cheating, it is intended so people behind can quickly get back into the game, making it fun for everyone, as opposed to mongoose racetracks where if you fall off, thats it for you unless someone else falls off.

As with all racetrack maps everyone needs to be on separate teams. The maximum number of players is 4 because of the number of banshees available. Sorry.

Details for the Gametype:



This map is intended as a first version and if it goes down well i will experement with more complex designs.


Here is an overview of the map:


Here are the spawns:


And here are some random shots of gameplay:




Thanks for reading, i hope you download this map, the links are below. Please comment, i want as much feedback as possible because i want to know if i should experiment with a version 2.
