Pre-DLC Narrows Speed

lefty0904 · 03-31-2009

I've been working on a couple of complicated maps lately, so i decided to take a break from that and play some Rocket Race. I played that for a while, and then i started thinking about what other maps could be used for Rocket Race. Narrows seemed like it might work, so i set it up and me and a couple friends tried it out. And something suprising happened...it was AMAZING! We played it for a couple hours and never even came close to being bored with it. So I decided I would share it with the world.

Oh and one more thing...I almost feel bad about posting this because of the complete lack of forging techniques. Basically all I did was erase everything on the map, add mongooses, and set up the spawns and destination points. This is probably the most casual map you will see. I normally wouldn't post something like this but I enjoyed it so much. I'll throw up a couple pictures, but they don't really show anything because it's rocket race. Also, the mongoose spawns and destinations are basically symmetrical.

First team spawn

Second team spawn

Third team spawn (4th team spawns on the opposite side)

The destinations are basically all over the place and pictures wouldn't really help you see that so...yea. Again, I know no forging was involved, but if you want to flame it, please just try it out first. Have fun!

I like that someone actually did this. I havn't seen a race map on narrows and I really hope that you can get on the grav lifts during gameplay to get to different destinations. You could have done more work to it I guess, like added aesthetics or something unique to it rather than just adding mongooses and deleting everything off the map, but I guess what you have works.

Wow, I never would have guessed that this would be thought of. This is pretty dang out there. I give you props on making this happen and hope this becomes a hit lol.

Ummm I dunno if im goin to download only because im not a big fan of rocketrace.

4/5 for originality

okay why would you make a racetrack on a pre DLC map that is just terrible! im sorry but this is really L-A-M-E

Well...I hate narrows. And I'm really not to sure about Rocket Race. I mean, the whole map is basically a huge narrow corridor. Thus the name. But, I don't know, I reckon it could be fun, so...6/10.

Instead of bitching, maybe you could offer advice. I've got half a mind to report you for spam. Actually, I might do that.

this seems like it would be a little fun, but add like grav lifts and stuff to add more fun, or just try to add stuff. Anyone could make this. But few would ever think of this, so i give 3.5/5. Add stuff

So...when the map came out has something to do with how good it is? I made it because nobody else had. It's actually a lot of fun. But hey thanks for adding a comment that had absolutely nothing to do with the map

You actually don't fall off the edge that much. Almost everywhere on the map there are little walls that keep it from happening. You can knock other players off the map, but there are 2 extra mongooses set up so that you respawn next to them.

Very nice idea on your part, lefty. xNx21x that was rude, and most of all stupid.

Add some aesthetics to the map, it is far too plane, but other than that, nice idea. Better than the air vehicles on Construct thing I tried once anyways. (4 hornets ftw!)

3.5/5
