    Power Plant
    Created By: x DREAM 76 x

    Gametype Supported: Battle Tracks
    Recommended Players: 8-16

    This is my new track on Sandbox. The track is centered around a live power plant. Use caution when approaching the installation and be sure to stay clear of the reactor! The roadway is a figure eight style power bank with several dips and cambers. Full throtle fun awaits with each convex turn and hill. Crank up a huge party of Battle Tracks & enjoy a ride around the power plant. This map is not for RaceTracks. It's for Battle Tracks so please don't comment saying how it's not designed for Racetracks. Thanks! And feel free to leave comments & reviews. Please don't post a review until you actually DL the map.

    Sure it's a simple track, but it's supposed to be simple and looks incredibly interlocked and the power plant looks great. Battle tracks with lasers would be great on here. Maps with general themes to them are the best in my mind. The figure 8 shape is banked nicely and I just really like the result. It also looks long enough to enjoy it most. Nice job. I will definitely have fun playing with my friends on this one.

    The power plant idea is pretty nice and original, nice design. The layout is simple, but the smoothness of the interlocking in this map is very good. You might could add to the whole powerplant theme by adding a few fusion coils by the track in the "high voltage" area. Battle lasers looks pretty fun on this map. 4/5
    edit: I dl'ed and played a few games on this map, and I really liked how the reactor was always going crazy, and how the fx spawns later in the round. We played a few rounds of battle lasers and it was fun, the map is a pretty good setup for it I think.

    Yep, dream, I knew you were up to something. There is no way dream is going to stop creating race tracks, no way. I really like the look of this map and how it has a theme to it. The track looks really smooth and I really can not wait to get into a party and play this with you and a bunch of friends. Nice job with this man, I have RROD and I am going to be on vacation for a while so I won't be able to play this untill I get back with a fully repaired xbox. I do like how you separated each starting point for each of the teams, so that there are no problems in the beginning of the game. Dream, I think you have created one of the best racetracks ever, the only problem I could think of with this map, is that it is a bit too open. I have no experience of gameplay however, as mentioned, so I have no idea how it will end up playing. Very nice Job

    Simple, sleek, sexy. All of the characteristics of a fine woman.
    The one thing I would do is redesign is the nuclear reactor, I just don't like it, and there is probably a better way to do it. It's like the fine woman a mentioned previously with an early case of herpes. Horrible, but curable.
    ^xD someone please siggy that^

    EDIT: Maybe make the starting area just overall a bit rounder, I don't think it flows with the track nicely. Haha these may be only ascetic comments I'm leaving, but they're good ascetic comments.

    This one of those tracks that plays great for Battle Tracks, but is just too bland for Racetracks. The forging is nice, and I know how hard it is to make a smooth track that dips and turns. The Start is perfect for Battle Tracks, but once again gives a huge advantage to the racer closes to the track in Racetracks. It is so hard to make a track that is good for both. I was thinking for the start instead of having the pit stalls away from the reactor, you could make the pit stalls go around the reactor, to expand on the other guys Idea for the start. Good Track for Battle Tracks.

    Just cruised here a while ago, and I am quite pleased with my time here. It may look rather small from the pics, but it's really a decent size.

    I especially love two things from this map. First is the structure in the starting point. It's just so eye-catching. Second is that one part in the track where the angle becomes different (The section with the Shield Doors). My only complaint about that part is that you can barely go through it without hitting the shield doors.

    Overall great racetrack. Nice job.

    Incredibly well forged, and the track is very smooth to drive on, however it feels a bit too boring in racing. Waiting to test it on Battletracks soon.

    Well, It's a Battle Track, not a RaceTrack. So I am not sure why everyone keeps harping on that. I really don't see how the pit stalls could go under the reactor. But thanks for the commets though guys. Also to the guy who gave the map a 4/5.. How did you come up with such a professional review? What was that score based on? Did some of you actually DL the map. Thanks.

    Well I can say confidently that I did. Yes, it does suit Battletracks, not Racetracks however.

    Well gee I wonder why he made this for Battle Tracks?Oh thats right he created it by himself so why would he try to make it for another gametype.But it might be able to support.

    Afetr playing the map with some friends this map greatly supports battle tracks.It is fully packed of action and mysteries.I love the theme and concept idea of the power plant.It is genius.Overall the map is great.

    Typical premium forging. I like the huge drop-down part (or is that a climb?)

    Is the reactor actually dangerous? Is there like a killball in there, or are you just trapped in there if you fall in?

    Overall the map is okay, but definitely not as good as some of the racetracks out there.

    After months of work, on and off I'm glad with the results Dream. Although the design is not overly original, I absoloutely love the theme. The minute the power plant erupt's, it just gets even more epic then it already is. People are saying it does not look fun and is just kinda the same as alot of other tracks, and I do have to agree partially but if you are to play Battle Snipes or even Battle Lasers, then you won't be missing out on the real adventure! Turns are as smooth as usual from you Dream, all completely cheatproof so overall, these are my final ratings:
    Forging: 9/10
    Entertainment: 10/10
    Creativity:8/10

    Overall,I think that equals up to about 9.5/10, great job Dream can't even think of what you will come up with next!

    Another great track, Dream. The power plant adds a nice touch to the already aesthetically beautiful track, and the smoothness is top notch as well. Although ffa racing is not as extreme as a lot of other tracks, it is still fun and plays a lot like the oval tracks out there, except less boring. Battletracks will surely be a blast as no spot is really safe so the best defense is a good offense. Overall, I would have to say that this track may not be received as well as your others, but it is surely one that will live on forever as a truly exquisite Battle Track.

    This track is well made and great for battle racing. I know you set out to make the track as a battle track and great job with that it is very fun. Nice asthetics also. I would not recomend the track for reqular racing but thats fine because you did not make the track for that. Overall a good track Dream. 4.5/5 cant wait to see whats next.

    I can't wait to try this map out tomorrow to see what it is like... and the power plant thingy erupts? I think I saw that in a comment... if it does that is some cool asthetics man =P

    It looks amazingly smooth like all your tracks... and although a simple layout it looks good for battletracks... 4.5/5 =)

    Thanks, I guess.. I know it's not as good as some of the other tracks out there, you should DL and actaully play the map before you say it's just ok without actaully playing it. Thanks for the comment though. Did anyone DL the map and play it in a big party! It's pretty fun. I wanted it to be a fun track. Also, to just about everyone who commented thus far, I know it doesn't work for RaceTracks. If you read the first page you will see the recommended game variant. I never stated that it was for Racetracks so please let's all get past that now. I wanted the track to be a rush and fun for several BT game variants.

    I have DL the Track and it is one of the Bigger Figure 8 Tracks that I have Played, about the start I would Like to talk to you about it on XBL. I think that I could make I better than what it is now.

    Thanks for the offer, but I think I am done with the map. I am going to make a mirror of it soon. I am glad you like it. Did anyone get a chance to check it out?

    Yes I did.I love the huge figure 8.And when the power plant erupts the map is pure chaos.Just a quick question.When you are at the wooden part,is it supposed to be that steep?
