    Map Name and Link: The Coliseum

    Gametype Link: RACETRACKS

    Difficulty: Easy/ Medium

    Description: Created by Grizzlie Man and Vapour Knuckles. This is a fast-paced track winding in, over, under, and around the centrally based Coliseum. The track features an uncheatable start using the killball (and a 10 sec. respawn time for the start), a large banked U-Turn, and nice jump. The track is fairly long considering the amount of space used.

    I would like to add: There was spent upwards of 20 total hours testing and forging this map. This is now my second attempt at "The Coliseum" and the first time was a complete flop. A special Thanks to Vapour Knuckles for showing me some new forging techniques (new to me at least).This is my first attempt at making a track so be critical, please. Also, I would to say to Masta Blastr that I used your idea (from your V1) of the start and implemented my own version (using the killball vs. the sky bubble drop-off). I hope everyone enjoys this track, because I do and everyone that has tried it has loved it.

    great work, worth a DL. i like the idea of a killball in the middle of the sort of "whirlpool" thing. it makes a nice change to do it on the ground instead of in the air as well.

    This looks really good. I like the looks of the center part with the kill ball. Also the timed start is good and it looks like you spent a lot of careful forging time on this. Good job and got my DL.

    this is one of the more unique race maps that i have seen. Like evryone else, i agree with the kill ball centerpiece, i have seen anything creative like that in other race maps. Great job, keep making maps, and you have my download.

    Great race map, the interlocking and layout is phenomenal and overall looks like allot of fun. Cool touch with the kill ball very original.

    4/5

    With the cone type thing in the middle you could build like an arena where you have to push other people into the killball and be tha last one alive,but that's just a sugesstion.

    The map that's already here though is good but could use double wide lanes in some parts

    Wow. That looks real nice. I am a new racetrack maker and need a few suggestions on banking turns. Do you have any advice? Thanks. (downloaded)

    Great track, I love the idea of circling around the central structure like that. I've found a slight problem though. When you are coming up on the last turn, with the dune for the bank, if you take it too wide, you can wedge your mongoose in between the shield door and the ramp. ((This is what I mean - Halo 3 File Details)) It wouldn't be too big of a deal if you could get back up to the mongoose spawn, or quickly/easily kill yourself.

    Otherwise, great job, I'll definitely hang on to this track.

    Looks great, but may I suggest a better and correct spelling for the map name? It's Colosseum.

    It only really happened the first time when I was looking at the track. It hasn't since, mostly because I was careful to avoid taking it too wide. It's not too much of a problem, just wanted to point it out to you.
