also I noticed that the eyes of the onos is quite a bit over the actual model size, lets face it, when you're an onos it may feel like your banging your head in the roof but really there's lots of space, I think the onos model should be just a little taller.
Except for that fact... they're scary as hell!
And if you don't find them scary well... try knifing one <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Or the devs could try to input some really scary sounds that the onos creates ocassionally, or like very often if it's being shot at or something, that should add some more fear factor to it.
*nods*
1 onos = crap
2 onos = double crap
3 onos = bend over marines

No, they are damn scary when you're just a LMG guy, no back up, skulks jumping you from the roof then suddenly a huge angry looking cow comees along and impales you to the wall <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
A. I speak of the present, not the future.
B. I'm not a turret boy: I play both sides of the game. And win, too.
C. There is no spoon.

Tell it sister.....
I can tell you i certainly changed pants when i was waiting for some armour, saw the turrets firing, turned around, and saw 5 ####### mamoths running around throwing people all over the place.
Shooting clip after clip hand gun after hand gun.
I dont know how the rest of you feel, but this is a really really good game.

omg its a turret boy getting pwned
The Onos is very powerful especially combined with other Kharaa Players, because the Onos's Primal Scream can boost your teamate's energy regaining level which is bad for the Marine's when lots of other Onos's, Fade's, and Lerk's are attacking.
Take Adrenaline, that will help you a lot. Having a lot of energy means you can charge longer which is very good because charge does a lot of damage.
Bite is an excellent turret and Marine attack because it does high damage and you can use it quickly and quite effeciently.
Paralize, the best ability in the game I suspect. Paralize is superb while being combined with charge and bite, you can practically turn those pesky Marines in to pulp.
So as you can see the Onos is not just a, "bull". It is much more stronger and fearful to be <i>just</i> a bull.
A Fade?! What are you talking about?! The Fade is good but not <i> that </i> good. It is by far useless compared to a skillful Kharaa player using a enormous Onos beast.
For the Newbie's the Onos is useless because you think you are <b> INVINCIBLE</b> being one, truth it is though that you probably aren't good because you are either not using your wonderful upgrades or you don't like this poerful beast because it has no long range attacks. Who needs long range attacks when you can paralize the marine across the room and charge at him and turn him into mushed pudding.
For those who said that the Onos was the worst Kharaa Alien or who said the Fade was much more powerful and better: Take note that playing against me as an Onos is a very bad, bad thing. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
One time I had a onos (5 more marines than aliens as usual) I had lvl 3 redemption lvl 3 adrenalin and lvl 3 cloaking I would rush into their base destroy 5 sentries and a couple of marines then get redeemed back to the hive and regenerate in no time (thank god defensive chambers) then attack again and again and again, then we won. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
A different time I was an onos all I had to do was primal scream then charge after the marines and they would turn tail and run. They were HA marines too.
My funniest experience with an onos ever was once I had lvl3 regeneration, lvl3 cloaking and I think it was adrenaline. A couple of HA marines with HMGs were harassing the hive I was at, so I decided to take care of it, I went in there paralyzed one of them killed him, killed 2 more and ran back to the hive for regeneration. Then I went back and destroyed all of the sentries and was going for the last marine when he went to crawl under a pipe, I went after him killed him and got stuck in the PIPE! So I just sat there completely cloaked(luckly the pipe was close to the only walkway to my hive), so here come the marines oblivious to the fact that they were gunna die, I just came uncloaked and killed them. I killed 5 marines that way and finally they saw me and used a grenade launcher to kill me. That was the funnest time I was an onos.
The Onos is even best for Defense, Stealth, and Assualt!
Nice choice of those upgrades Conan! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
