    1.) ....

    2.) Look at the filename, level3_<b>CONCEPT</b>_thumb.jpg. It's just conceptual artwork for the Lerk, there could have been 10+ more designs like this before a final design was picked.

    1) I think the onos is some sort of strange human/bull/cow hybrid.... all in one package.

    2) its a lerk, without the membrane for the wings

    A punk cow is much like a punk accountant. Instead of piecing thier ears with pencils, or having Calculators hang off chains, Punk cows wear spikes and grow green mohawks.

    During playtesting, the Onos used to have the ability to stand on two legs and fire its spiked udder at foes. However, this was soon taken out because this fifth hive (yup, five hives) ability was waaaay overpowering, as its extreme rate of fire and damage makes short work out of even a 6 man HA/HMG/Welder team. Add Primal Scream to that and the Onos can even melt the toughest of turret farms.

    For its 6th hive ability, the Onos would also get many new abilities, all motion-captured by the cow who auditioned for entry to the NS team <a href='http://www.e-studio.dk/matrix_cow.wmv' target='_blank'>using this movie clip as an example of her work</a>.

    Kung Pow is like an hour long.

    Okay, a REAL question: <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What WAS Overwatch and why was it taken out?

    because ns games tended to be non stop battles, if u had to leave for a moment (ie bathroom), overwatch would kick in and u would basically become a human turret

    it was taken out because it was too acurate

    You shouldn't type in danger-zones. It shouldn't come back. You can always press f4 and rejoin after you come back from the fridge(whatever).

    That movie was...it was. It was cool, sick and funny in the same time. I want more <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes Sid, that happened.

    Once I turned on overwatch while standing on a catwalk in Refinery hive on ns_bast, and killed 2 lerks and a skulk in under 2 seconds with my LMG. One of them happened to be Flayra, ohoh. The next build Overwatch had been removed. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
