Primed nades + Devour

<div class="IPBDescription">Boom, baby</div>I was playing NS today and thought it'd be cool if when you got devoured by an onos while priming a nade that it could go off inside the stomach, blowing the Onos up from the inside. Of course it's almost impossible to predict when an onos will in fact devour you, but it wouldn't be that rare, I don't think.

    Hmm. I guess I should have used the search function. I usually do, but find nothing so I kinda gave up on search on forums. I apologize.

    Handgrenades - 10 res to research
    Onos - 75 res
    Vanilla Marine w/ 2 free nades - 0 res
    Taking out a top-tier lifeform at no cost to the marine team - priceless.

    Worst idea ever, no matter how many times it is mentioned. Think before you post.

    LOL someone MSPAINT <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    you know this has been suggested so many times - even more than a sniper rifle or dual pistols.....

    perhaps the ns team should give in and implement this to a certain degree - ONOS swallows a marine with either mines or grenades - an explosion will occour in the ONOS' stomach area *cue visual effects* HOWEVER it will NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. That way you could still get the - OMG LOL THAT WAS KEWL in there without stuffing up the game

    or perhaps the onos should just fart or something i dunno

    i would say this is hardly the worst idea ever, and not because i think it is a great idea.

    i mean it isnt exactly easy to predict when an onos is going to devour you. and for the onos, seeing a marine with a grenade in his hand may change his mind about devouring him. all it has to do is change to his normal attack, kill him, take barely any damage from the grenade explosion, then devour a different marine.

    what is so bad about that? i think it would make the game more interesting

    One thing I've always wanted to do from inside an onos was use the radio commands to taunt the onos with.

    Well, respawning at an IP costs actually 1 res!

    So unless you were refering to the initial spawn then your calculation is wrong <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />

    Er...only if you're playing Battlefield 2 rather than NS. Spawning in NS is quite free... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="???" border="0" alt="confused-fix.gif" />

    Yes spawning is free...If you don't believe me, create your own game. Recycle your base RT after building IPS and kill yourself. You will see no change in res.

    Anyway, you could have the grenade just do reasonable damage instead of killing the onos entirely.

    or you could make the onos like yoshi from mario series - when he eats a marine he can spit them back out as a projectile, and if its a marine with a grenade the onos will spit them out as a flame projectile LOL <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    now the onos just needs a long tongue and "beoawwww" type sound..

    lol, that'd be great to see an onos help the little guy out by lifting him to an area the gorge can't reach. How about the gorge just riding on his back the whole way, healing when necessary.

    Couldn't the grenade blow up in the Onos stomach but only do minimal damage? Perhaps like 20 damage or something small. It could even just damage the marine inside rather than the Onos, although that might bring balance issues (OMG, I'm going to be devoured! Going to prime my grenade to spawn faster *evil grin*).

    It would defiantly silence all the primed nades and devour idea's, add a little more common sense friendliness into the game and not really affect balance too much (hey, the Onos can self heal more than the nade would damage him <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />).

    Just a thought <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Either no damage or only a small degree of damage. Realistically a grenade would kill the onos from inside, but there is no way that the marine could hold on to the primer through all the chewing and swallowing.
