Description: Hello! This is GOTCHA XD or formerly known as Blade Monkey751. Some you may remember my map Accelerator from Halo 3, or some of you may not. Anyways in Halo 3 Accelerator was one of the first double wide Racetracks ever, to my knowledge the only double wide tracks before it was Wall-Rider by c u l8er and Killer200o, and Zen by Whiskey Warm and I'm not aware of any others. When I started forging again in Halo: Reach I have been getting numerous requests to remake Accelerator (and Rolling Thunder which I'll do later). And now at last I present to you...Accelerator the remake! In this installment of Accelerator I have brought back many of the fun parts of Accelerator including the classic Accelerator man-cannon boost start, the wall drift turn (2 of them!) and the off chambered turn and wave from Acceleration (which won Track of The Year in 2008). Even though this is a remake of a Halo 3 map it does not mean I have not implemented new ideas from Reach, like the halfpipe. Overall this map is a perfect blend of new and old with fast and thrilling sections that will often veer your mongoose close to the edge of the track! So I hope you enjoy the track and happy racing!

What inspired your creation? Inspiration for this track came from my Halo 3 map Accelerator which was a very popular racetrack at the time. Other than that I wanted to remake the map as a sort of re-mastered map and I think it turned out very well.

How long did it take to create? I probably took around 15 - 20 hours to create this track. This was a fairly quick track for me to construct however it doesnt take away from it's quality at all.

What aspect took the longest to get right? The most troubling part of the map was trying to figure out how to effectively manage the mongoose's speed at some parts without taking away to much speed that the track becomes boring. The part that took the longest however was working on the halfpipe. I wanted the halfpipe to be perfectly smooth and look perfect to the extent that every single piece is lined at the exact same intervals which was very time consuming. But it was worth it!
