    Swan Song
    Katanga Askar's final Halo 3 Forge.

    So here it is, folks. With Reach on the horizon, i've finally decided to hang up my double boxes and corner walls until september 14th. However, I wanted to go out with a bang. Recently, I have been dreadful at finishing maps, minaly because I put aesthetics before gameplay. With Swan Song, I decided to focus solely on gameplay, and add some aesthetics where I could.

    So, without further ado, I give you Swan Song. Sorry about the lack of fancy arts, photoshop isn't my friend at the moment. ;)

    First overview.

    And another.

    The guardian bend. Unlike most racetracks, guardians are ON. Don't brake ;)

    Now for the racing shots:

    Part 1: Utilises map geometry to create a smooth turn.

    Part 2: A huge banked turn spanning most of the track.

    Part 3: Switching direction and travelling under the next part of track.
    &
    Part 4: A large incline taking you over part 3.

    Part 5: The guardian turn. A standard banked turn with flashing death lights.
    [​IMG]

    Part 6: Another terrain section leading to the destination.

    Part 7: The final turn to the start, taken at super speed.

    This is sick!

    Like how you used both terrain and up in the air about the same, a lot of tracks would only have like a small portion on the ground at the start or something. And its smoother than hell.

    Overall a great map :)

    very good track.
    It looks fun and has great features. only down side is it lacks originality and all these maps seem to be exactly the same
