Would This Be Considered A Map Exploit?

<div class="IPBDescription">co_angst</div> In co_angst, I tried being a onos, but the marines where exploiting (In my opinion). In the picture, they sat in the middle of the object and shot me (the onos), and I could not attack them at all. Would this be considered as an exploit?

[Admin nuke this if it is considered a spoiler or something] If you have trouble with onos eating you all the time, simply duck as they charge toward you. Because the onos' POV is like 10 feet high, and devour must hit in the center of the screen (where the crosshairs would be for a gun) you ducking forces the onos to look down nearly vertically to eat you because your hitboxes get so far down below his POV. The looking down technieque is really difficuly to master while charging full speed, so by ducking you effectively trade off your vulnerability to onos, for increased vunerability to skulks (probably a preferable trade when an onos is quickly bearing down on you)
I love onos in combat though, I usually just rush out at start, get lvl 3-4 worth of assist xp, bite off a few heads and onos at lvl6. Devour is just too good imho, you eat HA, hide 6 secs, eat another, and watch your xp rise fast!
Another tip for onos people, dont get stomp/charge, its not worth the points, Id much rather get another upgrade and stomp only lasts 1 sec.. my favourite onos would be: Regen, Cara, Focus and Celerity, eat and run <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->, and bash while you run
Sheesh.
on an unrelated note, anyone else knowtice that an onos near a hive is nearly invincible now in 3.0?
Well they aren't explointing anything are they? If the maker wouldn't want this he wouldn't have made it.
Perhaps because it is a strategic chokepoint which multiple marines can use at a time.
This is soo unfair!!! Pleas remove those pillars cause i cant stand them anymore. Every game the marines just camp inside them and own the aliens cause pillarcamping is soo overpowered allowing them to XP **** till lvl 10 and then jp rush the hive and i cant devour them in there. They always own us poor aliens this way.
[/sarcasm]
Oh wait, they dont. I see a marine in there maybe 1 out of 10 games and usually its a newbie cause the first time a skulk owns you cause you cant move in there you will never enter that deathtrap again. And if those pillars are such a huge problem for you then just take the other way to the marine base. Oh wait theres an elevator just outside the marine spawn so:
[sarcasm] <- Just to be sure to not get misunderstood
Devs fix the elevators!!! The marines always camp up there and i can´t devour them from below with my onos !1!one!111! This is sooooo unfair!! Marines always win because i cant eat the evil elevatorcampers of doooom
[/sarcasm]
The hive now heals a player 6% of their total health/tick. This is 4.2hp for a skulk, 9 for a gorge, 7.5 for a lerk, 18 for a fade, and 42 for an onos. It is great for onos but really bad for lower lifeforms.
