That was a very nice map, but a bit short. It would've been greater if you could actually ride on the big dinosaur, but the scenery was amazing. Reminded me of Jurassic Park, it also would've been greater than it already was if you added a Pterodactyl.
Friggin' awesome. Of course it looks escapeable, but that is outruled by the aesthetics and the run into the sand and above the killball. A 4/5 or 5/5 in my book. 4/5 Because it's escapeable. 5/5 If people aren't filthy noobs who try to escape the level.
i just absolutly love this track, everybody needs to be making tracks like this, as well as a fun race, a fun plave to race around and have a laugh at with your mates, i really hope you make more
Thanks for the long review. I appreciate people testing out my tracks and giving me some feedback on it. I agree I wish I could add man cannons to the jump over the kill ball, however i used a budget glitched map and accidently deleted an object so everything got messed up and I couldnt use any of the man cannons. Also the map is currently at the object limit. It is a little tough sometimes but like I said before, if you let off the gas right before going down the hill into the tunnel, you make it pretty much every time. haha ya, it technically is escapable, but like you said only to filthy noobs who don't really want to race. If you are in it to actually race around the track, either solo or with some buddies, then it shouldn't even be an issue.
This map is freaking sweet. I dont have any room on my queue, but this rocks. Great aesthetics, freaking sweet.
The aesthetics on this map are damn impressive. Since most of the racetrack floor is the map geometry itself, it looks like it should be very smooth too. Aesthetics and smooth racing in one map - isn't that what it's all about? Definite DL here. Keep 'em coming.
Hmm...thanks BUT - all you did was copy and paste the very first comment from this post by AgileDan92. Word for word. You could at least try to come up with your own comment about the track.
i have to say i really thought the aesthetics on this map was outstanding, so i downloaded it and thought it was quite fun, the things i dont really like about it is how small it is and how a part of the track is on the ground. also the killball jump seemed impossible if you had someone on your back. my very favorite part was how smooth the shield door jump was, it was just beautiful! well nice map 5/5 for the idea 3/5 for the track
This is good but it's more of a scenic map more then racing. Still its very good, I liked the shield door jump. Haha.
Haha ya me too...some how I set it up perfectly so that it is very smooth and you keep your speed and just keep on going
I agree with your post, race maps are great fun and all, but without a little flare there's not too much to enjoy the third or fourth time around. Anyway, wonderful map. The theme fits well with sandbox's atmosphere and the track itself is well done. But there's something about the name that I can't quite put my finger on....wait a minute...Isn't it the name of a map from Diddy Kong Racing? Good ol' N64.
This is such a cool racing map, I always get pissed off when you have to jump over the Kill Ball. I love these maps, the only problem is how players can leave the map by just driving off to the side, but the great aesthetics are worth having dumb players leaving.
Well, i dont know. The theme is very unique and impressive, but if you had made more track instead of putting up a bunch of walls on the ground it would have been a lot better.
Ya I thought about that but for this map I really wanted to use the terrain and the natural bumps and hills as the main choice of what to drive on. It gives the track a more natural, off-road feel to it that goes with the fossils and the dino. The banked turn is the only section of track that is made up of forged items. I wanted it to be different than all other race maps out there.
I just finished playing on the track, and I found that it was next to impossible for me to make it over the kill ball. I'm not sure if there was something I wasn't doing of something like that. Other than that though, the track was nice. The overall layout is straight, which you don't see too much of, and I like that.
I rate this game a 4/5. It has Excellent aesthetics, perfect length, but not always smooth. If the map was more consistent, and a little more stable and smooth, it would be a perfect 5. * I would rate the difficulty of the map as moderate, because there are many places to fall off such as into the kill ball. Some inexperienced racers may have trouble and fall prey to the many possible deaths/start overs the level offers. Here is a video I made of it. It should help display the map's greatness in high quality YouTube- Halo 3 Custom Gamez - RaceTrack 02 - Fossil Canyon (If you like the video please visit the link at the end of the video and rate or comment. Thanks. This will make other people watch the video, visit this site, and love the map.)
Thanks for the review dude...I already made a video for it that has been up on youtube for a long time now, its in the original post too above the DL link. Oh well I guess more coverage couldnt hurt..thanks again. And I agree with you on the difficultly level..you have to know how to keep your speed up in order to make it over the kill ball...otherwise you will FAIL.
