    *Sandbox* Apocalyptica V2(NEW)

    Apocalyptica V2
    By D3M0N K1lla95

    V1: Apocalyptica

    Gametype: Racetracks 200%
    If you have racetracks, just modify the gravity to 200%, or else download this.

    Apocalyptica is my first map ever posted here on ForgeHub, although I have been to this site millions of times, and download tons of maps. Please provide constructive critisism on the map.

    Map description

    This is one the first Sandbox race maps that have been made. The map uses a little bit of interlocking(Hoop, some open space between objects, path 2 turn), only when necessary(except for the hoop '.'). This map plays pretty good and there are two paths in the map. One path is through a set of tin cup bounces that can throw you off course and make you fall to your death while the other path is a bit longer but can pass path 1 if you use the man cannon boosts. There is a small anti-cheat in the map, I don't think anyone will be cheating any time soon. There are some aesthetics like 2 tower shapes in the beginning and fins on the side of some paths. Now, time for the pictures.

    V2 improvements
    Interlocked all turns
    Smoothened gameplay
    Added extra walls

    PICTURES
    These pictures are from V1, V2 has been improved a lot.
    Overview(Bridges and Walls on the floor interlocked in V2, also added extra walls to make it harder to fall off.)

    looks like you really used sandbox's item list to the fullest, congrats, youve got yourself a decent sandbox race track. Or at least until the standard raises.

    Thanks :). Wish I could have straightened some stuff a bit. Might make a V2.

    Glad that you like it. Took me about 4 hours to make including some of the interlocking, and aesthetics.

    Lol, when the standard raises, I'll make better race maps. I know most of the forge techniques, I could have done a lot more but just felt like making a quick little racetrack, and my bro was bugging me to put it up here on ForgeHub.

    My bro D3m0n k1lla97 did the aesthetics like the blue hallway and other effects.

    EDIT: Post made by D3M0N K1lla97. Forgot to give him credits -.-. Kinda pissed he went on my acc though.

    Looks awesome. Downloaded. I haven't tried it out yet. Just wondering, but why does this map need 200% Gravity?

    Great, hope you have fun with the map. The reason you need 200% Gravity is one part of the anti-cheat.

    WOW! I love it. Good competitive fun. I love the killballs. Would be nice if it was longer though. Other than that is great. 4.5/5 needs to be longer.

    Glad you had fun with it. I was originally planning on making an extremely long race track that started from this maps start point and went through all of sandbox. From the start point through the crypt, and through the default sandbox, and back to the beginning but budget and items were limited.

    I like the starting part alot where you go through the tunnels into the tubes, thats cool. There are some minor flaws with the track such as the bridge part but no big deal. All in all I give this a 3.5/5. I give it this because it could be neater and you could have made it more competative but thats just me. Keep it up nice map. P.S. Look for my Sandbox to hit the forums in a couple of weeks.

    Wow, look like the first good racetrack for Sandbox, well done. I especially like the ring and the Tin cup bounce

    to be perfectly honest, this is one of those race maps you play and you say to yourself, "that was fun... BUT i dont see myself playing it over and over again."

    NOT TO DISCREDIT YOUR WORK!
    i thought you did a great job with interlocking your objects, it made the map feel alot smoother and less choppy. I look forward to seeing more racing maps out of you in the future!

    After messing around with map in a custom game, I really like the design on the map, such as the killballs, tin cups, etc. But the the gravity lifts at the finish line could do a little work. Overall, 9/10.

    Thanks. I know how you feel about the replayability of the map. I don't expect a lot of people to enjoy the map but this was just a test map for my first time forging in Sandbox. I could have made the map at least 10 times better.

    Yeah, I was trying to think of a way for the anti-cheat and the grav lifts were my only idea. I should have put more work into it though.

    Interlocking is always necessary to set your track apart. Just look at me and Infrared Cruise... lol.

    Anyway, back on topic, the track could be alot better. It's not bad, but not extremely good either. The layout has some potential in it, and if you more made banks and skytrack, it would earn a 5/5 from me. For now, though, you get a shiny 4/5.

    I like it. But it doesn't have that "let's play that again" ebb to it. 4/5.

    Map Posting Rules

    Post titles must consist of the map name ONLY and no other symbols, comments or irregular formatting.

    I'm posting this in every racetrack that has "Sandbox" in it that is not part of its name. I believe it is unfair that my track should get less views because I followed the rules. I'm not trying to be mean, and I do not hate your track, and no offense, but I think this needs to stop. Sorry if I offended anyone. Sorry if this was retarded and I should get banned for it. I just wish for people to follow the rules. If that is such a bad thing, I will remove this post.
