    How many racetracks you see now a days? tons i bet most you see are in the crypt, main level or sky bubble well i made a track that is not on any of those levels i build a track around the gaurdian on Sandbox! this map supports any number of players and any race track game type.

    Back round: With no safe place to go ther great gaurdians of sandbox offered to protect rather then destroy

    What happens if you fall off though? When you're still on a mongoose falling from that height, I know from experience you will die. But lets say that you get off your mongoose while you fall, and survive. Then what happens? Are there killballs or teleporters down there?

    would it be too much to call you god? This looks amazing. I'm not big on racetracks, so my knowledge is limited, but as far as i know this is the first execution of this idea, and damn does it look fine. Only gripe i can see is the annoying guardian attacking a whatever-you-used-to-block-it sound. looks like it's worth it though XD.

    I'll definitely download.

    EDIT: oh, now i get what they mean. yeah, with guardians blocked off you won't die down there. If you had a game to 50 I'm assuming that this has occurred to you unless all of your friends are absolutely amazing drivers.

    When you fall off since theres no grid below you, you fall all the way down to the bottom and get shot by the gaurdians. not the most convenient way to die but thats the price if you build a racetrack around the gaurdian.

    Ohhh, right. I completely forgot about the guardian tower shooting you.. I was thinking that in forge mode when you drop from the guardians to the ground level, they don't shoot at you no matter what. Guess it's different for custom games then. I'll be sure to download and try this later (if I'm not playing L4D2 demo). This is the first racetrack I've seen in the guardian level, and it looks great. Not many people would attempt or even think about making about a racetrack in this area. You don't happen to have an stacked OLN canvas up there do you?

    Wow, never thought it would happen. Haha I love how you took racetracks to the next LEVEL. Awesome, awesome idea and I praise the risk you took on this map because it deserves a feature in my opinion. I'm que'd up for DL and I can't wait to see this thing in person because off the uniqueness that shines of the tracks of this map.

    Finally! Someone made a good racetrack... there haven't been any in the past month or so.

    And the placement of the track is awesome. Looks nice and smooth too. You've got my DL.

    Also, I've never seen you post a racetrack before. Is this your first one? If not, show me your others

    Finally something original. NEVER would have thought of this, and i love it. it looks perfectly forged and the idea of it being so high up but if you fall off you'll go to the ground, awesome. Definite DL and a spot on my attention list. BTW 5/5.

    Very nice track! I remember when you just had a little piece for a start and i was like "WTFZ u be dumbass" but now it all makes sense lol. It looks like my column design worked out pretty well for the end, but the rest looks just as awesome. I guess the only thing i would change is maybe add some more aesthetics spread out through the map instead of just like 2 spots. It seems bland in places. It plays very well, though. Congrats

    Oh, now I know what happens when you fall down. Great job the map 5/5, but next time just make it a little longer.

    Going around the Guardian: Genius.

    That's all I have to say. Whatever else I had to say has been said already.

    the one thing that really stuck out to me was the aesthetics, sure, going around the guardian tower is crazy enough in itself, but i thought the lighting and overall atmosphere was just great. The layout of it also makes it feel like a very large track, which personally i love seeing that in tracks.

    Very nicely made track. I would be extremely impressed if ghost merging had not been released, but unfortunately it is impossible for me to be impressed now that forging is so easy. Nonetheless, I love where you placed the track, it gives it a really intense feeling knowing that your so high up, and if you fall, your f***ed. clean ghost merging, and overall a very nice track. You should have gave ZOR more credit, he did the entire remaining 10 seconds of the track and deserves more then a special thanks. great job though.

    Well, the placement on the map is original...not the track. Besides, I think all you people sayin "Well this isn't original," need to put your money where your mouth is!

    Map f**kin sick though dawwwwg! DLing commenced!

    Wow, I love how you have utilized the aesthetic part of the tower, it gives th map a really good appearance to it. I do see some bland spots but other than that, it looks great. I've already dl but still have play. Good job 10/10

    I wondered what you meant by "around the sandbox guardian." Makes sense now. Besides the obvious uniqueness, the track has great merging, flow, and competitiveness. You have made extraordinary progress in your forging since Riginace, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

    P.S. Did you fix the checkpoint yet? If so, you should let people know so they can redownload. :)
