Description:
I was on the edge of getting tired of forging, since this is the latest racetrack I have made, but it was made about five months ago. That's right, I been too lazy to even published this racetrack officially. I do not know why I did not do it before, and I do not know why this time is different. Anyways, about the track; it is made on Orbital which is very sufficient to be able to do anything original, but I thought I would give it a try. Since, I figured out ghost-merging, I thought why not do it on this racetrack. This was the first map, I ever used ghost-merging. Also, on this map you will be surprised of how I took complete advantage of the room that Orbital had. I made three shield door elevators. Your reaction must be, "how the hell", that's right three shield door elevators. If you watch the video or look at the pictures, you will discover how I have done so. I thought this was an impeccable achievement to do so on small a confined map. The second shield, you may run into some problem, you must go full speed, otherwise you may not make it. Also half of the time, the back of your mongoose will hit the back wall. Apparently it will cause you to do a backflip. I thought this was quite fun and I stopped the tweaking there, because usually you will either make a backflip or make it perfectly. You can watch the video for the backflip and how to do it properly. This was an extra addition, three shield doors and a backflip. Is that not fun! In my personal opinion, I believe this is probably the best racetrack on Orbital to date. On this map, you will have a shield door jump at the start to get onto the track. You will spawn in the death-fall-zone (pardon me I do not know what the proper term) and there will be a shield door elevator waiting for you to go through. This map will support eight players, it may be a bit tight, but that is the fun of the map! Just a caution, make sure you are not cramming into the second shield door, because that is a hazardous zone. There are excellent arrows to point to where you are suppose to go, so if you get lose, then clearly you haven't played halo before. There is the last shield door at the VIP finish-point. There are excellent shield door barriers for you to use so you will not lose your speed, but at some turns, you will have to, as this is a competitive map. I hope you all have fun and if you have any comments or questions, feel free to ask!

What inspired your creation?
Since there weren't many Orbital Racetracks, I wanted to make the best racetrack on Orbital and do something with this map that no one has ever done before, and I think I done that.

How long did it take to create?
I believe my estimation of time spent on this map is around 10 hours, I did a lot of testing and kept redoing a lot of parts.

What aspect took the longest to get right?
The aspect I felt that took the longest was the second shield door jump, I had to kept tweaking it to make it even reach 95% of success, it probably took the majority of time.
