Onos Rush!

<div class="IPBDescription">For those really dumb marines...</div> Okay, I sort of came up with this myself and a friendly server regular. We were up against some really dumb marines and I went gorge.

<b>Strat:</b> Onos Rush
<b>Requirement:</b> Dumb marines
<b>Objective:</b> Get Onos as fast as possible, and laugh at them when they say "OMG Onos already!?"

It works as simple as this. Cap every single RT you come upon. Don't even worry about it living or anything. When you have put up 4 or more, save for the 2nd hive and drop it. Then waddle over to the next hive and save: drop it. If you did it right the second hive should be halfway done and the third just starting. Now from here you save for 100 res before the second hive finishes so that you receive an enormous amount of overflow. When the third is up, go Onos. Depending on the # of players and if you overflow yourself, your other teammates can go Onos soon after you.

There you go! Pwnos rush!

NOTE: The onos can show up as soon as a marine team gets JPs on a single RT. Sometimes when you onos rush the marines actually get JPs, but nothing a lil paralyze can solve that!

NOTE2: To tell if you have some pretty crappy marines, check who is killing who. If your team of skulks is owning the marines and generally keeping them in then you can safely assume you can pull it off.

NOTE3: This is really fun to do!

    after a quick read, my conclusions:

    1. the term "dumb marines" would be an understatement. Make it into demented senile grandpa's
    2. very fragile hives
    3. I'll try it sometimes <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    isn't this just the basic gameply anyway? Get all the res nodes before they do, get teched up and rush?

    In general, getting 3 hives and going onos can't be considered a "rush" imo...

    Easy, the marines need only a newbie comm. Won two games in a row with three hives yesterday. Or was it three games... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> The same comm every time. When I went to the marines the comm did exactly the same thing as before, and we lost because we were onosrushed. Oh, the tf was two meters south from the spot it was before.

    I was in a game last night where we onos rushed. The marine team was absolutely incompetent, so we kept them contained in their start (it was nancy, so just one exit for them). Everyone stayed skulk until the third hive went up. Most of us got cloaking and stood outside their base, chuckling madly. When we got 70 res, we all evolved to onos right outside their base as some marines passed us, not noticing the cloaked eggs.

    Oh yeah, that was a fun game...

    I dunno...I think it'd be boring everytime if you just owned them with sensory first and they couldn't even get out of base. I'd even up the teams. This is not Marine Hunt 2003 ™ and even if it is, it's boring to only hunt them at their doorway.

    But killing a team that badly is really fun sometimes. You can screw around and still win. Like dropping sensory first. I had an **** gorge who did that just to **** us off on nancy, then he left, so I took over. 3 hives later, Onos was great.

    The sensory first is great for harrasing the marines like crazy.

    Unless they have a good comm with motion tracking.

    but these didn't, lol.

    looks like #1 NS pub server strategy... the teamstack

    I see enough games predetermined in the ready room. Please don't encourage people to teamstack.

    Just get level 3 carapace and rush the base and be done with it, drawing the game out like that so you can get a few cheap kills as pwnos is about as lame as a marine team locking the two hives down, taking 30 minutes to get the entire team in HA/GL/HMG/Welder. Then going to the last hive and sieging it with 21 siege cannons for one shot hive kill.

    Guys guys, thanks for all the feedback <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> but this is a rush. Don't be thinking it's "don't kill them and lets go Onos." I'm talking getting an Onos out ASAP by taking advantage of the res system (overflow).

    Don't mistake this for a legit winning strategy. It's something fresh to do on a pub if you're tired of the monotony. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    EDIT: If the skulks were able to end the game they would. Often that's what happens everytime I decide the conditions are right for this. Boooo! But anyway, when you go Onos your teammates might spaz out that you were selfish and bought yourself a Onos. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
