Farthest you've ever chased an Onos?

I've chased one out of flight control on Summit down to Sub Access and up past Data Core into the hallway before Reactor Core before it finally did the barrel roll

Every shotgun round spent and only 1.5 pistol clips remaining

A bit ridiculous
Instead of satisfaction, at the time I actually felt a little disgusted that it took so much ammo or that the dude should of gotten help by then

    The fact you could keep up with him makes me think he probably didn't have celerity up and maybe carapace was his first upgrade. Might explain the toughness of the kill. Also, were you're weapons upgraded?

    Edit: And yes, that dude totally should have gotten help by then. Well, might be a good way of teaching him to get a 5.00 mic.

    I chased one into an enemy hive and promptly died due to my heroics (stupidity).

    How many of you were chasing him?

    If it was just one-two marines He should have just turned a corner, waited, then killed you. If there was more than two of you, shame on you guys for not taking him down sooner.

    I'm really curious as to the onos's thought process. I mean that's a huge distance to go to ignore marines chasing you.

    I chased one from Repair into Cave, ran out of ammo and decided to jump in the waterfall.

    *Fond memouries of gathers*

    Games so close we are literally waiting for the onos to appear and it either steam roll us or we manage to kill it with our JP's.

    *Onos appears*

    "Bait it!!!!... PHASE !! PHASE!!! KILL IT!!!!"

    *Onos dies*

    *Other team gg's*

    In some ways I will miss the 5 min onos... xD

    I love faking "almost dead" running away, there is always one rambo who wants to be stomped and gored. Its a shame you cant devour anymore.

    I don't know about onos, but yesterday as a gorge backing up skulks, a marine chased me down after all my teammates had fallen. From Shipping to Operations to Elevator Transfer to Hub to North Tunnels to Warehouse... around that route. Took about 20 something seconds. I made it to the hive and circle strafed the hive while spitting back at the marine and took him out. Booya. I applaud his persistence though.

    It does seem a bit ridiculous, i mean a lone marine should never ever be chasing an Onos, Onos should always kill a marine 1 v1.

    Why is a marine chasing onos, thats pretty freaking broken. not to mention a basic onos which is melee should be able to outrun a marine.

    They really need to fix the cheating jump system, where marines can run faster than a skulk on roids.

    From C12 through Pipeline up to the Dome and into Cargo back up to Y-Junction, he was running because I had a jetpack and a med+nano master commander and was probably new to the Onos class :P
