Was it 1 or 2 edits to get to a half way descent flame?
My post was actually a lot more harsh before I edited it.
Just being honest.. it's all well and good to solo an onos that is 100x more worse than you and missing like every gore.. On the other hand it's much more entertaining to see one marine a juke an onos of EQUAL skill and then kill him without any medpacks or jetpacks.. (doable by using props/terrain in a room - albeit rare)
... can you even kill an onos without at least one ammo pack? any onos that does to a single marine is almost by definition less skilled. by the third clip of not killing the marine, running away should be the overriding impulse... and marines can't chase that well.
I can link a video clip of me juking an NSL player's onos on system waypointing railings without taking damage and bringing him to 2% before he escaped with a single shotgun at weapons 1. Weapons 2 or 3 and he would've died. Finding ways to survive in even the most impossible situations is what is entertaining imo.
@IronHorse@GISP, people are abusing flag button again... (CyberKun)
Why do I have to keep calling admins because of this?
If the flag function is supposed to be the report, it should be made clearer. It looks like the disagree/agree/awesome, with it it even showing the number of flags one get.
Its been said time and time again that most new people don't know the in-and-outs of the game. The "better" way of doing things. This shows "better" (maybe not best) type of movement that could be done doing a fight to help stay alive (I hear time and time again from people that can't kill skulks while in-game). Seemingly it shows, that you need to shoot them in the nose or butt in order to have good aim (Thx Locklear!) If you watch the movement & attacks of the Onos, you'd see that all he/she did wrong was to not turn with his mouse right before the attack. I kept going to the side of him/her and they didn't react in turn. So for those who have a hard time killing as an Onos, keep that one in mind.
In short, you know how to sidestep. Pro stuff, I'm sure it has never been used before in higher level play and therefor is impossible to counter.
Sidestepping an onos works great when the onos only lands 2 hits per minute.
This thread seems more about 'look how awful this new player is' than anything else.
So while having made it clear I was talking about/to newer players, you somehow took it and applied it to "higher level" play. Either you don't understand English too well or you're posting just to hop on a wagon.
If you're trying to encourage new players that marines can win.. this was not a very good example. This was pure luck that you came across a first time player and happened to be streaming.
Rather than gloat about fragging a noob Onos player.. spend some time commanding new players or working with them as a marine/skulk and calling engagements.. etc. Teaching them the ins and outs.
Much more productive than pride posting a frag that isn't entertaining or informative on how to play NS2.
You assume based off of 1:23 of video that I do none of those things. That I'm somehow proud (despite the fact I have already commented on that).
Twitch only keeps videos for 2 weeks (and I took time off) or you'd be able to see that while on stream (and off) that I do indeed teach newbies and noobs alike. Both to the veiwers and those in-game.
Perhaps the fact that I have a server that is just for newer players, in which I only spec and teach, or comm and teach "might" have given you a clue to that. But no, people see one thing and believe that's all there is to that topic.
By posting the video, you're gloating. You might as well have said, "Hey! I killed an onos...by myself! He was a rookie but still." Congrats man. You're awesome.

you mean flags aren't a good thing!?!?? it doesn't mean super awesome exclamation point post, everybody should take note of this well thought of cogent poet?
I saw the server in your signature. That's great that you do all that.
But I still don't see what you expected in terms of responses to this.
It comes off to people.. no matter what you try to disguise it as.. as a frag video. And frag videos are almost always a display of a great feat or skilled play. Which leads to the next point.. you were looking for some sort of "wow you're so amazing" type posts. If you weren't.. then what was the point?
What did you really expect most of the regular posters here to think of this?
I've found Access Alpha in Eclipse is a nice place to try and 1v1 onoses. Hop down the side and then back up when they come after you. Haven't gotten one so far because I'm a big nub and keep on hopping back up prematurely (and usually people know better and just run away), but I've come close!

@CyberKun You know its purpose. And he is right you know, use the disagree option for stuff you disagree whit. You are well aware of the differences of spaming, abusive behavior and an disagreement.

So the title of your thread and your OP are not clear. At all.
Please edit them so your point becomes obvious...
Why do these forums have so many negative/bad posts? People need to be kinder and more respectful on these forums.
while generally I agree, I don't in this case. the OP was, to many it appears, posting a bragging retort using as his evidence a video of him essentially beating the tar out of a "baby". this deserves ridicule, and it was provided.

Weapons 2 or 3 and he would have escaped sooner

Besides, you reloaded your pistol. #-o

Such a headache

Some of you seriously need to get the White Knight stick out your ass...
Priceless.
But really. This thread serves no purpose and is turning into a mud flinging contest. Close it pl0x.
Whole team was in the base.

yes, and if people really start to complain, we can always must claim that it was all an elaborate joke...
