This map was one of the first [[Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|created]] for the multiplayer component of ''Combat Evolved''. The map's unusual layout was created by multiplayer lead [[Hardy LeBel]], who claimed Rat Race as the product of the tutorial series he was watching to learn the modelling software 3DS Max, in particular the tool's extrusion function. The majority of the map's layout came from just this tutorial series, with only a few minor tweaks thereafter.{{Ref/YouTube|OheqVrMGPv0|The Act Man|Interview With The Man Who Created Halo's Multiplayer|Time=453|Detail=7:33}} | This map was one of the first [[Development of Halo: Combat Evolved|created]] for the multiplayer component of ''Combat Evolved''.
