    Hello

    I bring you to the wonderful terrain race Mars Attacks as some of you know thats a movie some may not but nevermind that on with the map.

    You spawn in the Mongoose carrier ship

    Then Down the ramp and up the the time turn (crashed UFO up above)
    [​IMG]

    Down the time turn and through the stream watch out for the blue men get to close and they will kill
    [​IMG]

    Turn left up on to a medium straight
    [​IMG]

    Through the rock arch o to some bend
    [​IMG]

    Small banked turn and another UFO in the sea
    [​IMG]

    Choice of two routes under the UFO for a quicker route but the chance of getting stopped in your tracks by the tractor beam or around for a safe but longer route
    [​IMG]

    Almost getting caught
    [​IMG]

    Taking the safer option
    [​IMG]

    Around the bend and starting to make your way up to the mothership
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Be careful not to fall
    [​IMG]

    around the mothership be careful not to fall off
    [​IMG]

    Head back down and over a small jump
    [​IMG]

    now back up to the start and small jump into the mongoose carrier
    [​IMG]

    Lap time around 1:14-1:17

    Why i created it?
    Was going to be a warthogs war map where the giant ufo is but then turned it into a race track

    Hope you enjoy download and tell me what you think.

    I really enjoyed the visual flair here. This is one of the better maps I've seen to use the Purple filter - pulls off that eerie feel quite well. I drove straight off that small banked turn in the sea a few times, but I consider that a personal failing and not the fault of the map. Seems like mongoose wheels could get stuck in the large flying saucer's gaps, but it hasn't happened to me yet, and looks neat regardless.

    I downloaded because I liked the nice theme you displayed. I drove a solo race on it and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I do have a suggestion though.

    The connection between the ramp and the mothership is kind of odd. It'd be easier if you widened it out on each side so transferring from the mothership back to the track and vice verse is a lot easier.

    I really liked the shortcut you added to the map that runs the risk of you getting caught in the gravlift. Having multiple routes is something that halo 3 tracks didn't accomplish very well.

    I'm curious as to why you wrote 'TIME' on that bank turn in the beginning? I may be missing something, but it seemed very random at the time.

    There is no skill in forging anymore as they mayed it to easy I believe its more about the idea and imagination of the creator of the map and how they achieve it. Also i wouldnt know what a mars picnic eating worms would be like but you obviously do.

    Yeah man, you are supposed to drink the worms at the bottom of the bottle ;). Now you see whay mine is so great, its all about functional track instead of looks with 0 functionality. Sorry twister but you know my map reigns supreme

    I slightly raised the pieces I used to make the letters from the track and then placed over a shield door. If you want a better look i recommend looking at it in forge.

    Thats a little unfair if im being honest

    if you are going to down a map you should take the time to be more constructive

    especially since the author took the time to create it

    I find the map fun

    you should definitely start another and use what you have learned to improve the next one

    I found it smooth and easy to circuit

    defo a good map for beginner racers
