<div class="IPBDescription">Onos looks too robotic???</div>Hey everyone, very keen on the NS2. Once released on steam i will be buying 2 copies, one for me and my gf. I have a bit of input, not bagging or anything but in the new teaser does anyone think the Onos is too robotic looking? I hope that the remaining other alien types are not like that. If anyone takes a look at the concept art located in the gallary and look at the lower bottom pictures and see the Onos, notice it looks more alien like. Simmiliar to something like in aliens the movie. Does anyone get my drift? Only my input but good work guys looking foward to seeing how things go.

lmao what the? What do you mean. clear english my friend <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Since it used to get owned to smithereens by a bunch of marines with HMGs, the onos has "evolved" armour plating on the front so it gets less damage when charging (and it can also bust through doors). You can kinda see this in the way that there is ivory (or plating, whatever it's called) growing over the existing horn.
And.. well.. it is not a dinosaur, it is not an animal from earth or anything. Looks pretty damn good to me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
And if you took a close look to the video and saw the skulk, it is not like that. It looks like the original one =D
So long as they're actually something to fear in NS2, unlike their current status in NS1, I think the new look fits the creature's role very well. Plus, how badass could it be if an Onos could bash down a welded door like that?
That Onos it's amazing, keep the good work!
They don't look organic at all, way too square.

and in case that a big amount of old school NS gamers will not like the new onos when the game is released,
someone will anyway come up with the idea to make his own NS1-ish looking onos model
replacement.
uwe wants ns2 to be one of the most modded games, and if replacements / ideas / additions appear which
are better than the original they might will go in to the original game, like it happened in NS1. (which is actually
a very good strategy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> )
I love the new looks in any case!
Yeah, to me it looks like 2 large slabs of metal have been welded onto it's legs <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
I see you guys talking about organic stuff, but the onos came from somewhere else in the galaxy.
I agree it would be nice to se it as a only organic terran animal... but it is not terran. As a design option, it can ofcourse look like something from erath, but nothing dictates its looks since the almighy onos came from ... dont remember <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Kharaa are by definition a Terran experiment gone wrong? I believe they were bacteria that some scientists were fiffeling about with and they started evolving at uncontrollable rates? I may be wrong though!
I thought the official storyline states, that the people from earth have been building colonies across the galaxy and some day they came across some alien life forms and were attacked.
A massive head in front in order to knock down doors and a short horn to accentuate even more the robust aspect of the head, multiple horns and eyes to give a stranger and more "creature" look and blunt teeth to be able to crunch all the catch.

Also it could have a "flexible" mouth, to make more believable that it swallows a complete HA, something like this:

Wow, I gotta say, I really like your designs a lot more <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />. Tbh, I think the onos looks WAY too boxy, which does not look natural. Nature has a lot more curves with creatures.
I'm guessing that is an onos with a carapce upgrade, and it rly fits to the teaser so that ppl get the idea that the marine has a 0% chance of surviving fighting against it =).
and no rinos or dinosaurs PLZ!!!!
I remember seeing some image of a statpoint-slider brainstorm. If that has any validity, that could cause a difference in outward appearance.
