the first time I saw an onos was seeing the big horn of a view model in 1.00 as I went thru the airlock to rape marine start in bast with gore, paralise, charge, and primal scream ^_^

my first encounter with an onos was when I was a skulks and I thought I could run threw the dang things legs but I couldn't then some marines came and killed it cuz it got stuck by me. . .so my first encounter wasn't a very good one. . but ya know what can ya do

Omegaman · June 2004

While I was downloading NS, I was reading the forums about NS battle stories, adn got me all thinking, "Wow, I wonder what the Onos looks like!"

Well, I had playing quite alot of games enough to be familiar witht he gameplay as a Marine, and I was aggravated that we were owning the Kharraa every time, adn I was never spotting and Onos. Boy did I get my wish...Next round I ended up meeting two , adn I was like, "Holy Crap!", and as I helplessly shot at them with my LMG, I was pwned by a Skulk from behind...

ApolloGX · June 2004

i dont remember.....

started playing in the december after it got released, then quit...and picked up back in 1.04 and figured out how the game worked, then the week 2.0 was released i met a cal-i ns player at a lan and now i play competitvely

how can you remember the first time you saw an onos?

only thing i remember, which is hilarious now, being a skulk and saying to yourself "omg i cant bite anyone, ima be a marine so i can get more kills", then going marine the next game and saying "omg now i cant shoot skulks and all i do is get bitten"

good stuff

DuoTheGodOfDeath · June 2004

Was knifing the Generator hive on Caged. The next thing I see is the Onos head just barley pop into the sides of the hive gave me a heart attack, I even jumped. I continued to knife it because he couldn't get in or so I thought. Then he jumped in and I was like OMG NOOOO then he gored me.

Petco · June 2004

My first encounter with an onos was in ns_nothing 1.0 something. Well I joined late but at that time aliens had all 3 hives. Then like 6 onoses come to marine start and boom killed us all. Well thats my first encounter. I heard that some guy's first encounters with an onos wasn't really like much of anything surprising. It was 3.0 beta 3 and like the 2nd day he is playing hes like lets chase the onos in voice com and I guess to him onoses was just another fat gorge.

Recoup · June 2004

I screamed loud, and then ran... ran fast...

Maveric · June 2004

First time I saw a onos i was like, "Oh yeah?" while firing my level 3 HMG... or was it a shotgun? Either way, i was soon impaled by the horn.

But here's something funny; the first time my brother was playing NS a fade blinked right infront of him and he nearly shat himself! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> When he saw a onos he DID shat himself! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Jean_Luc_Picard · June 2004

Lol, my first encounter with an onos?

I was an HA/HMG/Welder in a squad of 6, 2 HA/HMG/Welders, 3 HA/Shotty/Welders, and one HA/GL/Welder...

We were pwning all the skulks, gorges, and lerks they could throw at us... then 2 fades came by and got the GL (I nearly shat my pants when they like, FLEW APOCOLYPTIC STYLE at me! I loosed a clip from my HMG with my eyes closed and managed a kill without taking damage)

Well, 1 guy down, 2 badly hurt... is start welding... next thign I know, a giant ... RHINO like thing comes barreling down on us screaming to bloody |-|ell<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'></span>

Well, everyone opens fire, me with my welder still out (DOH)... and I get the kill, which makes me think that that beast is easy to kill (I just welded an onos to death... I had forgoten 4 other ppl were shooting HMG/Shottys at it!)

Well, next round I saw 2 coming at me, so I whipped out my GL, popped 4 off... and promptly fell off my chair as the damned things gored me to kingdom come! I met another one later on as a JP/Shotty when I roudned a corner and LANDED on the damn thing! I died a moment later (after I got back up OFF the floor) as the thing looked at me and BAM!

AveSatanas · June 2004

Well my first onos encounter was in a 1.04 match. So far I only seen everything but fades and onos. I was new to the game so of course I didn't know much, so the comm told everyone to come back to base. The comm dropped the usual ha/hmg/gl/shotty/welder, so of course I picked up the stuff and was about to go rambo , hey i was a nub at that time. So we are marching to their hives, which I didn't know what hives were at that time.

Skulks and lerks were attacking us, and spores harmed ha in 1.04 so yea... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />. Well our squad are killing aliens left and right, out of the corner of my eyes, i see a rhino-like alien but i can only see about 1/4 of it. Few seconds later, the onos did paralye and gored me and i died <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />, but right after i died, the squad killed the onos <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Talesin · June 2004

First experience would have been 1.0 on Eclipse, when we finally managed to get three Hives up and somebody yelled 'All right! Onos time!' Before I knew what was happening, I saw a huge wall of meat running down the corridor and could only get out of the way. Even though I was a Skulk, it scared the hell out of me. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

lol, I've got a similer story.

On eclipse in 1.0, I was the marines, we were holding out desperatly vs many fades with their damned acid rockets. Then, through the right door, two onos just charged in, damn I almost **** my pance.

Yes, <i>pance.</i>

Recoup · June 2004

All I can say is that it was quite a shock when I saw the Onos...

Paranoia2MB · June 2004

I think the first time I saw an onos was w/in the first couple of days playing the very first ns release. I was like wth, now-a-days, they aren't worth crap and you kill them easily. lol

Thansal · June 2004

prsearle · June 2004

First time I saw an Onos was in my first game ever. I joined a server that happened to be running over some guy's cable modem. Combined with a massive turret farm and the 1.0 server performance, our pings were shooting through the roof. Anyway, the game had been running for some time and marines were boxed into marine spawn (ns_eclipse) so things were pretty crowded. The comm asked if anyone else wanted a go in the seat, so I volunteered.

The first thing we needed was res, so I recycled our siege turret (prompting cries of "What are you doing? That's our biggest gun!" "But it only fires on buildings." "Oh."), and started placing more turrets. Suddenly, an Onos burst through the doors and the server hit a lag spike. Next thing I know, the Onos is gone leaving several dead marines behind him. As they respawned, there were complaints about lag - and then, the Onos reappeared screaming into the voicecom "I AM THE LAG MONSTER!!!". And then the server gave up and dropped me. Fun times...

DarkDude · June 2004

My first meeting with an Onos wasn't very pretty, but we've had a love/hate relationship since then.

I had just joined an NS game for the first time, the day after 2.0 came out. The first thing that hit me was the chaos. Marines were dying left and right, green clouds everywhere, and ominous footsteps echoing outside the door. So the first thing I ever typed in an NS game was "Is it like this all match?" I got a prompt "SUYF nubcaeks!". (my name was still NSPlayer) I died, spawned again and ran out the door as quickly as I could. For a little while, I thought I had made it and was about to ask what I was suppose to do now, then all of a sudden this huge blob showed up right in front of my face. Needless to say, I screamed, but the worst part was the devour, my first ever. I jumped up out of my chair and yelled "SH*T!" when he devoured me, almost fell over. It may not be the good old 1.04 days, but 2.0 was a damn good version. *sigh*

CrazySailor · June 2004

mine wasn't nice. i was walking w/ a pack of 4 LMG&LA marines. i was scouting, they were supporting me. i pop around the corner, see this huge horn thing, and the next thing i know, i'm in its stomach.

Delarosa · June 2004

i have cleared my memorie banks since then... i have put in it's place... .... ...

or so maybe just cleared them... but still, over 2 years ago

Jabba_The_Hunt · June 2004

Onos never scared me, its skulks that scare me.

BigMadSteve · June 2004

I'm telling the whole truth when I say the first time I saw an onos was when I evolved into one. All talk was on on this server. I was gestating then suddenly my view is 3 meters higher. Everyone on my team was looking at me. "Whoa look at him!" I felt like a god <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> Then I walked into rine spawn and I could hear them scream on the voice comms "HOLY ****! RUN!!" "SHOOT IT!" "WE'RE DEAD!" Then I felt like an evil god <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

MrChainsaw · June 2004

I never saw my first Onos. My team wasn't doing too well, and then all of a sudden, I spawn, and I instantly see this "Digesting" screen.

For a while, I thought all marine losses ended with that screen. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

Chods · June 2004

1.0x, ns_caged and i was building an rt in upper sewer when 2 oni came at me. i had a hmg and i just let loose, but i didnt last very long. my first gorge experience was funnier since i kept building rt's on myself

DC_Darkling · June 2004

I can't even remember. But given the fact that it was back in 1.04 where the onos was worth its res I probably died while emptying my LMG. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

R_A_C · June 2004

I don't remember, but it was back in 1.0x days when even 1 mediocre onos meant endgame. so I quickly met death. All the time after that,as soon as I saw an onos in base I almost always F4ed immediately like a wuss.

Diablus · June 2004

I still run when i see a onos while im by myself ^^,

I'm not alone!

The first time I saw an Onos, I was dead before I figured out that the thing wasn't a hive. I was in Bast, looking out one of the doors around the endless pit area, so all I saw was the side of this monstrosity.

As a side note, running and yelling on voice comm about a moving building usually makes you the resident newbie of the server for a few rounds. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

dumbnewb · June 2004

Tekdude · June 2004

Mine was back in 1.00 I think. I played NS at a LAN my first time, but didn't see any Onos, then I decided to play online, because it was fun. It was ns_tanith. I remember running out into that hall towards satcom, and I saw these things. I said on voice comm "Oh my god, what are those rhyno things? They're coming!" Then we lost.
