    So this is my first race map, and i dont know how good it is or exactly what the proper format for posting it is, but here goes

    Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

    The map is really really big, it has some tricky turns and some really fun man-cannon and grav lift jumps, and the map interweaves with itself quite a lot.

    can you give feedback please.

    the two teles are there because sometimes people glitch and spawn on the other levels of sandbox, its so that they can get back to the map

    The beginning of the map:

    The second part of the map

    The third part of the map

    Maps posted here need to include the following:

    • The title of your map as the title for this thread (so your map is called EpicSkyTrack, you'd put that as the title here). You aren't allowed to add anything else to it, only your map title.
    • At least 1 embeded picture of your map on the thread. There's a guide to help you here:http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-forge-maps/18644-embed-screenshots-your-map-thread.html.
    • A description of your map. Tell us about it, forging insights, what makes it unique, etc.
    • A download link to the specific file on your fileshare or the thread you created on the Files forums at Bungie.net. You have that already.
    The rule is that you're given 24 hours to fix your map or else it gets locked. You're supposed to read the stickies before posting in a forum.

    NO ONE ELSE POST UNTIL HE FIXES HIS THREAD.

    Pictures are up now, good job. The map does look epic however it looks very narrow in alot of places and from the pictures looks extremely difficult, if not frustrating.

    Yeah its a bit narrow in some parts, but everything is completely do-able, most people i have had tested it can get through a hard part after 1 or 2 tries, i didnt make it to be a completely just gun it full speed map, its more like an obstacle course race

    I can't give you an honest review because I have not downloaded or played on it yet and thus no idea how it plays...\

    What I do have, is a very special set of skill acquired of a long career that make people like me, nightmares for people like you...

    Hahahaha just joking. From the pictures, it looks quite difficult to drive on, narrow, and sloppy. Perhaps this was intentional, and correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems like not much thought was put into it.

    Regardless, i love racemaps and I will get back to you after I give it a go.

    7/10

    A for effort. lol jk

    thats an average map.
    i think it would be better if u interlock all you objects you used for your map.
    i think if you would do a version 2 of the map the map would be very good because to layyout is not bad .

    People are probably spawning on other levels of Sandbox because you forgot to put starting points. Change the gametype in the start menu while forging to delete the original starting points. Place new ones at the top, and it'll work fine.

    OMG IT NEADS MOAR INTERLOCKZ!!

    lol just kidding..your track looks decent considering its your first one, it looks like it will be challenging. Im assuming this is a challenge track and not a typical race track. Also, I see only 3 mongooses in the pic - are there more than that? You should have at least 5 or 6, if not all 8. Also, if you want to fix the problem of people spawning on different levels of the map, go into forge. When you are the monitor, change the game type to VIP or whatever game type you use for your track. Then delete any spawn points on the ground or in the crypt and make sure all spawn points are in the sky bubble at the beginning of the track. You don't have to interlock ALL objects you used on your map, maybe just a few key objects that help the track to run smoother and look better. There are a lot of sections that look bumpy and poorly forged. I havent tested the track out yet so I can't give it a full review, but from the pictures it looks decent, but in serious need of a V2. Theres always room for improvement. Keep on forgin.

    I'm sorry but it is just too sloppy. You need to make it a lot neater and then post. You will get a lot more dl's. I just cant drive on something that sloppy.

    EPIC??!! Nothing about this is epic! By now you should know that race maps [usually] need "epic" interlocking, but yours is one of the laziest I've ever seen. As it would turn out, people would either have fun respawning or go 2mph. 1/5 You shouldn't take advice from your friends who know nothing about forging that this is a "good map".

    The money glitch has nothing to do with it, lol.. It must be because you either have no starting points or not enough respawn points. Did you save the game in VIP mode? Check the starting points on VIP mode. Make sure they are in the correct place.

    make sure there are enough spawn points at top then make sure you don't have any spawn points or starting points down on the other levels the budget glitch may have spawn points in it.
