It's nothing "new" but I thought I would throw up these bad boys. Berry Bliss Berry Bliss is a bonus track I created almost three months ago while I was bored one weekend. It's creation spanned the course of three days and took appr 20 hours total to complete. Probably my favorite racetrack I have ever made. (It and its mirror were fileshare-exclusive until this point) YouTube - Halo 3 Racetrack ''Berry Bliss'' Video courtesy of ABNPOISON Blissful Mirror Blissful Mirror is the mirror version of Berry Bliss (you should have picked up on that, but I just wanted to make sure). It was completed the same day as Berry Bliss. Very few things were changed: checkpoint, lights, starting arrow, etc. It took about another half an hour after finishing Berry Bliss.

I finished this up early this morning and am fairly happy with the outcome. I had to adjust the starting/ending ramps some to make better transitions for the mirror, move borders around, change the spawn to decrease spawnkilling, and tweaked a few other things in the track. It was difficult to edit things at the bottom of my budget and with limited pieces, but I took my time and got it done. Voila: YouTube - Cherry Twist - Halo 3 Racetrack Chillouette And, yet again, Chillouette is the mirror of Silhouette. I was very happy with how this turned out. I rarely deal with shield door elevators/bounces, and this one worked fairly well from the beginning, requiring little tweaking. This mirror was definitely the most time consuming. I had to reconstruct half of the wooden bridge valley and had to do more with the spawns. Although it was a lot harder to make, this is probably my favorite mirror so far. The shield door bounce works perfectly almost everytime if you are going fast, and the track is just as fun in reverse as it is forwards. YouTube - Chillouette - Halo 3 Racetrack Thanks for viewing my maps! I hope you enjoy them. I would like to thank everyone who helped with testing/feedback on these maps and with the Mirrors' original maps.
Rofl ok um WOW,.. 4 maps all at 1 time, all amazingly well forged, I tried each track and have found no bumps, you did Amazing dude 10/10!!!
WOW, four amazing tracks in one post, overwhelming. Love all of 'em, 19/20 (five points per). The only point you lost is because they are amazing but im tired of all these same bank turns or hills. Somebody really needs to come up with a new track concept. Don't worry, your still nuber one on my list.
The only one you really made was Berry Bliss, but that changes nothing. Silhouette is still my favourite track OF ALL TIME. (insert Kanye Joke here) Really, amazing stuff. Back Burner Mirror nowplzkaythxbye. I'm sure the great Shaddo can do it.
Thanks, dude. Glad you like them. That could be said about almost any type of map. They all have similar structures, but they aren't as obvious because they don't have to be linear and driveable. As for the Back Burner mirror... negative. Thanks for padding my ego, but that isn't going to convince me. Don't worry, I have something cooking for all you Back Burner fans. I didn't forget you.
Hello. My name is Shaddo, (audience: Hi, Shaddo.), and I am a Forgeaholic. Haha. But yeah, it's a disease. This was just a little warm up to get me back in the forging spirit.
That brings me back to a time when you said you'd stop forever... And now here you are Shaddo! I'm not ussualy one to post on map threads, but the fact that you managed to capture my attention long enough to read through all the text, and watch all the videos is just amazing. I have nothing negative to give you... Now just if I could get the Chillouette video to work! They're all mirrors, but amazing ones at that.
dude, chillouhette should have been the primary version. drift heaven. i loved that map so much... and i alrdy got berry bliss of your fileshare . the others didnt seem worth getting, and i cant wait for the back burner edit or whatever you said you had in store. unless that was a lie... only thing i could think of being added besides going in reverse order would be added aesthetics, which wouldnt be downloadable for me.
These look awesome! Berry Bliss looks really cool and I'm already a fan of the other tracks. I was wondering though, how did you flip these so quickly? How is this done?
You just simply drive the other way on the track. As far as the goal point, you just turn it around. Your track has to be forged a certain way when you are creating the map. Most tracks can't have a mirror. The really epic tracks usually can be converted into a mirror track, because of the extremely smooth ways the sky parts are interlocked. I really enjoy mirror tracks because it's a new way to look at an old favorite. Great job Shaddo. These are some fine mirrors for sure.
Thanks. What I was hinting at is a completely new map with Back Burner styled forging. It's not a "lie" but I'm not going to make any promises that it will get finished. I've got a lot going on right now, but a new track is in the works. Like Dream said, the way I forged these tracks makes them smooth if you go forward or reverse (that's one reason why I won't do a mirror of Back Burner). So, I just have to modify the "start" and "finish" parts of the track to work in reverse, move the checkpoint, change the spawn area around, and rearrange the borders to make the track uncheatable. There was also a bump on Cherry Twist that needed smoothing. Originally, I was just going to connect the ends of Chillouette, but the shield door idea popped into my head about halfway through, and it worked perfectly. So, you see, there's not a whole lot too it.
The download link has been updated for the new version with a renovated starting ramp. Hope you enjoy the changes.
