    This map is for use with the standard Rocket Race or Rocket Stunts game variants.


    I definitely had rocket boosting in mind when designing this trick course, but I tried to make it in a way that doesn't require boosting to reach the destinations competitively. I also tried to stay away from mid-air destinations that require jumps (the only one is pictured above). No grav lifts. To maintain some familiarity, I tried to keep the destinations near their locations in the Sandtrap Speed variant. Two are actually the same, but the rest are sized and shaped specifically for this variant.

    The team spawns are designed around the first destination, which is a giant field goal. It's almost two dimensional, and like an invisible field goal plane, it extends inifinitely upwards (well high enough anyway).

    All 4 teams have a shot at the first destination, it just comes down to how good your boosting aim/timing is. Red and Green teams can boost across the gap between the temples. Blue and Orange teams can boost on the approach to the destination.

    Here are some of the other destinations:

    The Arena League Field Goal:
    The smaller version of the field goal can be tough to hit.

    The Soccer Goal:
    Blue team is pictured here getting denied off the woodwork.

    The Pool:
    The only jump, this near two dimensional plane is reachable from the top or bottom.
    [​IMG]

    The Big Hill:
    This one is located at the top of the big hill, between the two most popular paths up.

    As big as an Elephant:
    This giant is a boosting target from all directions.

    The Gate:
    This is another near two dimensional plane, making a gate out of this tower.

    I also included some groups of fusion coils for boosting/double-boosting to the various destinations.

    I don't know why, but I really like how you placed the destinations. The pool and field goal look sick haha.

    Looks like fun although some of the locations may be hard to get to. Also when you say boosting do u mean using a rocket to make u go faster?
    i dont play much rocket race

    Wow I like the way this post is, like the four pictures in one, good job with that.

    For the map, this could be fun for a long time just because its on a huge map with mongooses, kind of like rocket race but requres more skill and is way more fun.

    All together 4.8/5

    Now that the elephants are out of the way, you can have more fun with rocket race and I liked how you set this up. It is very epic and you did a good job with the gates. I also like the 2D gate. 5/5

    last time i checked you got banned for boosting...

    just kidding i know what you mean, anyways the map looks very fun and i like the way you put all the "go to" markers especially the one by the gravlifts in the first picture.
    belive me i wish they would replace the old rocket race sandtrap with this one i would have so much fun shooting me and my partner into the air

    Wow, this map is epic, and probably the most creative rocket race map I have ever seen. I like especially the pool! Great idea!

    very impressive, sir. Like others have said, great creativity! You've really strove to make your RR map super unique, and you definitely succeeded. Im a big fan of the pool and the A-frame gate. Can't wait to get some games goin here
