    ***DOWNLOAD THE NEW MAP, A MINOR SPAWNING GLITCH HAS BEEN FIX***

    This map was originally created by me in Halo 3, the best map I made by far back then; I decided to remake it with a few different things here and there and it is still one of my and my friends' favorite custom games to play. I forged every single item in this map and all ideas come for me and only me.

    Here is some gameplay: (Special thanks to xXxJeremy71xXx for recording)
    ‪Mongoose Getaway Trailer/Gameplay‬‏ - YouTube

    General: The goal of the game for the riders (zombies) is to survive the race track;
    dodging obstacles, traps and the sniper's bullets. And eventually killing the sniper at the end of the track.

    The goal for the sniper is simple: do not let any mongeese riders get past the track, using his sniper rifle and rockets.

    Here is a clearer and more complex description of the map with photos:

    This is the riders' (zombies') starting area, safe from the sniper's attacks and where they can find their mongeese.(Note: There is now 15 mongeese instead of 8)
    [​IMG]

    This is the sniper's platform where he can see the whole track. He is immune to the rider's bullets until they pickup the power up at the end of the track.
    [​IMG]

    Here, the track splits into two, the left one will take the rider through a tunnel. The other leads to a small zigzag.
    [​IMG]

    After choosing the track to the left, the rider jumps over the other track, leading to a safe spot to let them recharge their shield and such.
    [​IMG]

    After their break, they must dodge a kill ball trap. Then keep following the next zigzag.
    [​IMG]

    If they choose the right track, they will follow a zigzag until they reach a jump where they must dodge the kill ball mentioned above.
    [​IMG]

    After dodging the kill ball, the rider will go through a straight-away that I like to call the rainbow road.
    [​IMG]

    Back on the left track, after riding through the zigzag and bouncing off the shield door, the rider will continue the track until they meet a drop; where they will fall back onto the main track.
    [​IMG]

    After passing through the rainbow road, the rider will land on the slanted part of the course until they meet a safe zone.
    [​IMG]

    Once this is complete, they will go through my ingenious trap, tested and modified millions of times, until it is now the masterpiece and highlight of the whole map.
    [​IMG]

    Here is a demonstration of how it works: the sniper shoots the mine marked by the giant arrow, which causes another mine to go off. The explosions causes two fusion coils to fall into a hole where it gets launched by a man cannon...
    [​IMG]

    ...the fusion coils then hit the ground hard, causing a powerful explosion that, if used at the perfect time, will kill the rider instantly. Just after the trap is a safe zone which is also where the other track merges back with this one as mentioned before.
    [​IMG]

    After a few meters of driving, the rider will be challenged by the confusing, thin part of the track leading to the last safe zone.
    [​IMG]

    The final part of the track, a very long straight-away where the sniper struggles to make his last efforts in killing the rider. At the end of the straight-away, a man cannon awaits the rider, which will send them soaring through the air until they hit the bunker where a teleporter is found.
    [​IMG]

    The teleporter will bring the rider to another bunker, where a sniper rifle and power up making them extremely powerful await them. The rider then snipes the sniper... ironically.
    [​IMG]


    This map has been tested a kajillion times. In my opinion nothing needs to be changed. If you read this whole thread, have a cookie and call yourself cool. I thank you very much for viewing this and I thank you a whole lot more if you download and share this map and game type with your friends. :D

    I know it does look small, but you'll see, if you get a pretty good sniper, the riders have a really hard time.

    I just played this and it isnt small at all. Its the right size. Its really fin flying over people when they go a different way. But one thing is, the gametype doesnt work, I would suggest you switch the infected around, having the infected people kill the last man, or just make it so there is one live/round. Do the 1life/round... It was really fun i enjoyed it!

    huh? something must be wrong, i made it so it is 1 life/round. it is the gametype i've been using since i made the map, it must be some kind of glitch, I'll check that out later.

    It looks cool, reminds me of the simple halo 3 "halo" maps that were so popular. You do know you can have more than 8 mongeese right? Set 16 or however many vehicles you want then in the game options go to vehicle set > mongeese only. its really simple, and it the map fits 16 players it could get into more lobbies.

    yeah, back in halo 3 i got inspired by some of the halo maps, thats why i made this one. also thanks alot for that tip for the mongeese, i'll edit that.

    MCGreen24, i think i might know what the problem was. If there is more than one person alive, the round will not end, thus if a rider kills the sniper and others are still alive, some of them have to kill them selves for the round to end. which is why i made no points loss for killing yourself. I think it does this for every infection game type.

    if you make it so that the riders are zombies and vice versa then it is like a swarm of zombies on their mongoose trying to kill the last man standing so once the sniper dies it is like you killed the last man standing in a real game and a new round starts

    I have tried doing this and couldn't find how; when I choose the amount of zombies the only options are: 1,2,3,4,5 or 15. If there was a ''All but one'' option then it could work. Unless I'm missing something, perhaps you know how?

    my reply

    First of all, awesome trailer video... What I don't really like about the map, is the trap it looks ugly, try to make it look nicer..also that arrow is a really good hinter for the sniper saying shoot this thing! :p .... also the trap for the kill ball is quite nice....but the map itself is quite short ... having downloaded and played the map...i think any experianced driver with a not so expirianced shooter could finish the map in under a minute.....lookin' forward to another racing map from you...overall really good map

    I'm glad you liked it, I don't know if i'll make another map like this though. I know the trap looks ugly but at least it works!

    Sweet, glad you like it. But I don't really think I will make a sequel getaway map, I like to keep things original.

    Killer! I loved play the first one you made I always loved the edge and fear of the quick death by being sniped and the fear of someone making it to the end. I so can't wait to test this out. Thank god the remake is here
