    Well after much time and effort, I managed to create a rollercoaster mongoose racetrack on blackout. I know what you're thinking, "O please, blackout is too small theres no way that could be done, and even if it was pulled of it probably sucks." But beleive me, all of my hard work has paid off--as you will soon see. This map is fairly different from a lot of rollercoaster maps mainly because I had a very tight area to work with (didn't know about the barrier glitch at the time i started it). It is all inside the normal boundaries and it is designed so that you should never slow down. It requires practice to master and is sorta tricky at some parts, but I can do it everytime now. So don't complain that you fall off everyonce in a while--its not my fault you fail at driving, and, lets be honest: if you could do it right off the bat and there was no challenge involved, it completely takes the fun out of it. If your looking for an exhilarating way of testing your mongoose driving capabilities, I highly recommend you give this map a shot. It has 4 banked turns, a jump, a drift turn, and a new type of elevator made entirely of shield doors and mancannons. I generally just play it in forge because its fun, but there is a vip point in position should you wish to race it (you can time urself i guess lol), just use the RACETRACKS gametype (found here: RACETRACKS. Enjoy!

    P.S.- To those of you who think this isnt a true racetrack, I agree, its not, but it is much more fun than a normal one because you can fall off and it requires skill.

    P.S.S.-I am in Halotracks, but I did not say "OMG HALOTRACKS RACETRACK" in the title because a) I'm not a true map maker yet (ya i know wtf...lol) and b) this isn't a true racetrack in their eyes and it does not meet the halotrack ettiquette guidelines. But ya w/e lol, Have fun! O ya lol please rate and comment, constructive criticism highly appreciated :). If you want to have an in depth conversation about forging and what not, please send it to me as a message(or contact me in game, I'd be honored to help create something ^_^) and don't spam the forum, thank you.

    Below are links to all the pictures from start to finish:

    Gold rush was just insane. And this looks pretty awesome too. The only thing is that you can't really race on it because it is just too freaking hard, and you can fall off easily. What you should really make is a really awesome one that is easy to complete, but takes skill to do it fast.

    Um, wow. Craftsmanship is amazing. I love the high speed parts, but my friends tended to fall off and die way to often. Very unique, because I have not seen any tracks on Blackout yet, yet this seems better than many I have seen on Foundry and other maps. 4.99/5

    OMG THIS ISNT A REAL RACETRACK U STINK U LOSER GET A FRIEND...

    Haha kidding =). This is an amazing track. You must have a lot of free time, or you actually have an xbox that isn't broken... I've que'd for DL once I get my xbox back. Keep on forging those tracks!

    I think it'd be very cruel but funny if you put a mancannon or 2 in here. That would just piss people off. =)

    Nice racetrack map! My favorite part of the map is the bank 4, it just looks so sweet because it's made out of all those doors. Overall, 5/5. Map is perfect for people expecting a real challenge.

    I like this. Even tho it isn't an "official" I dont really believe "real" racetracks are as fun as rollercoaster-type ones.
    Good job! LOved gold rush too!

    I must say, as a blackout roller coaster esque racetrack... this has got to be the best. Not only is this map not made in the areas out of the map, but the forging and flow of it are what every good racetrack maker should strive to achieve. True, this is roller coaster esque... so it's one laned. Doesn't make it bad, just means this is a more screw around rather than seriously race somebody kind of map. I enjoyed racing this with you... however I don't believe it's a map I will constantly be playing. STILL pretty dang good. 4/5.

    Wow guys, thanks for all the feed back :). So, from what i hear you guys would like to see more interlocking and for my upcoming maps to be smoother. K, sounds like a plan (Although that means it will take longer XD). And in the near future (lol anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months...schools a *****) i should have another one--not sure if its going to be two laned or single, probably two laned b/c all of mine are single so far, BUT im still debating which is better. Peace :).

    Well it looks like a fun map but i suggest you embed the rest of the pics it makes it alot easier for the views to get an idea of what the map is, some people like me are too lazy to click on all of them

    K, just put in all the pics

    Umm....im not quite sure how it isnt smooth, like ya the car will go up and down on some of the banks but its not bumpy to where you hear a crashing sound. Now with interlocking, well, I interlocked all that was necesarry, but if i interlocked all my banked turns it would be a)very goddamn hard, b) would only make it a little more smoother, and c) would make me run out of items quickly. So im content with how the map is now. honestly, I havnt seen that many rollercoasters with a **** load of interlocking and they are all pretty smooth.

    Dacheezburgler, I think what would help your map alot would be some sweet kind of filter. If you could make it just right, it could add an awesome effect to the map. I'm not sure if there's one that would fit because it's on Blackout, but you could try.

    BTW, try not to double post. It seems as if you got a warning from doing this. Just don't do it, instead edit your previous post. Thanks!

    ya sorry bout the double post, i fixed it :). A filter you say? Ive messed with them all and they are mainly an eyesore unless ur doing machinima. They could help you see the track a bit better, but as far as im concerned the track is quite visible when i race it..so ya, thanks tho :)

    Alright, just an idea. I think you did a great job on the track, and there's not much that would make it better. Of course, people can complain that there's n0t enuf intrl0x, but that's merely opinion.

    I have been an inactive member of forgehub for a while now, but I'm finally "stepping up" so to speak, to publish my own map. That map happens to be a rollercoaster and only after constructing it can i fully appreciate the time and effort that goes into these maps in particular.
    i want to say two things: GREAT job Cheezburgler and keep your eyes peeled for my new map Skywriters. Hopefully, cheezburgler will continue to produce these outstanding maps that are inspirational and just a whole lot of fun to play.
