^ whacking my browser into submission!!! I missed this post!! (as evidenced by my reply to your question about Floodgate!)
This sounds pretty awesome! :D Very much looking forwards to the new-style nodes!

oops another file (for the custom nodes) will need to be installed. It will be embedded in the map in the next version. Info and link added to first post, Wormbo's Onslaught Specials is the file.
This is one of the highest quality new ONS maps I have seen in awhile. Very good job! The only comment I have is that the map may be a tad too small. It just feels kind of small for a 32p ONS map. I would like to see this map in action with 32 players. Then we would really know if the size is correct.
Has the link been updated? Downloaded this yesterday and was just going to look at it, but I don't have the nodes file right now so I cannot look at the map (runtime error).
Edit: See you linked the ONSSpecials in the original, just installed that and looking now.
Edit2: Oh man, I love all the little touches on stuff in this map. The new node displays, the way the link beam sticks to nodes, the hud stuff for the jump boots, the destroyable barricades. Very classy.
I do think Choco may be right in that this map could prove too small for 32p. I have some ideas for modifications that might make it more 32p suitable but we'll have to see how it plays first and what's practical to pull off before going into changes.
thanks guys. I agree that the link setup as it is could be kind of stale for 32 players. Truthfully I never cared for UT3 Downtown much, I just started making it for 2k4 just to get some new stuff in the game. I am all for changing the link setup or even adding new areas to the map for more nodes to make things more interesting. I will have to get Crusha opinion on that also.
Any ideas? Suggestions are welcome. The only thing I say no to is tankmeup type vehicles or adding 75 more tanks to the map :)
