Flame on!
Onos is too week
Get rid of Onos? How about improve or change the species. I trully believe there should be a big beast for the aliens, it's a lot of fun seing ppl running away and preparing to kill the beast, due to it's enormous bulk. The onos is part of the family already >:

Im gonna have to agree with this, I cant live with out my Onos or me lerky jerky lol
And maybe add something like enabling the Onos to eat up to 2-4 Marines at the same time but make it walk Slower, maybe Attack slower, and the more it eats, the higher chance it has to explode (Killing the Onos, but having the Marines fall out, and perhaps some kind of a Explosion damage?) ! That would be prettttty damn neat. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
if they are being changed all that needs to be done is make them looks meaner and something needs to be done about devour say the marine can do alittle damage over time in there so if he wants to keep him down he has to go back to the hive.
and u should be able to jump over stomp or dodge it with some skill
in trade with maken the ono have more HP
But it should still be the most expensive unit to get - not like in NS1 when several players can save up for an onos with a bit of luck.
the goal of NS2 is not to remake NS in source engine. NS2 is, as i understand it, supposed to be a new game built on the same concept. therefore, making onos the same but looking meaner is definitely not enough. it has to be different.
onos (and maybe another very large alien?) being able to charge through doors is a cool idea. mappers could create onos-specific doors which are only breachable with onos, or maybe a demo pack from marines.
not allowing the larger beasts to climb ladders, imo, would definitely make things more believable, but at the same time pose gameplay problems. mappers will need to create alternate routs for large aliens. it'll make things a bit more difficult for the mapper, but I think it's worth looking at.
It would make it easier to identify which onos to target to save the marine, it would be more realistic, and it would be really cool and funny!! DO it.

Yeah sure, I agree. We need some sort of indicator instead of listening to the sounds or watching the marine disappear very suddenly.
I think that's a VERY good point Kouji. Seeing perfectly and not being able to move sucks. on the other hand, having vission blured so much the best you can determine is light and dark, and having a severly limited mobility would be far more realistic and possibly less frustrating. not to mention it would increase immersion.

Motion Blur is very sketchy because it can't be done with regular DX7 cards, so having such a card would be a clear advantage.
Minimum should be DX8, considering that NS2 isnt coming out "in awhile". Anyways, i think there are otherways of "blocking" the view if you have DX7 card.

Here's something that is in Garry's Mod: Motion Blur. This method doesn't use any shaders and will therefore work on most graphic cards.</i>

and they should keep the onos... first time i got eaten by one i knew this game would rock and iv been in love ever since
Yeah, possibility of knifing the onos while babblers are charging and ransacking you inside the belly.

Thats creepy.....
and make it entertaining when your in onos belly, like, make a new weapon which is finger and poke onos belly alot to pass the time. it should make squishy noises <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
and editing posts are for noobies
this would be lots o fun, but maybe a bit pointless... maybe if you could hack your way out of the onos belly with your knife if he was on low HP, maybe under 150hp?
also, make it so when the marine is finally digested, he is excreted out the back of the onos, maybe the Onos poo could act like fertilizer to the dynamic infestation??? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tiny.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::onos::" border="0" alt="tiny.gif" />
