Marines riding tanks. Skulks riding onos.

Thought it might be interesting, if marines could ride their tanks and skulks could ride onos. Running/jumping/leaping would give higher speed.

    +1, although not high in priority. it'd be nice if skulks and lerks would treat the onos as if it were moving terrain, being able to hang on the sides too. it'd be quite risky though, especially against grenades, so i guess its only worth it for skulks as lerks are fast enough anyway.

    why?

    marines move faster then ARCS and the most effective skulk are the ones that use hiding spots.

    No lerks carrying gorges? For shame!

    as for me, i am serious. and i know some other players already brabbled stuff about riding the arcs so i think some people might like this. it is not out of place / unrealistic either.
    granted, it's not really useful in terms of gameplay. but having things just for fun is not always a bad thing: think of taunts or the ready room.
    in the end, having fun is what gaming is all about, isn't it?

    I like this idea, even though it shouldnt be high priority.
    I would like to see the skulks being able to crawl on the onos, and even jump on him to gain speed, like a moving wall.

    Ever since they did the videocast of the mobile siege cannon, I wanted to ride on top of it.

    Player pushing collision needs to be in the game, sort of like in the halo game engines. As you could ride on top of vehicles, stand on moving players, and be pushed around by bigger objects(think onos)
