    Made by:
    JBARRON402

    Map:
    Foundry

    Overview

    [​IMG]


    Description:

    • This is a true motocross style racetrack. It follows the typical layout of a motocross track with different sections, including:
      1. One big drop down jump
      2. 180 bank that leads to a smaller drop down jump
      3. 2 Rhythm sections that are unique from one another
    • The map allows for big air and test the suspension of the mongoose. It is compatible with eight racers and the racetracks gametype. Everything is bordered off. The finish line isn't cheat proof because it would affect the flow of the map and I had no money left.

    Driving tips:
    This map requires driving skill to be the fastest and get the biggest air. I don't want to give away too much and ruin the fun in learning how to drive it, but I will give some tips for inexperienced drivers.
    • Don't always just go full throttle on the stick. You can carry more momentum if you decrease your speed sometimes.
    • If you get are a little sideways in the air and are afraid you are going to crash on the landing, let go of the accelerator and you will usually land it. Hold the brake for extreme cases

    What inspired your creation?

    • I had seen several attempt at motocross style maps, but I thought I could do better to achieve the motocross style racetrack. I made the big jump at the big jump at the top to show someone what I would do for a jump. After some friends and I had a high jump competition by trying to clear objects, I decided to go ahead and make the rest of the track.

    How long did it take to create?
    • It took me about 12-15 hours to create. Another hour or two to fix it up to race on.
    What aspect to the longest to get right?
    • That would be the first drop down jump that gives you such big air. I made it so that you get different height on your jumps by how you drive off the top platform. If you slow down and drive the drop down part rather than jumping off, you get way more air.

    This looks like a kickass racing map. I will definitely download it because it stays true to the motocross formula. And good job on the dumpster-made rythym section.

    Wow this looks pretty good. The hills looks smooth and the dumpsters looks bumpy (that is a good thing). 5/5 and a download from me. Keep making maps!

    Awesome map! I love the motocross terrain. I've never seen a racetrack that had this theme and hit right on target like this one in Halo 3 before. 4/5

    Yet another fantastic track by jbarron...
    Good interlocking and excellent features like the dumpster/ wire spool stretch and the jumps are very nice too.
    I haven't seen a track quite like this before, and for that, it gets a 5/5. + rep for you!

    I didn't expect this much positive feedback from this one since many people have made motorcross style racetracks before. This one just came out of talking about motocross maps and me saying that it would be that hard to make a fun motocross map. Then I just start showing someone some ideas and then just made a map out of it.

    Wow, this looks really well done. The interlocking of the double boxes and walls look almost seamless. I must say, this is a 5/5 and good rep for sure, I love all of the bumps!

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. And as of right now, no there will not be many more maps from me. I am busy with school and football season has started. Going to see my number one ranked Georgia Bulldogs at every game.
