Twine On Forge World by Yugnoswam

First Impressions:
Although I saw this before it was posted in the gallery I was excited to see what it was and with the name like twine I was expecting the track to twist and turn. As soon as I came out of the starting area I can say I wasn’t to be disappointed.

Minor Errors:
-- You have said in your post the track has minimal scenery for a lot of killing but this doesn’t stop you putting scenery around the track as it won’t be in the way of shooting but still can be seen. Without it the track looks a bit bland and needs that extra bit of something to make it stand out.
-- Its not good for battle lasers as its way too easy to get kills without the scenery or cover in the middle of the track it’s too easy to take a shot off and get a kill. It starts to get annoying to get a checkpoint you have to die at least 4 or 6 times before you get one and when playing it with lasers at least two people had over 60 kills. Also when playing battle lasers when you came out the spawn and started to come down to the first spiral this was a key area in where people kept getting killed and became annoying due to you only just spawning.
-- There is no kill barrier near the end of the track the part after the man cannons, so if you get shot off it’s a long fall to your death and racers will not enjoy that.
-- It would have been nice if the majority of the map wasn’t made using coordinates and take a bit more time doing it free hand and using a bit more forging skill as people would appreciate that more.

Positive Feedback:
-- The two part spawning area I think is an excellent Idea first with the one way shield doors and the then normal shield door works a treat and lowers the amount of spawn killing quite significantly and I believe it would be good in other battle tracks maps in the future.
-- The race track is very smooth and is perfect to drive on couldn’t find a single bump. Also the track itself does look aesthetically pleasing.
-- The teleporter near the end helps prevent cheaters jumping of their mongoose and trying to cheat so that makes the map more fun without those pesky cheaters.
-- Kill barriers are placed very well across the map so this helps prevent the racers fall for long periods of time as this can cause frustration. (Apart from the one mentioned)

Suggestions:
-- Maybe place some scenery around the outside of the track so there is something that makes the track stand out and it’s not just a plain track.
-- For it to work with battle lasers you are going to need to place more scenery and cover on the track otherwise I wouldn’t recommend this at all for the use of battle lasers as it can get a bit tedious.
-- Place a kill barrier near the end of the lap so you’re not falling for a long time.
-- Maybe you could have done at least one of the spirals free hand or maybe the whole track next time.

Final Thoughts:
Its a very smooth track with good intentions, however I wouldn’t recommend the use of this for battle tracks until the problems are fixed however it is more enjoyable when used with battle snipes. But the map is a bit plain and lacking in some areas.

Not the best Lasers track.
