Description:
Yeah; I definitely know what you're thinking right now: "A Halo 3 racetrack? Why not Halo: Reach where the forge is much easier? Nobody plays Halo 3 anymore so you wasted your time making this map..."
In all honesty it's not about that. I've become sick of the Reach forge (and my Reach disc stopped working for some time) so I wanted to come back to Halo 3 and forge a new racetrack. I feel that my sense of pride isn't as big in Reach due to the fact that it's way too easy to forge a map, so that's another reason why I came back to Halo 3. People spent a lot more time putting effort and creativity into their maps so I couldn't resist. I asked x DREAM 76 x to come along and do the aesthetics for the map, and he was excited to do so. This track intertwines within itself multiple times, containing banked waves, a spiral, two large banked turns and an elevator. We would like to thank the party for helping us test the map and make improvements. Comments and feedback are appreciated. Thanks!

What inspired your creation?
My Reach disc stopped working on my old xbox, so I decided to come back to Halo 3 and forge a Battle Tracks map. Another reason is a few of the old forgers from Halo 3 have more pride in their Halo 3 maps rather than Reach, due to the fact that the forge on Reach is way too easy and takes very little skill to forge a track.

How long did it take you to build this track?
Around 40 hours in a two week timeframe. I wanted to make sure that every aspect of the map flowed well.

What aspect of the track took you the longest to make?
The end of the track and the large banked turn made of Wall-T's. I was having a difficult time creating a reconnection from the end of the track to the start, so I decided to create a simple shield door elevator, which surprisingly does not alter the flow in any way. The large banked turn made of Wall-T's used to be a rolling hill, but I was running low on objects and I knew that I wouldn't be able to reconnect the track because the rolling hill was so big. the banked turn looks a lot better with the track rather than the rolling hill it used to be.
