    Unogey eight

    [​IMG]

    "This ancient floating figure eight circuit in the sky was once used by suicidal grunt racers, who would partake in grand tournaments to see who would be the last and greatest grunt standing. The tournament would happen every 17 1/2 years like clockwork and nothing would stop it... that was until a group of fearless Spartans and Elites would annihilate the tribal grunts who occupied the planet, now the racetrack awaits fearless heroes to continue on the legacy of the grand tournament, will you take up your mongoose and race? Yes you! MASTER CHIEF!!"

    Unogey eight is a race track centred around two killballs and set in the skybubble of sandbox and as a consequence if you fall off the track you die. The map focuses on narrow straights and close calls as you try to avoid instant death killballs, plummeting off the edge and other racers crashing into you at the same time. But hey after you got that lap point nothing can stop you, right?

    I think this map is a very good example of how to take advantage of the new sandbox sky part of the map. It looks very iteresting and is obveriosly one of the first race tracks on sandbox.

    I disagree this looks like a boring racetrack it looks like you didnt take any advantage of what you can do with sandbox, there are no real changes in track height, no banked turns, the track is not very wide it looks like you will fall off alot. The shape is nice but make the track wider, make more banked turns and make sure its not all one level and you'll have yourself a relly good race map.

    Very neat and tidy. It is hard to avoid those killballs when someone is smashing you at the same time. Although I am not a big fan of single-wide, ground-based (bottom of skybubble, you know what I mean) tracks, this one deserves a 4 out of 5.

    I really don't like this I agree 100% with CC Pybus. You didn't take any advantage of what sandbox can do making long banked interlocked racetracks. All this is is single wide (hard for more than 2 racers). I really hope this is not what sandbox becomes...

    lolroflzorz! The explosions that you are refering to are called killballs. Anything that touches them instantly dies or explodes (including vehicles). In other words don't touch it!

    This is good. It really takes advantage of the new objects and the skybubble. I like the death jump. The track itsels isn't that amazing because its mostly flatland. You really need to put some track in the air. 3.5/5

    It's Uggnoy if you're reffering to grunts. and also it doesn't look like you used much budget up, couldn't it be a bit bigger?

    Um, this is an alright map but I'd like to point a few things out. One, you might want an anti-cheat mechanism at your finish line, grav lifts easily do the trick. Also, I probably wouldn't call this so much of a race track, but you could call it a obstacle course. The reason is because since the track is so thin, you cant really pass anyone. Plus, this track looks like it needs a bit of finesse to complete which is fine, but again more of a characteristic of an obstacle course.

    Other than that, I like your track features. The dodging of the kill ball I'm sure will be a popular stunt, and your jump at the end is pretty epic too. You've got some good ideas, just take them as far as you can and you will create some awesome stuff :D

    well, congrats on getting the pack before anyone else, blah blah blah.

    forgewise, it's very narrow which makes it look like it's intended for just one or two people, not some huge tourney. the killball and the sky bubble would probably get more frustrating than fun. 3/5
