It all depends on the circumstances, if a marine is higher up, he could win, dense terrain, there isn't a clear solution, its all about location, player etc
Hmm.... Well, there's a couple more options the Marine could do.
1) Duck on the ground and kiss his arse goodbye. 2) Drop every weapon he has in a hope it will speed him up as he turns tail. 3) Die. 4) Commit <b><i>seppuku</i></b> to help save honor. Oh wait, wrong mod.
If you're going to cross mods like that it would be much cooler if he rolled to the side, double jumped off the wall over and behind the Onos. Then use DE .357s and Force to bring the Onos down to 1 HP, only to finish him off with a Death from above-Insult-Tackle kill. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

If so, what happens? Do you fall through to the ground, do you slide off the side, CAN YOU RIDE THE ONOS?! CAN YOU FEEL THE POWER BETWEEN YOUR LEGS?! muhahahah!.... sorry, getting carried away.
Even if that meant definate death, I would do it. *thoughts of Starship Troopers when he jumps on the big beatle thing shoots a hole in it's back and throws in the grenade*
I think you can do whatever to it that you can on a standard HL model. So I believe that you can stand on it except if it moves, you won't move with it.
I got a question, when a marine gets hit head on by a Onos. Does the animation just show him dropping dead or does he go flying across the room? I was think the Onos charge can kill players if hit dead on.
There are stories from the front lines about people getting knocked across the room by an onos, but RC8 update says that players no longer get knocked back by melee attacks, which I was kind of dissapointed by.

Does adrenaline reduce the speed that your energy gets used when charging? If you paralyse a marine who is on a ladder does the marine fall off? When a marine uses a jetpack, does any weapon have the abillity to move you (like the minigun in soldat or the gauss in HL)?
Umm, remember that ns is a hl mod..... Try getting yourself over other model, and then check if you can ride it.... The other player moves a bit, but you stay on the same place so you will fall if he moves, this applies with the onos you have to move at the same speed and run in the right way or you´ll fall..... In other words, you can´t =/
Although it would be cool as heck, sort of like Wyrm Riding from Dune <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

*drool*...
anyway, so that means adrenaline will not extend the length of a single charge, I see.

Oh yeah, back to topic. What? Could you somehow only enable it for an Onos or something?....
