Sandbox Banshee Bundle

Banshee Bundle (Banshee Racing!)

Banshee Bundle

Made by Prodigious 7k.

​

Banshee Bundle is a very fun race map for banshees on the ground floor of sandbox. I had the idea when looking at Airshow by anus lad. He gave me permission to use the idea to make a map of the same style as his, so i did and here it is. I wanted to make this because his track (if you can call it that) was not structured at all, and all the scenery made crashing common so the play was very stop start. Also because it was in the skybubble you would find yourself dying for no reason while flying (because of the floor of the skybubble), this made gameplay very difficult.

My map is different because:

• It is on the floor level with the guardians OFF so you cannot randomly die.
• It follows a structured path which is fun.
• It has very little scenery, although you could say i did not do much to the map, the map works better this way and gameplay is what counts.
• All the points are the same and there are no annoying obsticles which hindered you more than helping gameplay in anus lad's version.

Skipping sections of the track is not cheating, it is intended so people behind can quickly get back into the game, making it fun for everyone, as opposed to mongoose racetracks where if you fall off, thats it for you unless someone else falls off.

As with all racetrack maps everyone needs to be on separate teams. The maximum number of players is 4 because of the number of banshees available. Sorry.

Details for the Gametype:

Spoiler

Here are the more important settings for the gametype.

• Score to win: 50 (4.5 laps uncontested) (my best time on my own is 2:13)
• Goal movement: Move on arrival.
• Goal movement order: Sequence.
• Damage resistance: Invulnerable
• Scoring: Goal arrival points: 1.
• Vehicle use: Full use.
• Number of rounds: 1.
• Time limit: No limit.

This map is intended as a first version and if it goes down well i will experement with more complex designs.

Here is an overview of the map:


Here are the spawns:

Thats fine if you make a remake. I didnt make any asthetics because this is just a concept and i wanted to know if it was worth making amore asthetic and challenging version.

 

As ive already stated this isnt meant to be asthetic or good looking, just as an experement to see if its good enough to make a more complex and more asthetic version, Not as a finished map.

 

You never respawn as you can only die from assassinations and your in banshees. However you can cut corners which could in very rare cases steal a win but most of the time this makes the gameplay better than mongoose tracks because you can always get with the people at the front instead of being stuck at the back.

 

Thanks for the feedback. If you liked this map idea, i am currently about half way through making a new, more balanced and more complex version with more asthetic design. if you, or anyone else wants to help test the map when it is nearly finished, it should be soon ish, just send me a message on here or XBL.

 

As i have said, i am currently half way through making a new map, not a v2 but another banshee track in the same style. it will be longer, funner and have more turns.

 

1. That's intentional, it gives everyone a chance.
2. Please comment on Banshee Tango, it is the newer map of this style i made.
