I Just Had A Really Frustrating Experience

<div class="IPBDescription">Onos and charge</div> I was playing a game of classic on ns_caged. It was a longer game, over 30 minutes. The aliens had all 3 hives up, and I was an onos. The marines had a phasegate in shipping tunnels. The commander beaconed and they all rushed through the phase. All the marines were light (with lvl3/lvl3), and as they poured through the hallway I used charge. Instead of absoutely devestating this crowd of 9-10 marines, I am charging in one spot and wounding 1 or 2 of them. All the LMGs ended up killing me, and I didnt get one kill.

Not one.

Bye now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thats just the way charge is. Its the most worthless weapon in the game. You have a better chance of getting a Parasite kill than a Charge kill.

    Pretty much the only thing Charge is good for is getting somewhere quickly, thats it.

    charge is absolutly useless as an attack just liek leap


    the clanners didnt like leap and charge killing people so they complained and got it changed. mostly they complained cause poeple liek me and about 2 others coudl absolutly devistate with leap on their PRO clanner server. this **** them off so they complained to have it changed.

    flay decided to make them both WORTHLESS as attacks and medeocre at mobility enhancers. So now for a third hive game ending weapon, on the most powerfull and most expencive unit, is a crappy skill that makes you run faster. Neat huh?

    LOL, my god what have you been smoking?


    1. Flayra doesn't listen to clanners
    2. Flayra doesn't listen to clanners
    3. No one asked for leap and charge nerfs, clanners have repeatedly asked for buffs, esp. on charge

    Charge is purely skill dependant, and doesn't work well by itself - it's for adding damage to kill marines in 1-2 gores less. Charging without goring the enemy is suicidal, even if marines try to foolishly block you (in which case, they die very quickly to charge damage). And charging 9 marines on your own is beyond suicidal - even 1.04 onos was in danger of getting killed before killing more then a couple of marines in that sort of situation.
    Onos is not an invulnerable tank - it's a mere frontal assault unit. Treat it as such, and it will pay you back with incredible survivability, treat it like a tank and you'll be "rein" in seconds.

    The only way to deal large amounts of damage is to sit on top of a marine and let go of charge. Of course it only works when the marine is afk. If you have adren, you can charge and gore a marine structure this way to kill it in half of the time.

    Charge and leap used to be dependant on your FPS. But now with that bug fixed, it makes charge and leap worthless in terms of damage.. Back in 1.04 it was overpowering, here in 3.0 it's weak. Let's find a happy medium

    charge should do a larger knockback, because simply an alien probably weighing in at one ton that charges at you should knock you around like a bowling pin instead of couple of LA's being able to hold him back....

    Yeah, I really like that knock back Idia. I'd be happy if charge did that and kept its relativly low damage.
