    This is a race map variant on snowbound. Since snowbound has so many crates i think this was the best map to do it on. The map starts like this, 6 mongeese sit at the starting point, when it starts is dependent upon the players, but usually its right away. The course then continues on from there and wraps around and inside the map. Finishing once the players have either reached the kill limit, or hit all the checkpoints

    At this point there are currently 2 game variants that work well, VIP, and Slayer, VIP works best.

    To download the map go here:

    Here are a few screen shots:

    The slayer variant is a 7 team game, with 2 people to a team. 6 teams start off by mongeese, and team 7 is placed near several objects that they can use to mix around the race. This variant is dependent on the players will to follow the rules, so there really is no concrete system where the teams have to stay on the mongeese.

    The VIP Variant follows similar rules, but points are directed toward checkpoints instead of kills. VIPs are armed with rockets and can blow up opposing players, respawn is 3 seconds. There is also a seventh team in this one, whose purpose is to make the round a little crazier.

    This is still really in the Beta stage, few of my friends are ever on to try this fully, but i think that it works great with the few we had playing it, C&C much appreciated.

    Wow, most racing maps have crappy boundaries and are messy. The boundaries are very neat and full in this map. It looks pretty awesome like that. But although, most other maps don't have 60 something of those purple containers. Still, nice looking.

    Not too bad. I have a natural dislike for race maps, but this one actually looks pretty impressive. The track is fairly obvious (as obvious as it can get without being stupid), and it's really clean. Nice, professional look, and I really like the starting point. Good job! I'll queue as soon as I'm open!

    As much as I don’t like racing map (there are like 7 to a page on the forums) this one looks a lot better then most, unlike many race tracks the boundaries are so thrown together its hard to even understand the track. 5/5 for detail!

    looks neat and clean, needs a custom gameplay variant (some sort of escort?) i assume?

    I never knew snowbound let you place so many purple boxes :surprise:

    if only they were immovable

    I already have this map.

    It was a good race track for something that was pre-heroic map pack. Especially since it wasn't on Last Resort.
