[tracks] Tube2k, Reactor2k, Wallride2k

[Mr.Bazil]

Holladriho everyone ! =D

Finished my first three tracks I have created and tested the last 5 days
It would be really nice if you could take a look on them.
They are quite tricky but once you got into the track architecture they provide you with a lot of fun =D
They come out of the box with : Podium, Intro, GPS, Ultra-high shadows calculated, Camerachanges if usefull

The trackdesign is a bit different from the stuff I ve seen so far :
If there are a lot of players on these two maps they are going to see eachother very often on the same track from different angles. They are builded as crossings / crossroads

Please let me know what you think of them, would love to see them being played with about 20 players or so ^^

Hey, I downloaded and raced your tracks, here is what I think:

The Tube2k

(Good)
- Startjump is pleasing
- Feels tight for the most part
- Jump to finish gives a nice fly-by of the track
- Has an intro
- Ingame Cam-change
- GPS

(Not Good, not Bad, but needs to be mentioned)
- Very simple intro
Scenery is a bit lacking

(Not so Good)
- Some parts really break the flow, for example right after the first jump- you are coming in with high velocity, but need to brake down heavily to get the tilted curve
- Jump after loop is way too short, I need to decelerate to land on the road
- Loopcam ends too late, try setting a new clip to end it
- Loop feels bad. Loops in general are not good in Canyon, but this one is not only a double loop, but you absolutely need to steer and it has 1 block of ceiling, making pretty annoying

To conclude: Nice ideas, but you need to work on the flow a bit, and think of something concerning the loop. Also, a good driver could potentially cut the track there, by not driving the loop but passing through the first checkpoint and reversing.

Reactor2k


- Mood and scenery fit the trackname
- GPS
- Intro
- Pathfinding was very easy, despite the track largely the same


- Short Intro
- GPS has mistakes


- Pure Wallrides and Loops: They handle bad in Canyon. That's not your fault obviously, but I heavily dislike them.
For me, it was just not fun.
- The narrow turns at high speed- and there were a lot of those. I had to hit the brakes a long time before I even hit the curve. And then 180°? The broke the track apart.
- No variety- only wallrides, loops and narrow turns
- OMG fire out of my car! Seriously, red lines are more for replays and outros, I don't like them while driving as they are irritating.

To conclude: I don't think pure Wallrides and Loops can sustain a whole track in Canyon. Only my opinion, but I just dislike them in Canyon.

Wallride2k


- Nice lights
- Second wallride is challenging without being too frustrating
- Intro & GPS


- No Loopcam


- Pretty much as in Reactor, I don't like wallrides...
- First Wallride is seriously annoying. You hang in that wall like a drunken duck. I'm playing car wot goes fast, not bird with a bottle.
- Again, fire out of my car!
- Ending can be annoying since changing course in a loop is even more annoying than changing course on a wall. Perhaps make the loop straight?

To conclude: My complaints are pretty similar to "Reactor" on this one, though the narrow curves fit a lot better since you arrive at low speed. I'm no fan of wallrides.

Ok, that's it from me. I'll be glad to review your next tracks, perhaps with less wallrides?

Ello there =D

thanks for your reply(s)!
You ve written quite a lot there, and its something I can really work with.

A question to the rest of you out there who have driven the tracks yet (if there is someone left =P):
Do you think similar in all these points Cr3atex mentioned above ?
Would be great to hear feedback from more ppl, or at least let me know if everything necessary is already "said" =D

Thanks so far
See you around !
