<div class="IPBDescription">Re: Oni defending hives</div> I don't know if anyone has had the "pleasure" of trying to defend the waste handleing hive on ns_tanith against a large group of heavies coming from the left side of the hive (the passageway that leads back to cargo/reactor room). Essentially you have to be using at least one onos against them because fades will die before they even reach the HAs, lerk'd damage isn't really worthwhile, and skulks, well skulks can do whatever <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> When using your onos though you quickly discover one fact about getting out of said hive. You have to crouch, then advance down a fairly long corridor.
Quite simply, this means death. I actually couldn't get out of waste handling through that exit; I redeemed back to the hive before I even finished crouching. Concentrated lvl 3 weapons take down oni so **** fast that they honestly stand little chance of reaching the marines, yet this is exacerbated of having to slow to half speed just to leave the hive and then having to move down a corridor. I seriously think that a few maps might require some tweaking (granted this problem hasn't materalised often, I simply point out the instance that has occured the most) simply to allow aliens to take down HA squads near their hives.
