Truly Amazing!
Excellent Job Dude!
This will without doubt, provide many hours of fun, and great racing!
Its well interlocked, and has a good design, will come back in a moment with final review (Y) :D

After A few laps :) I can say its a good map; the simplicity adds much fun, and the banked turns are great (Y)

I give it 4.9/5
With the sole fact that the Grav lift at spawn 'slows you down'
Other than that :D
Its quite awesome :)
Whats with the needler :?

Thanks for the review and for downloading and playing it. That's a rarity these days. The grav lift was something I was iffy about, because it looks out of place, but it is in there because 1 out of maybe 20 times you will land badly for no apparent reason after hitting the checkpoint, and the grav lift helps you keep control if that happens. It doesn't spawn at start, so you won't be encumbered by it then. Only if you have to restart will it really slow you down. The needler is one of the weapons placed on the map for Battletracks races. I placed the weapons so that you wouldn't notice them or the weapon holders if you do Racetracks or other variants with No Weapons On Map.

Thanks. I'm assuming you mean the screenshot and not the logo... I just wanted to throw one in showing what happens if you walk through the checkpoint (you get sent to a receiver node hanging out in the dunes and hafta free fall until the out-of-bounds lasers shoot you. As it turns out, they aren't very accurate at this range. I've made it to the ground and jumped a couple times before getting killed.) Hope that answered your question.

Nice job Blade! I had no idea that you were working on a track. It looks very nice from the pics. I have just qued for DL. I will have to come back and edit my post for some direct comments. The layout and the banked sections look amazing. Nice pics. I can't wait to try it..

Wow.
Wow.
I'm just speechless.
This is has to be the first racing map that has caught my eye since summer.
I love the curves and the overall flow of everything, it really reminds me of a roller coaster, just so nice looking (cough kinda like me cough)!

GREAT!!!
Overall: 9/10

Thanks a lot. I look forward to your review. It'll mean a lot coming from you. And, please, call me Shaddo.

Since summer, really? There have been SO many good ones. You must not be looking hard enough. Anyways... glad you like my track. I spent a lot of time on it, and it's still not as good as I would like it, but I'll save that thought for my next work. And you should prolly get some meds for that cough. Could be contagious.

Ive played a similar racetrack but on the floor of sandbox this is more fun being in the skybox. Good job. Love any race track really :p

toasted kittuns · 03-18-2009

wow, the only thing i could think of when i saw this map was "lolwut?"

this truly is the best race map since accelerator, way back last summer on foundry. i give you immense kudos to making a map of this caliber. i've been waiting for a race like this for a long time. actually, the last map i saw like this was the original foundry racetrack [with no merging and played like a rollercoaster]. feature, you deserve it.

Yeah, AnF Knight's map Paramount has the same feel as mine. I was kinda bummed to see him post it when I was getting close to completion on mine. Oh well, now you have two awesome roller coasters to race on.

Accelerator was an excellent map, although I am more partial towards Accelatron (still on my hard drive). Is Bungie 500 the original Foundry track you speak of? It was the first I ever saw. Feature? I doubt it. There are a lot of more deserving forgers out there than me. Thanks for the compliment though.
