Sick Of Onos!

Warped_Devotion · March 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">Grrrr</div> Ok, I am sick with the ONOS. I get sick of joining games where 5 mins into the game, 70% of the alines are ONOS. IMHO there should be 2 ONOS max for aliens, and at least 2-3 HA/JP's for marines. IMO that would balance it out a little more, and hopefully make games last alot longer.

oh, good god. please be joking...

in order to kill things in a game with over 10 players ailens Need more than 2 onoses, or the or things wont be prettylike, the same goes for specal marines.

the game time is good now, you dont want a day long game do you?
for me, 1/2hr games are good, maybe thats an idea for co, seeing thats 5 seconds most of the time.

Combat games are supposed to be short.

If the aliens get lots of onii, then the marines were probably camping.

IBT · March 2004

useley its 15 seconds over here, the ailens, sit on there fat <span style='color:white'>Dodge this.</span> and marines, well, you get my drift.

honorless, and hopefully banned.

I'm mostly speaking for NS maps.

Forgot to mention this, but I was aiming at small people games....like with 4-6 ppl. 2 onos's for 6 ppl, 4 for 8, 5-6 for 10 and 7 for anything higher than that.

BOBDolol · March 2004

Warped_devotion, don't tell me, the aliens had.... every single RT on the map the whole game? Ns isn't just about hives, its also about res control. No res for aliens=no onos. And an onos is USELESS when the aliens have only one hive, and even more so when it doesn't have mcs for celerity. If the whole alien team consists of all the skulks saving up for onos, you should be able to easily take down their RTs since they won't have any higher lifeforms for at least 7 minutes. Unless its a game with less than 12 players that is, the game gets kind of imbalanced since the less people on the alien team, the faster their res flow is.

Blow of steam on Steam, not here.

NS is not designed to be played by 4-6 people. That's one of the reasons Combat was created - as an alternative for smaller groups of people.

MrMojo · March 2004

All onos would mean everyone res****d. Which would mean no one got nodes. Which would make going onos impossible.

If 70% of an alien team is Onos within five minutes, then that marine team sucked worse than Pamela Anderson.

Exactly. They excelled at sucking. Or blowed hard. Or any number of endless sexual references.

Regardless, if the server you play on has consistant games like that, I'd recommend finding a new server.

If u wanted to put limits on stuff marines would have limits on weapons as well as HA and JP. A couple of LA, HMG marines can kill 1 onos easy.

Depending on the size of the game, if most of the aliens save up and go onos the marines should be winning. tbh, ive seen worse. Ive played games where there have been aliens doing nothing, they have like 90-100 res and they still run around as skulk dieing. Well on a small game its hard for marines to win anyway, u can get onos really quick in a small game and chances are ur gonner need ur whole marine team just to kill that one. Then he goes onos again.

To me that is like the major inbalance in NS. With large games its easy for marines to win with small games its easy for aliens to win, most ppl know that. They could alter the resource system so that the game is relativly fair for both sides in large, medium and small games.

"Your opinion is wrong."

-Me

That would be like saying, "Okay, HAs with GLs are waaay to powerful. Two per game, only."

You can't just decide to restrict the most powerful weapon on one side. And its not like their cheap; 75 res doesn't come quickly.

DarkDude · March 2004

Flamethrowers ready? Ok... fire!

No, no, no, no, no, no, and no. Did I mention NO? The aliens are weak enough as it is and they don't NOT need another nerf. On top of that, the onos are ESSENTIAL to the victory of any good alien team in Combat and NS, and aliens will need more than 2.

Delphi · March 2004

I remember this one time, we were playing kestrel with the Superadmin on. He turned on cheats, I mashed on a "givexp" hotkey, and we all went onos and devoured the entire marine team while charging their CC to death.

Gawd, that was fun. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

No....

He said he was talking about small games. Everyone can cap a node, and then still go onos in under 5 minutes because with a res node per person or more, they can easily do whatever they want. Marines on the other hand, have the same resflow in large or small games.

Basically the only way for marines to win small games like that is to either A. drop res towers or command chairs on the nodes near the aliens hive at the beginning to slow them down considerably, or B. send marines out with shotguns to do nothing but hunt alien nodes. Basically, the aliens have to suck, or have less nodes than they have people for the marines to win.

<span style='color:white'>Be nice.</span>

And indeed. 5 minute onos are STUPID.
If they die, and they will, kharaa have no hives, no high lifeforms and probably no RTs. It takes a very bad comm to lose after killing a 5 min onos.

2 days ago we had such a bad comm. >_<

Petco · March 2004

5 min onoses? well i guess that might be easy to kill the onos since their might not even be any upgrade chambers or anything. And i seen 3 light armor marine with lvl 1 upgrades for weapon and armor killed an onos.

Eggs · March 2004

Well, that's fine.
