Second Straight-Away First Jump Banked Corner and Second Jump Safe for all Vehicles Sick Air Landing First Decision Maker Jump 3 Second Decision Maker Now this part is important, If you look to the left you will see a ManCannon only a Mongoose can use, behind that is a Gate made of Pallets. The Theory behind this is to Balance the Gameplay between the Multiple Vehicles. For Example: the defenseless yet agile Mongoose gets a Boost in Speed, The Brute Force of the Warthog can simply smash through the Pallets unhindered, and the Quick and Overpowered Ghost must either take the long way around this gate, or spend a few seconds shooting out a Pallet so he can cross. It sounds really technical, but it works quite well to even the playing field. Back in the Race already!

Wow, this looks really fun. It's nice seeing a mini-game map compatible with so many original mini-games. However, for the death rally game, wouldn't the mongoose usually be leading the race anyway due to its agility and maneuverability..? And what's the long way that the ghost needs to take? Rubber rapids looks fine, but there's 30 seconds for the humans to spawn kill zombies in boiler room? You might want to adjust that a little bit. And last question, how effective are propane tanks at injuring the humans and not the zombie, if they injure the humans at all? Anyway, the forging looks nice clean and smooth. Keep it up, it'd be good to see more maps like this in the future.
I played this and all of the minigames were actually top notch games deserving of their own map, and I still feel like boiler room could easily be its own post. And its sad to see the assault game go...
All of these were on one map? Haha, just go into Forge and you'll have a whole bunch of fun messing around. All gametypes set for download.
Hey it's great to finally see this map posted! I'll start by saying that all of the forging is absolutely superb. You put in really good attention to details, and it looks fantastic. Now I'll give each minigame its own little review... Boiler Room- Definitely a very unique idea. I liked it a lot at first. But honestly it seems like it was a bit too easy for the zombies to kill... maybe that's just me being too picky or maybe we just needed more people when I played, but either way it was still incredibly satisfying to blow people up. Rubber Rapids- Okay, so maybe it isn't super original but it's really awesome and I had a blast committing piracy on those unfortunate enough to come close to my boat. And is it me in that last picture taunting all the losers? Anyone who hasn't played this... should play it. (I highly recommend taunting) Death Rally- I remember that every single time I played this I lost miserably, but still had fun. My favorite vehicle was the warthog, but I did best in the ghost. This is where your forging abilities stand out the most, too. Excellent job on smoothness, balance, and making it all really fun. In conclusion: Taunting is awesome and Grudge Harbour is my favorite type of Harbor.
Has anyone else ever had a water race , a land race and a mini game in one map before....I think not! Be proud Dirt you are the first. Not only are all of these games fun, they offer variety. Oh yea and this map is featured on episode 64 of machinima's Halo 3 Forges Show. By far my fave longshore map.
