Sandbox (race)

Hi and welocme to my first mongoose racing map. If you dont know what this is its a rocket racing map. I know what your thinking "rocket racing is soooo boring" well this one isnt. Many hours of work has gone into this map along with a good hour or two of testing. The map is in the main area of Sandbox containing starting points for 4 teams of two along with 8 VIP spots in which you must race to.

Not familiar with Rocket Racing?

Rocket racing is a VIP racing map containing 4 teams of 2. All teams are equiped with mongooses, these will serve as transportation for the teams. On each team, one person with be the VIP, the other will not. The job for the non-VIP is to drive his VIP to the destinations before anyone else. The job for the VIP is to stay on the mongoose and make sure nobody gets to the destinations other then you! This is were rockets come in. All players will be equiped with rockets, the rockets main purpose is to knock down the other players and get them out of your way! The game sounds simple but rockets can be used for more then just shooting oponents, you can also you the rockets to better help you and your partner get to the destinations. Thats the basic concept of the game, oh yea, 10 points to win ^^.

Now that i have cleared up the basic description of the game, onto the map. Unlike other boring rocket racing maps in matckmaking, this map contains turns, jumps, ramps and explosions like you have never seen before.

Strategies for the Map

Due to the fact that most rocket racing map are on very, very big maps, i really had to think about what i was forging. I made some parts on the map more open then other, mainly for stradegies. One of the main stradegies that me and my friend like to use is the classic "rocket boost" This will help alot, but you need to be in the right place and shoot at the right time. If you dont know how to do this, just get you VIP partner to look down when you are driving, then just tell them to shoot the rocket, and you go flying, just hope you stick the landing. Another great way to get around is by the objects around you. On the map you will notice there being ramps, shield doors, etc. You can really use there for a good speed up or boost to get ahead of you opponent.

Too bad words can only explain so much... Which is why i will move on to the pics!
