    The map design is awesome and the racing looks really fun. Only problem is it seems like it would be easy to get lost or go the wrong way.(could be wrong haven't played it yet) Other than that it looks great

    I liked the video, I like the map, and I like the hot wheels 8 track style to it, only its more complex.

    Thanks for your comments guys :D @acid mailbox It is easy to find the right way because the checkpoints are clear :)

    I love these kind of maps. Whether you are racing to win, or just to ram people, it's fun for everyone. First off, I don't like the start. Why make people wait? It's not the most competitive map, so I just don't understand why you would make people wait at the start. (I wouldn't do it even for a competitive map). The forging is very good, as the track is smooth, and the jumps work well. The transfer from track to terrain is fairly seamless, and the checkpoints do a good job leading you where you need to go (you don't get lost). Some of the jumps weren't lined up as well as they could have been (specifically the one after the shield door elevator). And in the video (3:24), you can see where someone took a jump too far to the right, and landed on the ground. This wouldn't be a big deal but there is a kill barrier there for some reason. It's not like you can cheat the map, so why is it there, especially when it's very easy to miss the track? To conclude, this is a fun map regardless of your play style, and I hope to get a full party on it soon for some racing mayhem!

    haha, Halo physics is a little off in that video. Very nice track, I love all the racetracks that have chaos like this. I love the possibilities of hitting people on this map. Great job making it!

    This is probably one of the most balanced and fun racetracks I've ever seen on Reach. I played a couple of races on this with about 6 people and there was constantly actually some passing! So many racetracks lack the ability to actually catch up with the leaders but the unpredictability of this track allows that to happen. What with people colliding into each other, mistiming jumps, and somewhat difficult turns, the map provides the amount of difficulty that's not to the point where it's frustrating.

    Great job! Nominating for a feature.

    A racing map with good aesthetics? Me gusta <3 (usually race maps don't look very appealing).

    It looks fantastic. It may not be as fun by yourself but either way looks fun.

    Unfortunately I don't have alot of Reach friends to play Custom games with. I will download this map when I get the change to get on my xbox. Gamertag is my username. Hope to see some people on the track ;3
