<div class="IPBDescription">After you've been devoured.</div>It bothers me that after you've been devoured, your tenacity as a marine becomes that of a child and you are waiting for your eminent demise. If the onos escapes with you in his belly that is. If I was swallowed I'd still put up a fight with my knife and cut him from the inside out. Doing Half normal damage or something. Maybe we can see some corrosive stomach acid while dieing or something. Instead of a bar that shows time left till your pooped out. Rather then hearing you team dieing outside maybe you can help from the inside as well? Just a thought. Ideas or better suggestions to this are welcome if you think this is a good idea give it 10/10.

    Welcome to the forums, ignore the diabolical bunny over there, we keep it around to kill trolls.

    best idea so far has been to give them a minigame to pass the time. Making digestion a potential hazard = not OK. It is designed to benefit the Onos by giving health, adrenaline, and removing a Marine instantly.

    I would be for a more lively environment, though. The acid idea would be kinda cool as you lose consciousness and get dissolved.

    It has also been discussed in many other threads, please use the search feature to find them. Most recent was <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=103715&st=0" target="_blank">here</a>.

    i think it would be cool if a <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tiny.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::onos::" border="0" alt="tiny.gif" /> devouers a <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" /> a npc zombie pops out and follow the <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tiny.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::onos::" border="0" alt="tiny.gif" /> and fights the <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" />

    <i><!--coloro:#4169E1--><span style="color:#4169E1"><!--/coloro-->First off, im greatly bugged when people try to mess with onos devour. Leave it as is, its MENT to be that way, and it has been that way for several years. You could do a few things on your end to occupy the time... Like look at the tv, read. Talk with your team.


    Onos devour, along with some other things. Just don't need a change.

    @Jedibling: No, this isnt halflife 1-2 nor is it even going to be on the exact same engine (i think). There are no zombies, for any reason once so ever.

    @acemark1: Yes, i know its sometimes hard to wait while your devoured, but the whole idea to try to "cut" or "Shoot" from the inside HAS been suggested before. It wont happen because, the stomach of the onos is "Tight" not loose. It allows no room for movement in a fassion to where a marine could do any useful damage.

    Also, a onos can digest large amounts of metal easily... I think its stomach is the strongest part of its body, heavily muciled. I doubt a knife could do much damage if any at all.

    <b>Leave oni alone please, too many people wanting to change something good to something stupid. (Talking about the zombie pooping idea...)</b>

    This discussion has been done to death. The idea is that it takes you out of the game temporarily. It isn't even that much time. There's no way devour is going to be good for anything if it doesn't at least take you out of the game. If you prefer, I'm sure they could make it so that you can see what's going on in the game, but I think you'd hear even more complaints at that point.

    Word to the wise. Let it be.
