    Hello and welcome to Kingdom Come. This is the third of three maps in a map pack I'm releasing called the Paradise Lost Map Pack, which are perhaps the last three maps I'll have time to forge in reach. This map is ALSO a large map compatable with race and battletracks. This map has some cool, modern scenery including airplanes and has a lot of fun terrain! I made the terrain sections challenging, and a kill barrier trap can be found on the map. As the first two maps did, it starts with a very steep hill and has a large jump near the end. It is a very fast-paced hybrid map and is a ton of fun to play, so please download it and share it around, in fact, please download the whole map pack and share all three maps around! Here's a link to the video and some pictures:

    This is probably the best of all three, in my opinion. I love the skytrack, but I like the natural part even better. It's awesome that you made all three of the maps work with Battle Tracks because I adore playing it :)
    Definitely going to race on this map whenever I'm setting up a race lobby! Keep up the great work.

    I don't always look a race maps, but when I do they are awesome like this one, I also love the map pack as well, the only thing I don't like is that one turn that blows you up when you get it wrong, took me four tries, all in all it's a very nice map even though it is a racing map, nice job with the other maps in your pack.

    Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! The kill boundary on that turn was initially an accident, however I thought it added extra competition to the map with a small hardcore section. It makes it so racers have to be cautious and can be used for fun to knock other racers into! Sorry it bothered you, but thanks for the comment!

    Yo! Many of you don't know who I am, but If you played Halo 3 and I remember the race tracks, You would remember me, the guy who made Cape Canaveral, Andromeda, Zyphyr, Meltdown, Typhoon. I just want to give this Forger all my respect. He did everything I wanted to do to Andromeda. Zypher was a branch off of Andromeda, thats what i wanted to do to it but never did. BTW: Im the guy who invented The Banked Wave and adding smoothness to racing in Halo 3, non-cocky but I had a great reputation on Halo 3. I haven't got to try it, but the way it looks is amazing. I give all you new forgers so much respect for carrying out my creations and taking them to a new level. This map looks amazing man, keep it up.

    Thanks a lot Slik! Check out the other two maps in this map pack, they're also very Halo 3ish and very smooth! And yes I remember you very well, and all of your maps; they were all amazing and it's quite an honor to get such good feedback from you!

    See, you say "non-cocky", Slik, but that post definitely comes off as cocky. Especially the whole "carrying out my creations" part. And the fact that more than half of the post is about you instead of Coookkie's map... Just saying. :p

    As with the other maps in this pack, I enjoyed the huge turns and hills. The terrain portions were kind of iffy in some places, as they dramatically reduce the flow, but they do add another element of skill into the race. I never encountered the kill barrier, but one random kill barrier on a turn doesn't seem like fun to me. :( The aesthetics are nice, and I really like the airplanes. Did you base them on something, because they look really familiar. Overall, Kingdom Come is a great track, and a nice way to finish up this map pack.

    Yeah I know the terrain slows you down, however this is how I see it; smooth doublewide maps that are PERFECTLY smooth and have no terrain sections are fairly uncompetitive for there's a small chance of people messing up and there is little change in racing positions. The kill barrier is sketchy lol but I thought it added a fun hardcore section. But thank you for your kind words on the map and the map pack, I'm glad you enjoyed it overall.
