Too bad the onos is about to be gibbed under the monorail car moving at 15MPH.

Remember: Fully licensed source engine <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

Or in other words: When Onos and monorail meet, the Onos will be hurt, BUT the monorail will derail, marines are going to fly through the air and I will sit in my vent snickering at the sight <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

The onos will jump on the monorail car, and smash the marines!

The coolest model shot for now.
If im watching the onos i think "wow its looks like an elephant, no like an mammoth...no it looks like an real onos.
Realy it looks great, i know its "only" a conzept, but its very cool.


I realy hope you get the cool feeling like the maps look on the concepts.

Hassaan

Thats so gonna make me go straightnos every time

schkorpio

looks to me that the onos is almost twice its original size <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> i hope it will be that way in the game! PWNOS!

also LOL @ the marine in the middle trying to do Crocodile Dundee on the onos......

ChuckstarNL

Looks incredible! *can't wait*

Looks to me like perspective.

cerberus414

Wow. Concept Art keeps getting better and better. Nice Job Guys

Delphic

looks a bit bigger to me even with perspective, although not twice the size... hope it is a little bigger tbh, that's perfectly justifiable and the onos needs a buff anyway.

Mr. Epic

Awesome! The onos should be big like that! A mastodon of pwnage.

Would a increase in (hitbox) size really be a buff to the Onos? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Awesome concept. :]

ya seriously- now we can finally get some gorge on onos tentacle pr0n. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Yeah remember when the tentacles used to shoot a stun shot? I'm hoping NS2 finds a use for them again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

You're implying that it will no longer be lacking, when in fact these are the same tentacles the onos has always had.

i've always wanted tentical type attack for the fade - kinda like the barnacles, snatch a marine of a group and reel him into a pack of skulks <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Radix

The tentacles are a good addition. They give the onos a very "alien" appearance while maintaining its bulk and overall intimidation.

In less words, he no longer looks like a rhinoceros from Hell.

Ripur

The tentacles are actually old school. You can still see them pop up sometimes when switching weapons during game play, though it's rare.
In NS 1.04 the onos had paralyze instead of stomp. The tentacles would stick a marine and do the same thing as stomp but for much longer.

I missed the things

Yeah, they're not an addition. They're on the model right now as we speak.

Awesome

Awesome! These concepts are great.

To be specific:
Paralyze stunned the marine you aimed at(any range) for 6-7 seconds, but he could still turn and shoot. It was ideal for knocking jetpackers out of the air, and since they took fall damage back then it usually killed them.

Kisle

I would love to see the onos put a marine with his tentacles in his mouth

myrigth

They're not tentacles, they're dreadlocks.

Yeah, which meant onos was actually the counter to JP not HA as he is now usually seen. Funny how changing one attack can completely rearange and class's role.

lol @ monorail cat.


Loving these blog updates, keep up the good work guys!

Great concepts, I'm looking forward to more concepts.
