1f:T671,

This is my third attempt at seriously working with Forge, and what I would consider my first successful Rocket Race map design utilizing custom geometry. In the past I had only used Forge for adjusting destination parameters, due to the fact that the terrain on the standard maps was so excellent for Rocket Race.

I intended to create a floating tier that was accessible from the ground, as well as through the air via a somewhat risky shortcut. I tend to enjoy maps where there is a bit of a gamble involved at times, such as the cliff destination on Standoff. I attempted to create the geometry in an accessible manner while keeping the design compact, as fluidity is paramount for a viable Rocket Race map.

In the past I have disliked most efforts to create halotrack style structures for Rocket Race gameplay, as I consider them to serve as bottlenecks that hinder the pace of the game, requiring a one way solution. I attempted to avoid this by utilizing a symmetrical design, allowing for the drivers to approach the far ramps from either end of the playing field or attempt a mancannon boost from four sides of the central tier.
