Installation:
ONS-Maelstrom.ut2 -> UT2004\Maps


System Requirements: 
Polys very low on average (normally about 70,000)
Map is CPU intensive, however.  CPU will be the bottleneck for FPS on this map - a computer with a strong CPU and a mediocre GPU will have very nice framerate.  A computer with a weak cpu, even with a very fast GPU will have trouble.


Description:
Onslaught, reborn.  Maelstrom features 23 intermediate nodes between the two cores.  Each node constructs twice as fast as normal nodes, but are destroyed twice as fast as well.  This change, coupled with the amount of nodes results in massive alterations to gameplay mechanics.  ONS-Maelstrom is like no other map made - it is a new kind of Onslaught.  ***This map requires the ECE Bonus Pak!


Version History: 
v1.0 - initial release


Construction time: 
Three months.  I'll estimate 150 hours.


Known bugs:
Bots, per the norm, tend to be idiots from time to time.

Shambler - C0d3 H4x0R
Without him, this map would not be possible.  Shambler scripted the variable-health powernodes, as well as enemy vehicle-telefragging teleporters.
