    Fire & Ice
    Created By: x DREAM 76 x

    Gametype Supported: Battle Tracks
    Recommended Players: 8-16

    Fire & Ice is a brand new Battle Track built in the crypt of Sandbox! The map is based around the idea of a battle between good and evil. The sky part sections loop and bank around the darkness. Glowing red and blue lights support the effects of fire melting ice. The spawn is recessed behind a giant gate. The ground sections meld seamless with the sky sections and really give the track a nice open feel. Power slide drops and banked S turns will have you stretching your mongoose to the limit! Crank up a big BT party and have a blast. This track took me three nights to make. It was very fun to make and I plan on making several more tracks on Sandbox! Comments and feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    It looks good, I don't think I've seen any race maps in the crypt, and Battle Tracks is always fun. I really like the lighting effects too. Once I get the new maps I'll download and check it out

    Wow! This track is amazing!
    It looks verysmooth and easy to drive on. The part I like is all the curves and turns. It makes the track more challenging then it really should be (which I like).
    What really makes me happy is the mall it is on. It's perfect for this! I cannot belive how well the background goes with the track.
    All in all, this gets a 5/5. It's a really gold racetrack ;)

    This map looks very good. From the looks of the pictures, all is well built and looks like a blast to play BT on! Here are my personal thoughts on the racetrack:

    -to start off, it dosent seem as epic as your recent racetracks but I guesse there was only a three night effort put into this
    -all is extremely smooth and expertly forged. Natural by dream
    -the steep shield door turn looks like it could be awkward, but I may be wrong I'll have to see once I get Sandbox
    -it looks like it is mainly fire, didnt see too much "ice" It would have been rally cool if you made like two completely different sides, one blue and the other red
    -very "twisty" which looks amazing to race on, but may be challenging as well.
    -not the most original I've seen of your racetracks, nothing that stands out too much exept for the fire and ice idea
    -starting gate looks completely EPIC glad to see you added some aesthetics in
    -not the longest I've seen on Sandbox, but I suppose you are in the crypt

    Overall, this racetrack looks very good and deserves a 4.5/5 rating. Keep doing what you do best Dream! :)

    PS: I would love to make a video for this, if you would like me to reply back and I would be glad to! If so, you got any song requests?

    This is a really nice racetrack map, all the banked turns look pretty damn epic.If you can, I recommend you to make the blue lights more prominent and noticeable, as right now it looks alot like a big red looping track.

    Also, if this is a Battle track map, is there a weapon loadout or do we have to play it with our default weapons? I'll DL first and get back to you with a nice proper review. For now, this map is a 3.5/5.

    Wow dude. I had a lot of fun racing on this track with you guys. This is one of the best Sandbox race maps I've seen, and definitely the most fun. When you built this epic track, you showed the community how to utilize the crypt to its full potential. Nice dude. I'm honored to be a part of our group.

    Work: 10/10
    Design: 10/10
    Creativity: 10/10

    Overall: 10/10

    This map is really awesome to play on.
    The part I like the most about this map are probably the turns, they make the gameplay more challenging and fun. The decoration of this map is really good. The two red and blue lights really make this map look amazing. Also the racetrack is really smooth, probably the smoothest I've seen lately. Well done 5/5.

    Another well made map by Dream 76. This looks very good. I haven't seen any race maps in the Crypt yet so props on that. I'll definitely give this a DL and see how awesome it is.

    This track is great to drive on, very smooth, nice big banked turns, etc. Basically just like all your other tracks though. No offense but maybe try adding a fair amount more scenery. I dont really know what else to say other than great track but I think its missing something. Anyways Im going to give it a 4/5.

    Ps. Your destination is not cheat proof I can just drive back and fourth inbetween the grav lifts.

    Yeah, several people sent me PM's about the goal point glitch. I just spent an hour fixing it. I updated the link to the new version. Please DL the new version guys and edit your review scores if need be. Thanks for the great comments and enjoy!

    Dream, you've really outdone yourself, you said you put three nights of effort but this is up there with Quasar, probably even better. Not uncheatable and set up well for battletracks, perfect.

    My opinion for your next sandbox track is building it in the skybubble. My friend and I have started a map there and it's coming out phenomenally. We've experienced the lack of stress building up there and love it. It's easy to be made uncheatable, this portion of the map's diameter is incredible and possibilities are endless, just a suggestion though!

    This is a nice map. I'm not sure I like the color effect (not the lights, the "juicy" or whatever) but I definitely like the idea! Good execution, looks great and even, definitely going to be a hit. 9/10

    I used the juicy filter because I wanted it to feel like you were in an underground cave. The effects for Sandbox are awesome! Adding the lights was a great idea that bungie added. Sandbox is the bomb!

    Very nice racetrack man the turns are super smooth as always with you lol. The banks are at the right angles and I love you're thing with the fusion coils at the start lol, pro forge told me about it it was quite funny when I did it =)

    The only problem I have is that on the first bank you are going straight but it is angled so you have to kind of drive the other direction and then you have to turn so sharply because of that and can't see where you are going as well. Overall great track! =)

    This is the first map iv'e downloaded in ages, and definately one of the first few i've seen in the crypt, which gives it a realy epic look with the lighting effects you've added, but what caugt my eye most is how smooth it is. awsome job.

    Yes this map is very smooth especially compared to the like 10 really bad maps that have very little to no interlocking becuase people just got sandbox... It is quite fun for battletracks becuase I played a game on it today...

    Also dream why wouldn't you join me and Kona today and why did it say you were offline?

    Great job dream, The interlocking is very good, and the map has a very nice flow, plus racing is amazing, only thing was it was kind of short, but that's because you made it in the crypt probably, Good job
