Marines = Food?

In the trailer, there's a short clip of a red screen and it says `Beeing digested´, does that mean that the aliens can eat the marines?
And if so, to what use is it, do aliens get helath or res?
Just curious..

Ezekiel

see that search button there *points*

right now click on that, and search for devour and onos.

It is the onos' new ability, devour, that allows it to eat a marine. The marine health will slowly decrease as it is being digested, so if the onos is killed before the marine, the marine will survive. The onos gains back health as it digests the helpless marine and when he finally dies, the alien will get res for the kill. The main advantage of this attack is, that the respawn of the marine is delayed a short while, which gives the aliens one less gun to worry about.

He was pointing out a feature of these boards, which might have saved you some time. Chill out.

IF we REALLY wanted to go for realism...skulks should be able to eat dead marines ^-^ for health...But that is not going to happen in a game like NS without it turning into an 18 cert game :E

They will be so confused <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
