Shadowed Sands




Creator: T4K Shadow (Destroyer7793)

Map: Skybubble, Sandbox

Players: 1-8

Gametypes: Any RACETRACK varients

Budget remaining: $0

Time Taken: Around 12 hours (ish)

Shadowed Sands in my latest, and best racetrack. After finally learning how to do banked turns smoothly (but not as smooth as ShaddoBlades) I worked on this track. It features several banked turns, a smooth rising hill. One of the main aspects of this track while I was building it was aesthetics, I've seen so many awesome track, without any aesthetics, for me, aesthetics play a big part in racetracks. ALthough its not the longest racetrack in Halo history, it isnt the shortest.
Okay, now that the description is out of the way, its time for the pictures, huray!

Overviews:


Start:

First tunnel:

First banked turn:

Rising Hill:

The circle turn: (My favourite)

Hill drop down to Kinda straightaway:

Last banked turn and finish:

Underview: (looks wierd, I know)


Action Screenshots:





Thanks for viewing Shadowed Sands. Please feel free to give feedback, as it is greatly appreciated.
Tips: On the circle turn, use the shield dorrs to you advantage.

Special Thanks:

Thanks. That blue circle structure is 4 corner small interlocked from each corner. I think it looks awesome. And I'm sorry to hear that, I remember when I had that, then I got a new one, yay.

Awesome map. The aesthetic additions are very cool. I'll be the first to say it, the underview looks like a curvy penis =p. Well done, man.

Very nice! Now if only I had the patience to make maps like this... I have some killer Ideas...

My monitor uses pure Banergy to move objects... I guess thats why nothing ever gets done...

track looks cool and smooth,but the warthogs ruined it. They can just ram the mongooses off the track easily.

First off, I love these types of race maps, but the tracks all seem the same to me due to lack of aesthetics. Yours on the other hand has an extreme amount of originality. I absolutely LOVE the tunnel and the centerpiece within each loop. Truly Feature worthy!

Got Maps?
