Neat Way To Kill An Onos

BaBy_SnIpEs · January 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Takes lotsa comm skllz but it works</div> Ok the other day i was playin NS on our server and i was comm on ns_caged. we were getting our **** handed to us (as usual to the marines on our server they are second-rate nubs) and we are gettin bile bombed by fades. All the sudden ppl start shouting over the mic "onos!!!" "shizat!! ono!" and the usual pandemonium when an onos gets near your base. i knew we were going to lose, so i was busy placing turrets. in waltzes this big dumb onos right as i place a turret on top of him and he gets stuck <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> and we go over and knife him <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> woot.

you need a good ping, mad comm skillz, 19 resources, and an onos. blend them together and you get a very funny ending to the game.

my point??? you dont need dumb grenades to kill an onos. all u need is one of these <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/turret.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='turret.gif'>

Other neato tricks that are funnnnnyyyy!

on ns_hera (plz dont fix these bugs they are fun) in the marine spawn theres that big blast door that u cant open by your res tower...well theres a little space behind it that you can build a comm chiar and a portal on, and if you build it close enough to the door, you can build it through the door <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> then you have everything you want there to survive and the aliens cant touch you unless they are smart like me and know that spores go through walls <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

um yeah, thats called an exploit. You can either spawn outside, unable to do anything, but be spored, or you can be an alien and wait the 4 minutes it takes to get 3 hives with no interference and bile bomb through the door. yeah big fun. though when the morons who do it and think they are invincible start dying, then it is a little fun, but i'd much rather it be gone

on topic... i've been yelled at by a server admin for dropped a building on him... of course it was just an accident because it was one of those servers you can't see the aliens in command mode

BaBy_SnIpEs · January 2003

yeah thats why im saying it takes alot of skill. you can only see him on motion tracking and motion tracking is a bit delayed. as for the admin you dropped that building on, he needs to grow up.

if the onos had a brain he would have realised he could attack the turret and you could have wasted 19 res...

You were lucky

doesnt scan reveal all aliens in range??

He wasn't talking about your post Baby, he was talking about the post about the Hera.

Also, dropping by to say hey Snipes, haha, it's me Amsterdam!

TheHornet · January 2003

ok a few notes... i dont think the onos would be able to attack because when you get stuck your adreline doesn't regenerate so you cant attack. then about building outside the map, thats lame and an exploit. And motion tracking doesn't work on linux servers so good luck dropping that on an alien that you cna't see at all.

MeOnCrack · January 2003

I tried doing that once as commander on ns_tanith. Onos came in and got blasted and tried to retreat. I dropped a turret on him. Problem was most smart onos would be using charge to leave and enter a base and dropping a turret only slowed him down for like 1 second. Thought it was a smart idea at the time but just turned out to be a waste of resources.

Sometimes if you are stuck you cant turn around to actually see the object that keeps you nailed to the floor.
This could be the reason why the "stupid" players as you name them just dont smash the structure to bits and
pieces.

good idea but if there is an onos running at u most of the time there will be a few fades or at least a lark so it will be hard tos top them killing turret,

btw about not being able to c the aliens? if there in range of your men then you as commnader can see them?

T_RAT · January 2003

Rofl, would have been funny to see all marines knifing him to death like they were skinning him for dinner or something. Can u imagine the onos, if it were me i would have been a tad angry. esp if the aliens took the base over before he could get back.

off topic- dont u hate when u just change to onos and your teams wins. Mainly because i was gorge.

Yes I do, even more when we've somehow managed to overcome the 4-gorg situation (happens all the time)

easy way to kill onos - either you or your commander should close a door on it

it works <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>
