    Prism is my 4th post on ForgeHub and it is my first Race Map. It is also my first map on Avalanche. The idea to make this map came spontaneously. I wasn't even thinking about Halo or Forge and then the idea popped into my head of making a racetrack on Avalanche where you go in the cave and drive off a man cannon.
    So I went to my Xbox and started forging. I started by making the part in the cave and then the rest of the track kind of just morphed around it. The track has two jumps; obviously the big one in the cave and a smaller one about halfway around the track. I do have it setup for the Racetracks gametype and the objective finish line sort of thing is right in the middle of the cave jump. There are teleporters on the ground below parts where people are most prone to fall off to get back to the starting point.

    And without further ado...*drum roll*...
    THE PICTURES!

    i always love ractracks on avalanche, but wut i love the most is the finish line in the air. And to top it off the forging is great. Nice track 5/5

    EDIT: My apologies sir, it appeared as if you could jump between the mancannons for easy points.

    Other than that, looks quite nice, though it might be a tad short.

    The point scoring seems cheatable but you could fix that with some transponders. Other than that it looks like a good map. 4/5

    The interlocking on this map is very good, but the transitions could be better. Such as when you go from the starting track to the ground of Avalanche, it is a big rough and the jump back to start is rough as well. Also, the last shield door before leaving the mountain tunnel shouldn't be angled, as it usually bounces you straight back, causing you to lose all momentum. And then there's the fact that you can jump back and forth through the man cannons to the checkpoint. Overall, the track has potential, but needs some work. JimP factor: 55%

    It's not cheatable. Ther's the grav lift that shoots you into the room and you can't jump over it

    The transition i would've fixed but i ran out of walls/bridges so i couldn't.
    that shield door is annoying but there's not much i can do about it, i ran out of shield doors so i can't make it any better and if you got rid of it completely, everbody would just run into the wall.
    Also for the last time everybody, THE MAP IS NOT CHEATABLE.

    who cares?!?!?!

    This track looks good except for the part where it goes into the cave room thing. I think that you could have trouble landing on your wheels and going. Dont you just land and then bounce over. I dont know I'll have to try it out.

    AnF Pro Score 4/5

    the interlocking is a tad sloppy but overall good. the flow is ok and i do not like the it has been done several times by others and it always ruins the flow.

    flow=3/5

    Creativity=3/5

    Forging=4/5

    10/15 not to bad

    All the times I tested this track, I always landed on my wheels. If you don't, it's very rare.

    Um can you be more specific cuz everyone else says the interlocking is fine and I've never seen a track that goes through the cave. Give me a link to one.

    wow this map is great! probably the best race map ive seen on avalanche, i like how you have to go off the jump and through the hill marker ring, its very original. good job cant wait to play on it.

    I don't think this is great at all. Don't get me wrong it is good. I just hate people giving out 5/5 because it is floating and they never even raced on it or anything. The forging aspect is pretty good except that the whole track doesn't flow very well together. I give it a 2.5/5

    Thanks for the comment!

    Have you actually raced on it? It actually flows together very well. Don't say it doesn't flow well if you've never raced on it.

    Nice job. I like avalanche race tracks and this one has an original idea with the tunnel and I love the finish jump. 5/5

    Looks pretty good, I love the great interlocking. Seems a little short, but the interlocking is very good for Avalanche, and that it's floating in the air. Hope to see some more great ideas like this, and with your talent for geoforming and interlocking.
