A Race Map by AgentSmith_#27 is half a Conquest map and half a race map. It takes a few tries to get the hang of the turns and where to go and accelerate. There are no new custom units but the race course is not half bad since barely any modders have ever made a racing map. I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR MAKING THIS MAP. ALL CREDIT GOES TO AGENTSMITH#_27 ALONG WITH ANYONE CREDITED IN THE README.

1: Introduction-
This is my first complete map, so of course it's not perfect and I still have some learning to do. Overall, though, I have alot of fun playing it, and hope the rest of you do as well.
2: Installation-
To Install "A Race Map" unzip the Folder this readme is in (A Race Map),(If you have NO programs on your PC to unzip it, I highly recommend 7zip, you can find it via google) copy/cut the folder ARM and paste it into c:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Gamedata\addon (Note: If you customized the location when you installed Battlefront 2 it may be different) If the folder addon does not exist, create one. (It IS case sensitive) Then start up Battlefront 2 and A Race Map should appear with the other maps under instant action.
3: Uninstallation-
To Remove A Race Map, Delete the folder ARM from c:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Gamedata\addon (Note: If you customized the location when you installed Battlefront 2 it may be different)
4: The Story-
It is the middle of the Clone Wars. In one of many battles that rage on throughout the galaxy, the Republic has damaged a CIS capital ship. The ship attempted an escape through a largely uncharted system, but instead crash-landed on an unnamed ice planet. It has been rumored that a technologically advanced race once lived on that planet, and that much of their technology still exists within the ruins of their settlements. The Republic High Command doubts the veracity of these rumors, but the Republic cannot give the CIS even the slightest opportunity to gain any advanced weaponry. The order has been given that all the droids upon the planet must be destroyed immediately. Perhaps this opportunity could be used to discover if there are indeed signs of any advanced technology that could be used during the wars.
Republic mission- The CIS have already entrenched themselves into a small outpost, and hold the superior position. There are two command posts that must be gained if the Republic is to win the day, but the soldiers on foot can't reach them before the CIS do. Your mission is to take a speeder, race through the map, and reach one or both of the command posts (depending on how fast you make it through the course) BEFORE the CIS do. If you can accomplish this, the rest of your men will arrive on foot and the battle should be won easily. If you choose against taking the race course and instead go on foot with your men, the CIS will almost certainly take both cps and the battle will be very difficult to win.
CIS mission- Your mission is easy. March down the long, empty canyon, take both cps, then march down another long canyon and exterminate the Republic. Pretty boring stuff, this map is meant to be played as the Republic.
Multiplayer- Race against your friends through the race course to the "finish" poles by cp 2.
5: Mission Notes/Tips-
A few mission notes-
It's easy at the beginning of the map to take a speeder up on top of the mountains and avoid the obstacle course, and it's even easier to take the speeder the same way the rest of the Republic soldiers go. If you do that, the map can be won easily, but then it's no fun at all, is it? This is meant to be a race map. On multiplayer you can race against your friends, and on singleplayer it's a race against the CIS. On singleplayer the "easy" difficulty is to take cp 2 before the CIS reach it, "medium" difficulty is taking cp 3, and "hard" is managing to take both cps before the CIS come around. If you die the first time without managing to grab a cp, it does help save time if you just go around the way the rest of Republic soldiers do on your speeder.
Since the focus is supposed to be on the race section and then the fight to take cp 2 and 3, after one team takes both of those cps and you've gone through the race course the battle can seem a little anticlimactic. To make the ending go a little faster, there's an extra speeder at cp 3 incase the one you're riding gets destroyed (if you want to reach the CIS cp without a whole bunch of extra droids spawning there, just speed past them without killing any and you shouldn't have much trouble).
There is a bit of a secret area that can serve as a short cut (not too hard to find). You have to enter the secret place on foot, however, it won't work with the speeder.
When racing through the map it's easy to fall and lose some health unless you know where to go, so I strongly recommend that you choose the engineer class. Go at whatever speed you're comfortable with, if you go too fast on some of the jumps you can die right away.
