    Map: Sandbox

    Difficulty: Medium

    Gametype: RACETRACKS

    Description:
    Dark Dunes is a race over the dunes around Sandbox with the lasers blocked off. There is also a dark filter activated to make the race more interesting. It is also completely cheat proof.

    The race starts at the top of the cliff overlooking the main level of Sandbox. After 20 seconds the radio antennae starting gate will lift off and the race will begin. The first drop off the cliff has a smooth, naturally formed landing and will give you good speed. After landing the drop you drive over the whole flat part and into the darkness on the other side. You then do a turn to the right and drive over 2 dunes. Red and blue lights are cleverly positioned so you can see by the parts you need to. You will then go over a smooth bridge that stretches over the canyon formed by 2 big dunes. The bridge also has red/blue blocks so you can see where you’re driving. After 2 more turns to the right you will come to the objective and then jump off the cliff again to start the next lap.

    There are teleporters positioned throughout the track so you can easily get back to the start. There is also a teleporter next to the starting area that leads to a viewing platform in the sky bubble.

    A version without the filters is also available. It’s more boring but you can see better.

    Yay, first.
    From the pictures, it looks intresting, but it seems quite plain. Maybe you could add a Jump or two. I'll reply when I play it.

    there doest seem to be much of anything in this map and its only a circle with the dunes as hells not creative at all i think you should take a look at other peoples race maps to see what kind of tracks people on FH generally seem to like such as Back burner or blackheart

    I like the idea of you using the dunes in one of the first sandbox ground maps... but it looks a little simple with just being a circle / oval thing... The idea is good just try getting a gaurdians blocked off canvass and then make it super long and awesome!

    do not listen to everyone, this looks good, it does not have to be a huge structure floating in the sky to be good, it goes back to when racing was all on the grounds that bungie created

    this look real fun especially with the racing on the dunes
    4.5/5

    P.S. Love the bridge :D

    Hey good map except for the fact that all it truly is is one giant circle... but It definetly doesn't deserve a 1 out of 5 like some people rate every map...

    Edit: Omg I rated it 1 4 out of 5 and it is at 2!

    I dont see why people like Im a Berk are giving it such low ratings, maybe he should try actually playing it before he judges it. Just because it doesnt do nine loops through the air doesnt make it boring. The track is made to be simple, and best of all, it's actually really fun and quite well made.

    It is quite simple but the dark filters make up for that. They make it the first truly dark track. It's also as long as possible because I reached the object limit making it.
