Title: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: ((Kàkà§hì)) on December 16, 2007, 06:44:02 PM: Very challenging in the driving department. The lap nav is a really satisfying when you get the hang of it. After a while I was hitting the laps around 135 and it was VERY fun to drive. I set up a server for team race to see how it would be with more people and I didn't get many bites...kicked a few and unfortunately banned one person. I'm still interesting in seeing how it might be with racers focusing on racing. I set the vehicle spawn time as short as possible...once you lose your hog over an edge chances are you are not going to fetch it...anwho - 2c

P.S. Spawns are a little weird, but once you learn the path it's not any worse than some maps

Gives you that ability to make your armor blend to your hiding spot. There are SOOOO many hiding spots that this map is absolutely awesome for it. Plus you get to learn how to sneak around undetected while trying to get back to your perch after you die :P

Nevermind...unfinished - no navs...no hogs....no fun...( y am I always the last to know?)

Totally agreed. I love racing on yoyorast island.

Post by: BFM_SirTaco on December 27, 2007, 09:22:10 PM: the only problem is when you die you have to start over from the begining there are no shortcuts to get back to your nav
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Bleach on December 27, 2007, 11:23:15 PM: actually there is, if you go at half speed and spin as MUCH AS POSSIBLE off of the left side of the garage on the inside, you can land near the 5 or 6th nav or whatever and its a shortcut to the rest of the map :P
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: BFM_Hydra on January 27, 2008, 01:44:22 AM: I think it looks cool, though I've never palyed it. I've heard from people it's annoying. But I think there should be some challenges in race. Maybe make it only 10 laps per team instead of 15 if it takes too long.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: ((Kàkà§hì)) on January 29, 2008, 10:06:12 PM: Yea..it is challenging. Thats why I like to try it. Look...it can't be any worse than Devil's Drop...sigh. I give up :'(
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: BFM_JANE on January 29, 2008, 11:38:23 PM: I tried it out (the one and only CE map I've ever experimented on) and thought it was fun once I started getting used to it. The worst part is that I had to start back at the beginning of the map if I fell off and died or something. It didn't seem like there were any shortcuts (like in Infinity--a big map--you can cross over at the intersection if you died on the other side); if you died, you had to follow the nav path to get back to next nav.

But it's a cool map!
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: AR~Unit»Zero on January 30, 2008, 11:11:07 PM: It's one of those maps where it might be more fun with slightly fewer people so there is less contact and people dont have to constantly start over because they were killed. I will tell you though, this map is incredibly fun to drive, and it saddens me that people never seem to race on it. :'(
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Draucus on February 17, 2008, 09:39:40 PM: This map, I agree, is a great map to race on, but the respawns take you far away from a vehicle. So I say, that if this map would make it to the CE racing server, then I would suggest a modder should change the respawns or place vehicles at the respawns.

If you want it in real bad send a PM to Hazy and Batman and they may consider it but I'm not a CE guru =/

Post by: Igor on March 24, 2008, 01:36:42 AM: You can only fit 6 hogs in the garage though.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: =TH= Batman on March 24, 2008, 02:25:38 AM: nope will not be on the server
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: -JR-Pongo on March 27, 2008, 10:18:40 AM: It would be a good map for time trails, though... take turns racing laps as fast as you can. I would suggest making each trial 2 laps, though, to force people to make the last lap drop at least once. It would also be good for a 4 on 4 scrim. Not good for general racing, though, because of the lack of shortcuts.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Bowser on March 27, 2008, 12:09:57 PM: played it once, and it is a PAIN for me, because... I don't know, but I am assuming that a 15 minuet lap time isn't good :P
It's a cool map though, and IF I spent the time to learn it, It would be fun. Its AWSOME for slayer, there ARE many hiding places. (theres a secret one that has two mongooses in it, but I can't remember where.... :P) pity its not in the rotation.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Draucus on April 01, 2008, 08:22:00 PM: Mongooses only show up on races if you go into the secret room. It takes a long time to get there. Sometimes you mess up and have to take your time to get there again. The only way to play with mongooses without going to the secret room is if you play CTF or some other game mode. I would just lock this thread, because the decision has already been made. It is not best to be in the rotation.

Post by: OrbitAddict on May 17, 2008, 05:15:24 PM: It is a very fun map though. Especially with ALLDev. ;D
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: R41z3r on July 06, 2008, 05:41:03 PM: I love this map. It's very challenging and fun for any gametype, but especially race .

Post by: Lucky on July 10, 2008, 07:10:45 PM: For anyone that likes racing (which i assume most of you here do) you should definatly try out yoyorast island (sp?) its definaly the best race coarse ive ever been on even though the game type is CTF, well i just wanted to suggest it to yall. peace

Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: BFM_Octane on October 15, 2008, 01:14:12 AM: Probably one of the best looking gamer designed maps ive seen in a long time for any game. But all these years past and i still cant bring myself to love it for race. I know you can get the hang of it but it takes longer than most maps to do so. Im very picky on my personal preference for a CE Race server, its not just my self and the other racers to consider, its those who aint used to race, or the game physics, and personally i wouldn't have it in the map rotation due to the difficulty level.

But your in "beta" testing maps on the server so go for it! Its also a popular CE map.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Goalie on October 15, 2008, 04:26:27 PM: One quick question: How do you get from the 2nd-to-last-nav to the score nav? I've tried a few ways but none of them seem to work. Of course, walking solves the problem, but how do I do it with a hog?
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Bleach on October 18, 2008, 08:34:16 PM: go up one of the sides(doesnt matter which) and try and Aim yourself to land into the Hog Bay

also there are 3 shortcuts to navs that I know of, one is right to the middle of the map(in terms of nav rotation) and you need to do a hard spin to the left when coming out of the hog bay to land down there(you can walk but its harder), and the other is to take the various teleporters around the map to get the navs.

If we dont keep it with a race gametype(which I hope we do, cause I LOVE IT) then id at least like to see either Sniper no Shield Slayer version, or a CTF Version

I spin off either one of the floating pathways and land on the nav below. (I prefer the LEFTHAND pathway, as you get the benefit of the wall along the right edge of the grassy area below helping you to stay on it!)

Yes, on that narrow strip of grass where 1st nav is! :o

It takes 3-4 tries to find the right spot, but it the fastest way that I know!

Looking at the new CE rotation, I couldn't believe that this map isn't in there!
I'll have CE up and running again this week, and while the last time I raced on CE was more than four years ago, I still remember that my favorite racing map was, by far, Yoyorast Island!
I would like to nominate it for inclusion :)
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: BFM_dStruct on April 16, 2011, 08:03:33 PM: Have to agree with you Crimson. Maybe Cool forgot about it :)
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Còól on April 16, 2011, 08:41:13 PM: I remember it. I love it also for race. I ran the CE server once before and the problem we ran into is it is an extremely hard map to drive. I will put it on there from time to time just for the ones who like it, but for everyone the day to day rotation will not have it.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: BFM_Crimson on April 16, 2011, 08:49:28 PM: Fair enough, it can be a bit tricky ;D
Maybe it could be included if we were to have scrims :)
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: BFM_SWiFT on April 16, 2011, 08:58:13 PM: Crimson, I'm just impressed that you managed to ressurect a two year old thread.

And the only good thing about Yoyorast is the secret room. ;D
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Wic on April 16, 2011, 10:15:03 PM: Yoyorast..

ewww.... not a fun map for people new to CE, can be very discouraging. I know when I first started CE I'd quit when it came up, lol.
Now I know the map and I still quit when it comes round :P

Remember in scrims we get all skill levels, that should be considered when deciding on a mapcycle. Just sayin'.

TY Còól.

I for one am of two worlds on that map.

On the one hand, it's KA-RAZY FUN with 4-8 players. On the other hand... GIVE ME THE RCON PWD if there are three or fewer players!!!

Also, when there are 6 or fewer players it seems to be "the map on which people call it quits for today" a lot....

Finally: I you put it on, PUT IN THE ATVs! d_b
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Escorpion on April 18, 2011, 10:43:02 PM: lol wow i hadn't seen this thread before o.o
i just downloaded yoyorast islandv2 today and it's almost similar to the first except it has some weird and i would guess not appropriate things in there, anyways, i would've recommend that, but seeing as you all are very familiar with v1 i'd go for it.

i personally have just gotten as far as the 2nd to last nav lol because like someone mentioned i just couldn't get that nav lap XD
and everyone varies as to what their preference is, for example with me, i don't mind starting at the beginning, one: you get to drive the same way getting more and more experience and getting better at it rather than just driving it once and next time fall into the same place or w.e. because that happened to me lol, i would fall on the same place over and over again and it was frustrating x.x and secondly, people have some time to recuperate and keep going towards their navs.

danger canyon and sidewinder maps came to mind when i thought of that: you kill someone and they spawn immediately at one of the bases giving you only a small amount of time to get the nav if needed and get out of there, which many players can't do since you all say we have different skills. but that's just me.

i say we put it in the rotation that we have now, i mean we have siege which is a very long map along with some others. if we can do siege we can do yoyo island :)

oh and with v2 of the island there are different vehicles to it, so you get to choose :P which i think is better than just the normal vehicles, although many people won't like that lol since they're used to it, but it doesn't hurt to try out something new every now and then guys :D

and sorry for the looooong msg. just expressing my opinion here :) I hope i didn't offend anyone or made anyone feel bad at all.
Title: Re: YoYo Rast Island
Post by: Skull©atch on April 29, 2011, 11:30:43 AM: I agree with the fact that Yoyo Rast Island is very challenging. I downloaded the map myself, and I think it has the challenge level at a good rate. Maybe we could put this map in the Halo CE List, just because of it's challengeable route. Anyone agree with this point????
