    Aquafier Racetrack Race through this ancient water facility...

    First of it's Kind (That I've Seen)! An UNDERWATER map complete with UNDERWATER PHYSICS :O
    Overview:
    Alright so I made this map in a forger's marathon you could say and when it was finished I couldn't believe that it actually works lol. The parts of the race fully underwater (Mongoose and character fully submerged) have water physics kind of like low gravity that the racer has to be able to control. So this map might be for the more skilled of us loljk. It's for 1 - 16 players easily and don't worry about not being able to see underwater. Glass forge pieces do not turn blue underwater so you can easily see where obstacles and paths are. There's a picture lower in the post that shows that. The whole map is past the invisible wall and so you can survive underwater!

    Features:
    -Handcrafted so that everything is smooth and no unnecessary bumps are present
    - 70% of the map is fully underwater. (You'd normally die anywhere else)
    -A huge rock
    -A secret room to find
    -Arches and great scenery
    -Underwater physics that are great fun

    P.S. You can play with Ghosts and Banshee's but the Ghosts go crazy underwater. It good for a couple laughs and Banshees just fly normally underwater. Warthogs and Mongooses are preferred on Aquafier Racetrack.
    I've tested this map with a lot of people and it has been getting positive reviews for its originality. Please recommend and show your friends if you like it and pass it around

    On to the Pics and Explanations:

    How have you managed to go so far underwater?

    in certain areas you can go down to .8 and still live even if you crouch.

    try inbetween the two pathways that connect the island to the mainland.

    It's kind of funny actually. My friend showed me a map he downloaded and it was underwater and I had never seen an underwater racetrack made before so I decided to make one. My guess is that he forced a teleporter over?

    Actually I ended up experimenting and forced a teleporter as well. But I got to tell you its like a maze out there navigating the invisible kill boundaries. So you didn't forge this outside the invisible wall?

    No it is outside the invisible wall lol hence the whole push a teleporter through the invisible wall. you can't survive in bounds under water

    Its a fun track but its short and the physics get annoying and its just not right for racing its one of those thing were you're so amazed by it then you realize that its just not as fun as normal tracks.

    Perhaps the draw of getting outside the map is too distracting to make some really good maps. I feel like Bungie gave us this massive, massive (and beautiful) canvas on which to paint on, but people still have a preference for trying to use crayons on the floor and walls. I'm not saying your map is not well done; I gave it a whirl in 1 player to try it out and I can see myself liking it with some tweaking. However the visibility underwater is just too distracting to make it appealing to a wider audience. Under water is nice, but was not meant to sustain gameplay.

    Well Obviously underwater isnt supposed to sustain gameplay lol I mean gwwz you can barely see down there! But yeah I totally agree, it's more of a joke race after round after round of real racing (which can get boring). Good thing you can see glass underwater! lol
