Torlan in Unreal Tournament III looks almost nothing like ONS-Torlan from Unreal Tournament 2004; while many things were kept the same, such as but not limited to the placement of vehicles at each Core and for the most part every Node as well as the weapons at the weapon lockers, it was completely rebuilt from square one, and has a few new things of note.

• New East Road and West Road Nodes

Perhaps the most significant addition would be the East and West Road nodes. While the West Road node is north of the South Tank Node (PowerNode 4 in UT2004), the East Road Node is on the opposite side of the map.

• Cicada replaces Manta, HellBender and Raptor

Instead of the extra vehicles on/nearby the bridge by the Center Road Node, there is now a Cicada. The Cicada can be driven by whoever controls the Node.

• Berserk replaces Damage Amplifier

There is now a berserk at the Center Road Node instead of a Double Damage powerup (Damage Amp in UT3). The berserk is on top of the bridge by tremendous amounts of ammunition for various weapons.

• Tropical Desert theme dropped

The Tropical Desert theme that was present in UT2004 was dropped and replaced with a more lush, rocky theme that saw an increase in foliage and water flow; water was significantly present, flowing from the south Prime Node, past the Center Road Node, and to the north Prime Node. Players could swim in the water at each Prime Node, which allowed for better tactical defence. As a result from all of these changes, the map was obviously much larger than the UT2004 version.

Pickups

• Armor Vest - one at each Prime Node
• Shield Belt - One at the top of the tower
• Berserk - One at the bridge over the river where the Center Road Node is located; a.k.a under the tower
• Big Keg O' Health - one at each Core by jump-pad to the Sniper Rifle and Jump Boots
• Health Pack - numerous at each Core and Prime Node as well as the Center Road node
• Jump Boots - accessible by Jump Pad at each Core

Weapons

• Weapon Lockers - many present by each Node and Core, usually holding a Shock Rifle, Link Gun and Flak Cannon; the locker at the top holds a Longbow AVRiL instead of a Flak Cannon
• Longbow AVRiL - one at each Core; ammo at each Prime Node
• Sniper Rifle - accessible by Jump Pad at each Core (with ammo); beside Jump Boots
• Redeemer - one at the top of the tower

Vehicles

• Manta - One each at each Core, each Prime Node, each Tank Node, and (not in Torlan Classic) at the West and East Road Nodes
• Hellbender - one at each Core
• Raptor - one at each Core
• Scorpion - one at each Prime Node, 2 at the Center Road Node
• Goliath - one at each Tank Node
• Hellfire SPMA - one at the West and East Road Nodes (not in Torlan Classic)
• Cicada - one at the bridge over the Center Road Node

Tips & Tricks

• If you get the Redeemer and plan to destroy a Node with it, do not fire it from the tower; it is highly noticeable and gives sharpshooters ample time to take it out.
