    Map: BlackHeart V2 (doesn't say it is a V2 but it is)
    comments are greatly appreciated!

    Gametype (battletracks or this): Chaos Racing

    New video thanks to Xx Pr0 F0rge xX: BlackHeart


    Giant Note: Alright i've gotten a few comments now that it is not cheatproof but I am assuring you it is cheatproof. It just doesn't look like it is. If you don't believe me go and try for yourself =)

    This is my 5th map I think and it is BY FAR the best I have every created and mabey the best out there, I don't know you decide. This map took around 30 hours to make border and test a few rounds. I love this map and it can get quite confunsing if you just look at the pictures. It took alot of planning and I had to redo a few parts to make sure I would have all of the right objects. The thing with this map is that it is very competitive and has alot of power slide / drift turns that take skill to master. There are many spots to pass people and is tons of fun. The bank turns were tested to perfection and everything is super smooth. well enough of that to the pics!

    Main overveiw which is where I get the name from (the bank looks like a heart =):

    Thanks again and for anyone who was with me while I was forging and testing this amazing track! =)

    Special Note: The pallets are like a lava flow... They can be very important... HINT HINT

    Please reinforce the tags on this map =)

    First and the map looks really good except the fact that it looks like you can cheat very easily on this map. But none the less I would rather play with honor rules on a map that looks this good. 5/5.

    EDIT: Upon closer inspection this map looks completely cheat proof. Very good job. Neatly forged and everything.

    Thank you and yes this map is completely cheat proof I tested it quite a few times and the only places there aren't barriers are places where it will only hinder you if you fall off or jump off of it lol

    Surely one of the best race tracks ever made on Halo 3. Very sweet aesthetics, interlocking works, cheat-proofness brings extra points aswell. I just need to get to play this. But, for a race track, 9.5 out of 10. Just because I won't give a full 10 to almost any map. Only if it's perfect.

    I love sandbox. I just wanted to throw that out there lol. The racetracks im seeing on it just blow foundry away. This is one of the better tracks that ive seen. I dont really make race tracks so i cant tell how the cheat system would work but it looks like it would work fine. And yea I guess you could cheat on the top part by just dropping down to the lower tracks but...idk how you could fix it so oh well.

    Not only is the race fun, but this map looks amazing aesthetically. The endless twists and turns, the ramps and jumps, it really is a very well designed map. 5/5 this gives racing a whole new meaning.

    wow!
    ive always wanted to see a track that's like that, with the slanted turns and going under the tracks, or W/E you did.
    nice job.
    keep on forging.

    Very nice. The intrlocking is perfect and from what I can see it is uncheatable. I love the banks and your screenshots are amazing. The only thing is in every race track I have seen on sandbox, every single one of them only has banks like this one. This is just my opinion but I think an amazing race track would have more, maybe jumps? Or loops? Instead of just banks over and over again. Sorry, Im being kind of a critic here but thats what I would like to see in a race track. Anyways the map is beautiful, 5/5.

    Unfortunately, the map is quite easy to cheat because you forgot to put all the grav lifts on instant respawn. I could just shoot the grav lifts and drive back and forth between the goal point. I am glad to see that you have the mongi on instant respawn at least, most people forget to do this. I don’t know why you put the spawn time to 10 seconds as well. Putting the mongi on instant respawn bypasses the whole 10, 20, 30 seconds thing. I guess it’s OCD because a lot of people seem to insist on this. I would have also increased the spawn time on the sniper to a least 150 or 180 seconds, 90 is too soon for a power weapon like the sniper rifle.

    Other than those mistakes the track was pretty fun. I like the filters that you choose and the lights. It gave the track a nice effect. I would have put more barriers than you did though. You had plenty of money left. I am mostly referring to the section right after the man cannons. I fell off there a few laps. That was certainly a good spot to close in. You should fix this map up and make a V2 before everyone DL’s this tomorrow.

    thanks for the criticism although I was pretty sure I put the grav lifts on instant respawn... I also put them on 10 second respawn... but I will go ahead and fix a few of those things for you lol... The filter effect and lights from your map kind of inspired mine lol becuase you're effects were awesome... I'll update the map link for DL later today once I fix the sniper spawn rate and grav lifts and I'll add a little more barriers for the man cannon part you were talking about... Thanks for the actual review though =)

    Don't fix it for me, fix it for you. You claimed the track was uncheatable. I am prob the best at finding cheats on tracks. I just wanted to point out that you didn't put all the grav lifts on insatnt respawn. You can check in forge if you would like.

    yes I have fixed the grav lift thing I guess I forgot that I added the other gravity lift so it was set to 3 out of 4... also I barriered the turn you said would probably need it lol... I had a couple of other friends fall off there too but I though they were just being stupid lol... So it is now a V2 but on bungie it doesn't say so... also I got myself banned on bungie so could you put some tags on the map for me like battletrack and racetrack and race map and other things like that? I'm going to get my friend to do it too sometime soon if not now lol. Thanks
