Wait..please tell me this isn't right..fades/onos' at first hive? Wasn't if they aliens "had" a 3rd hive up that they can still go Onos and if they "had" a 2nd hive up..they can still go fade?...imo the other way was better..i play both marines and aliens and the aliens are fine the way they are and so are the marines..bare a few exceptions for both of them.
If so though, I think Marines should start with HA already teched and already placed at the spawn lol <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->
The idea of an onos being able to cram you in his stomach and digest you slowly sounds powerful, but you shouldn't really be tangling with an onos all alone. Since you're always fighting along with other marines, just wait for them to bust you out. If the onos kills them too, then the game is probably close to over anyway...
I have far from read all the posts but here is my 2 cents.
Currently NS has no blood(other then alien), no screams of pain, no organs flying, no body parts falling off, and no damage corpses in anyway. And you want to avoid devour.... Well if you think NS had a marine with blood flying every where screaming in pain as he kicks his feet ended with the sound of the majority of his skeleton cracking then you are quiet off from the way it is displayed, so far the team has avoided a whole lot of gore so the game can be open to more age groups. So basicly it is the same as you biting a marine just with a different animation and different effects(marine vanishing, you not moving fast, ect).

I can't even imagine how it might feel to be killed by getting repeatedly splashed with large amounts of corrosive acid.
So how is an onos simply swallowing "you" whole in one gulp any more disgusting than being slowly torn to pieces and dissolved in acid?

Let's be honest here. This ability borders on useless UNLESS Marines are not able to suicide or F4 while in the Onos' stomach. An Onos only needs a couple hit to eliminate any Marine anyway, so just using Devour to kill things is pointless. The entire advantage of Devour is that it puts one Marine completely out of action until he eventually dies or is busted out. For this ability to be useful, any form of respawning(short of leaving the server) should be disabled for the Marine inside the Onos.

If you can't handle the concept, then don't play. If you can't sit thru the movie Aliens, then don't play. It's that simple.

Actually i'm not concerned with the violence but i remember hearing that it takes quite a long time for the onos to digest the marine? So isn't it gonna be REALLY boring for the marine? I mean waiting for like 5 minutes in complete darkness is NOT fun.

maybe we should wait till 1.1 comes out and we can see for ourselves, and <b>then</b> pass judgment
personally the NS team gets a lot less credit for all the hard work they do on NS than they deserve, they have my respect, because they've earned it.
and Flayra has always been anti gore, and I don't think 1.1 is going to change that
[edit] I forgot and S [/edit]
Erm, you're not being serious, are you? Did you lose a fight you were having about the rating of NS, or why did you post this?
You <u>can't</u> be serious..

CAP stands for ChildCare Action Project. The CAP Ministry is a nonprofit, 501©(3) Christian ministry. The webite tells you "the truth about the content of popular entertainment using the Truth [God's word] to decide what to tell you so YOU can make an informed decision on your own whether a flick is fit for your kids or yourselves." CAP is only one ministry, and their views are not necessarily those of other Christians. The site may be moronic, but it only reflects the stupidity and closemindedness of one ministry. Check out the site and have a good laugh.
Note: I am not a Christian.
Sigh...being at home with a 56k modem really sucks. Can't play NS at all. Can't wait for spring break to be over.
