    Hi, this is a new map variant for rocket race i have that is nearing its completion. i still need testers for it, so if you're intrested leave your gamertag below thanks! The map is set on the paradiso island and plays great (much better than bungies default maps anyway >.>).


    It's made with a two-tier design with a large aesthetic piece that contributes to gameplay, it's basically a large stone shaman than drops spells (fusion coils) around a capture point. Time it wrong and watch you and your buddy go anywhere but to that destination. Ive tried to keep the map as basic and flat as possible, which allows for easier movement. There are ten capture points, some more challenging than others, especially the one under the statue. I was going to submit this to bungie's forge contest but unfortunately it's only open to residents of the US :(.

    It also still needs a name, ive added a list, so either pick your favorite or suggest a better one please :)

    Shaman
    Wytchcraft
    Golem

    Here's some pictures, let me know what you think.

    The offramp destination. the one way system makes it more fun as everyone scrambles to get to the top and head down again.

    The Back of the map. a nice open area that's pretty fun to drift around.

    The raised platform.

    Thanks for checking this out, let me know what you think. thanks!

    i will definitely help test. looks really fun. i have a map right now that is going for some sort of vehicle type gametype similar to rocket race, and it would be nice to be able to set up a rocket race variant on it. i thought bungie already had rocket race on rumble pit?

    Its not on rumble pit, its on multi team, and it is completely separate from rally. If you want to DL it I will put it on my fileshare so you can DL it to make a custom one.

    Here it is: link

    Nice stone shaman! Are you considering placing more ramps or obstacles throughout the flat area of the map? Looks good right now though.

    Do you plan to add anything to the flat areas? I think I speak for many people that open flat spaces are incredibly boring for rocket race, and gameplay suffers because rockets have an open flight path.

    I might do, ill see how the testing turns out, the areas themselves aren't really huge and they're necessary in some areas like the run up to the jump.

    Ill be testing on Wednesday 20th October, at around 7:30PM GMT (British time) which is around 12:30PM US time.
