Valley of Fear

[Seaboro Kibbles]

This ghost racetrack will kick you in the face. Trust me, I’ve see it.

This is the Valley of Fear, my racetrack that uses ghosts. That's right, ghosts. After almost a years of experimenting with ghosts, I've come to a conclusion, they kick ass.

Overview

(it was difficult capturing all the terrain in one shot)

The Jump

I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that this is the biggest, non gravity altered, jump in Halo 3. And negotiably the funnest.

An interesting angle

"They look so small from up here"

The jump's lip is flat, which is unusual, considering the distance achieved. Keep straight, and boost.

This is the fun part

The landing can be tricky, land flat and don't use boost or you'll fly off.

The Other Jump

Powered my three man-cannons, this is a jump worth watching out for.

The jump flies you over to what us snowboarders call a hip. This is a slanted landing which softens the land and involuntarily turns and speeds in the direction of the slant. This can be very tricky, as you can see in the picture below, it is good if you go off the jump straight, and land flat or slightly on your nose.

A view of both jumps, with a blue tinge from the cannon.

The Rest

Immediately after the the last jump the track shoots up to ~70 degrees, which is tricky because the ghost tends to overturn. Keep steady and you will reach the rainbow wallride.

The Rainbow Wall Ride is one of my favorite parts, it really gives a sense of weightlessness.

After that is a banked turn and a little hill and your at the big finale. Watch out, falling of at this point isn't very forgiving.

More Screanshots!

Disclaimer

I was infracted because i posted the rest of the pictures as the first post because of the picture max. Apparently this is a double post so that post with the extra pictures was deleted. I solved this problem by merging some on the pictures together, so the twenty picture max is met but you still get to see this map fully.

When i say that this map has the biggest un-gravitty-altered jump in Halo 3, i am basing this fact on what i have seen, if you know a bigger jump, please post and i will re-word myself.

I am not a racetrack fan, i like building them, not racing them. This is very low on the list of my favorite custom games, but it is my favorite racetrack.

Haha, YES! I love these kinds of maps! The merging is smooth and that jump looks pretty epic. I wil DL and play when my 360 is fixed :)
Oh and you sould put that disclaimer on the first post I think.

This map looks amazing. I love the jump as it reminds me of the vidmaster achievment. The map seems a bit hard but looks fun.

nice racing map, it looks really cool! people usually avoid jumps because they make the map "unrace-able" but they're so much fun!

This is crazy-cool man. The first "real" ghost racetrack I have seen thus far.
I downloaded for coolness.

I just played it and it is rad-awesome! The 70 degree part of the track on prowlers is tubular!

This map is just plain awesome, it might just be me but the map seems very similar to one you would see in an f-zero game.
You have the fast "cars", insane jumps and some crazy turns.
Good work

...the map seems very similar to one you would see in an f-zero game.

Wow! I was going to call it F-Zero, that was my second pick. Are you some kind of geenie?

...Did you do anything to it to make it drive-able or did you just test the different angles because the ghost can tolerate them?

I'm not sure what you meen, but I'll take a swing. The ghost, along with the scorpion (thats right), prowler, and the chopper (in boost) can reach inclines of about 75 degrees if the surface is smooth and the ramp has a large enough radius. Another map that is in the making (it's been literaly a year) i got the ghost completely verticle, 90 degrees. I kept the slope in Valley of Fear low for playability.

...Just a question though would it work for mongeese? If so I would recomend putting both mongeese and ghosts on the track. Anyways amazing dude.

mongeese are can race on the flat ground, until they reach the man-cannon jump which it's rare they actualy stays on the track. From that point on, it's impossible. A prowler and even a scorpion would have a better chance. (and i think they are both in the map)

you sould put that disclaimer on the first post I think

They deleted my second post, so i don't have much of a choice.

keep fireing the questions!

This race track is EPIC WINSAUCE! This map actually requires skill, unlike some other that just make you drive around for a bit, i've never played a racemap except for once where everyone assassinated each other, and i dled! nice!

[Stoj]

The 70 degree wall is insane, honestly. Did you do anything to it to make it drive-able or did you just test the different angles because the ghost can tolerate them?

This is absolutely amazing. At first I'm like "Here we go, a Ghost racetrack," but this is jaw dropping. It looks like so much fun. The cheat-proof finish is really creative, haven't seen anything like it.

I personally like the name F-Zero better, but great map either way. 10/10
