ROCK AND ROLL on Foundry

Gametype

Description: An offroad-style track that's nearly all double-wide (small single wide due to track overlap but doesn't affect gameplay too much) featuring neat interlocking, a geomerged Fence Box, a banked curve, a jump ALL THE WAY over Foundry to a perfect-every-time (unless you're Masta and you TRY to mess it up) landing zone. The finish line is (hopefully and supposedly) cheat-proof. Extra cheat-proofing in progress, but if I update the FileShare I'll lose the link because Bungie is giving me the login error. Overall really fun map with delayed start and a good mix of speed and stunts. This map shows nearly every trick and ability a forger can have, even though I (stupidly) forgot to take up the rest of Foundry. I could have, but it'd only add a few seconds on to the lap time and I wouldn't be able to add many more stunts or anything. Enjoy. Recommended laps: 15+.

--Racing Tips--

- Skipping the jumps in the back can save you time, but if you're not careful you'll tip over.
- Powerslide only in the big areas... you don't want to crash into the wall. Maintaining control is important for speed.
- Hit the jumps at as best angles you can. It'll save speed and time.
- Going on the banked curve can maintain speed, but staying off is shorter. The choice is yours.

Testimonials:

Great, smooth track with excellent interlocking. The mancannon across the map is perfect. It is completely uncheatable and double wide. The 180 bank before the objective is a little pointless because you usually drive next to it and not on it. But it is still great if you go on it. I like the off road stlye with all the jumps etc. This is a great track that shows you've lerned how to forge.

Wow, you really nailed that banked turn. I knew that if you tried this something awesome would come out.

HOTSEAT:

What inspired your creation? Mostly force in order to be able to host the Skill is the Game tournament. I didn't expect it to go so quick, but that was way cool. After I started with it, I remembered that I wanted someone to make an offroad track, so I just made one myself. My love of long tracks and jumps sort of took it from there. The man cannon is a result of my want to make something new in most of my tracks.

How long did it take to create? Only a day :D. A few hours for each big section (with refining and whatnot). Final touches just in time for midnight. Lol. It turned out really well.

What aspect took the longest to get right? Definitely the first 180 bank made of double-walls. Maybe the banked turn. They each took about a half hour. The rest was pretty simple. It doesn't take boxed-in tracks and aesthetics to make an amazing map, you just have to work hard and make it fun. :D (Don't fall off-- nothing in the map is advantageous even if you do something out of turn.)
