ONS-IslandHop

This volcanic archipelago served once as a gateway in the human wars of the 21st century. Transformed for tournament use, a series of bridges now connects the islands. These bridges, though excellent use for ground based vehicles, do not provide a direct path to battle. Manta's will be the primary choice for transportation.

Map Description

Island Hop is an Onslaught map consisting of six large islands in a diamond shape, connected via bridges. In the center is a volcanic island, the middle of which houses a Redeemer (see map). On the outskirts of the map are small, secluded islands housing target painters. On each of the diamond islands except the center, there is one powernode for each island, and on the farthest corners on the east and west sides lie the powercores.

As the description for the map suggests, the optimal form of transportation is the manta due to it's ability to float over water. For some reason, all ground based vehicles take damage rapidly and explode when they tread water deep enough. Swimming is also impractical, as it's slow and makes players vulnerable.

This map was included in the ECE of UT2004.
