The "official" Counter To Onos

<div class="IPBDescription">Or so was stated</div> I remember when we were all anticipating 2.0 it was said that jetpacks would become the "official" counter to the Onos. I supposed I believed this because paralyse was being removed from the Onos. However now that 2.0 is here, I see that Jetpacks are near worthless against them, if you manage to get into the air before being stomped, you can't get enough elevation to avoid being gored, or go far enough because the celings are so wonderfully complex.

Or you would just get devoured but those rants can go in one of several other posts.

    Fly into the rafters and perch there. Onos is now powerless to hurt you in any way. Shoot at your leisure.

    I said this again and again even BEFORE the game was released. Nobody listened :/

    Jetpacks as a counter to onos have never been viable. HA trains with a smart commander/tactics is a far better idea.

    Shotguns work really well too.

    I get nabbed while sitting on rafters in halls 2x as high as a marine by jumping oni and devour.

    Actually, they are. Just people are still trying to use them as if they were v1.04 JPs. And failing miserably, having depended on the fps link which is now gone.

    Give it more than 48 hours of playing so that people have a chance to adapt to the changes, before posting complaints please.
