BattleCross Creator: THE Fuglystick Map: Forge World Track: BattleCross Lap Time: 00:45 Checkpoint Count: 5 Description: This map is an sx/mx hybrid that was designed specifically for use with BattleTracks game variants. Placed on an elevated portion of the canyon, this short battletrack makes for a lot of fun and challenges both the driver and the shooter as the maneuver around the course. The map has one tabletop, an SX style whoops section, an MX style whoops section, a rhythm section, a step up/triple, and a big drop from a broken bridge that takes racers back to the start. The are plenty of sight lines on the map for both long range and close quarters combat, while the jumps and whoops and changing elevations keep everyone on their toes. There are also land mines placed throughout the map that can be used to knock driver's off course or to outright kill them. Video: BattleCross - A Halo: Reach Racetrack - YouTube Pictures: The Start The SX portion of the map (table top, whoops, rhythm section) There's a Short skybridge up to where the MX section begins You go under the broken bridge, into the whoops, and then a half bowl/off cambered U-turn You take a step up/triple, pass through the checkpoint, and then hope the bridge back down to the SX section Overview What inspired your creation? I've wanted to make an SX Map that was really good for BT. I kind of did that with Sierra MX V2, but the lap was a bit long to make it a fun BT map, and it only really worked well with Lasers. This map plays well with both snipes and lasers. How long did it take to create? Not that long. This took maybe 10 to 12 hours over about 3 days. What aspect took you the longest to get right? The big drop at the end took a while to make consistent. I probably spent 3 hours on that part alone, not even counting the time to do the aesthetics for it. Download BattleCross
This Battle Track is incredible! I really love the idea of crossing BT with SX/MX. Very fun and the map keeps you on your toes. The land mines really kept it interesting. The jumps were great. I didn't get a chance to play this with a party yet, but I want to! Invite me if you get a party going. Battle Snipes on this sounds so fun. Great job! 5/5
I'm working on a Battletracks/Hardcore gametype right now, and making another version of this map for this new gametype.
Did you ever get a chance to make that new game type? If you need testers I would love to check it out! I got a chance to race the map with a party of 10 and it was awesome! So much action, it was crazy. Nice work.
Thanks! I haven't gotten to work on the game type anymore, I've been busy now that I'm back in college for my final year. I'll let you know when I get around to testing and finishing it.
