Onos movement

biobrain

<div class="IPBDescription">A tank or a train?</div>I was wondering how the level 5 movement physics going to feel.
Apart from speed/jump/friction changes, will his movement be more like a car from a racing arcade than a lone gordon freeman?
Will he drift to the side when making a rough turn.
Will he gain in speed when charging down the hall. Will he knock marines to the side when they physically encounter them.

I believe I already discussed Onos and I still think it would be a damn good idea for him to be able to charge and knock marines aside. So he will be more like a tank than a person.

He does pick up speed, but when he hit's marines he just kinda runs them over, or so I'm told...

Kinda like if you're hit by a semi, first you flatten, then you slip under it.

it'd also be pretty darn cheap <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

remember, always think about the balance of the game, i mean sure, we'd all like the marines to have akimbo chainguns with automated rocket launchers, but still... that wouldnt be too balanced, it takes out the fun of the game

Exactly how would it be cheap? The alternative is to have them be carried forward or crushed under his bulk.

elitebear

it would be good if you would be able to manually hold down a certain key, but automatically running a marine over without knowing it would be cheap.

(i know i know, thats not what he said, but thats what i meant)

I believe you have to have charge activated.

Dr. Hugo said on IRC that they move both ways. Depends if your walking, running, or charging.

Slycaster

you cannot trample a marine unless you have have charge currently active.  So a walking onos won't just stomp marines unless he actualy uses an attack.

I was just about to post a perfect solution to this dilemma but Cyanide posted it first. :-D

Well done team!

P.S. That's right! No more email address after my name! Look it up in my profile you lazy bums.

In my opinion the Level 5 feels like the tank he is... I missed some of the latest builds because of vactation, but when i left i totally got the feeling of being in a tank...

ZeroPointNRG

Does he feel a bit like the rhino in the Donkey Kong Country series ?

Slycaster

Much bigger.
