<div class="IPBDescription">You Must Love It A Little</div> Through experience of playing as an Onos and against Onos I found this to be effective, no joke. Jumping and Crouching ( At the same time ) and unloading your clip ( Whether it be a LMG, HMG, GL, Pistol ) somehow keeps you alive longer than normal ( Ex: You just backpedaling and firing ). I've tried this out on several occasions and it seems that there is greater chance of the Onos missing you when they "Bite" or "Charge". Try it out, Jumping+Crouching+Firing = Less chance of you getting owned by an Onos, and a Better chance of you killing one.

Crouch + Knife. Yes I got lucky they didn't charge, but it was the most effective and we all laughed about that one.
Did that today.. wrecked a turret factory and waited, cloaked and silenced, for some poor schmuck to come build a new one.
Sure enough the turret factory appears, the marine comes in, walks right past me and goes to work. I solid snake my way up...
*chuckle*
It was funny watching him start to turn then *SPLAT*
On a sidenote would the commander have seen me when I decloaked? The marine wasn't looking but I was in proximity.. and I can imagine the look on his face if he did see <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
It's astonishing how effective it is knifing those things ni the gizzards when you're already <i>in</i> their gizzards.
I don't think I'll ever get the stains off the com seat upholstery...
What exactly did you do? I always get my **obscenity** ran over or a horn up my butt when fighting onos.
you play with some blind marines, eh?

Sorry to burn the sarcasm - but if it's anywhere inside "extreme" range, you're probably wrong. A charging Onos will close a short gap like nothing and smear your lightly armoured butt all over the floor. An HMG will sting, but it's bearable.
Jetpacks on the other hand, are a nuisance. A Marine perched where I can't hit him is going to get me out of the area pronto. Ditto for GLs. Onos' don't like eating pineapples.
And god help you if he's got Regeneration. I messed up an entire Marine team of six in their base - solo. Turrets crumple like cheap kindling under a Charge, and all I need to do is plow my way to the factory and shut it down.

Funny posts overall.
Anyway, welder kills Kharaa structures a hell lot faster than the knife will.
But the best tactic by far for those pesky mini-bases, have cloak, run in(as an onos) in the middle, turrets blazing.. stand still, turrets lose sight.. then simply attack whenever regen is completed, and repeat procedure until base is dead. And during this regen period, any unwelcome marine have a hard time spotting u, unless its a smart commander with scan =/
RAWR!
it's really difficult to kill with redemption, almost impossible <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
but firing all your ammo on an onos with redemption can save your life <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
(i think cloak leavs a faint glow of the creature and with onos soo big, i cant see how they are missied)
I was a heavy armour and HMG so I started blasting away at it and it ran after me...
on another note i find that onos miss you alot if you run off to the side of them...
P.S This was on my first go.
onos? u use jetpack.. simple as that.. he charges u fly <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> land.. shoot <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
i find onos is a hassle... if the aliens ahve sentrys... then u hafta spawn past them... cuz onos cant get thru.....

Well I assumed marines travel in groups.
To go into non-sarcastic mode
*beep*
3 LMGS can kill an ono
4 LMGS can EASILY kill an ono
If your alone as a marine- I quite frankly think you DESERVE to die- unless your doing some scouting, or wielding a vent- ETC.
ITs hard to find a good team in random games, but occasionally you do...
The whole idea everyone needs HMG and HEAVY armor take down ANYTHING other than a sulk or gorge is wrong.
1 LMG WONT take down an ono - unless hes AFK <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> or you gotta jetpack
Two LMGS- I say the same Unless your extremely LUCKY and a NS TActic GOD or jetpack
Three, YOU CAN Take one down- Just use tactics, dont need luck or jetpack
Four LMGS, you just gotta have some tactics.
I mean just DONT stand all in 1 corner- spread out to 4 corners and fire jump around- he can only attack 1 at a time
adn if you gotta jetpack and you die to an ono- well maybe it was lag...
if there are two jetpackers and you BOTH die to an ono - just drop your marine pants when you repsawn and kiss ur **obscenity** goodbye - cause you aint worth your weight in.... shell casings?

I disagree. If you're alone as a Marine, you deserve to die. Period. No "unless". If you're "scouting" that usually means light armour. Can anyone tell me what a light armoured Marine is? Little Johnny, in the back. That's right - <b>Skulk food</b>. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Excellent tactics. (lol @ the AFK Onos-killing. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) Jetpacked Marines are the bane of the Oh-Nos. In a small corridor though, it's better to turn and run, screaming all the way. Four Marines would <b>each</b> have to score 20 hits with the LMG to kill a Carapaced Onos to kill it - and that's before it charges and mauls them.
