That's fine with me, just wondered if anything had been announced.
Sorry if this is posted somewhere, I have looked but the forum search is minimum of 4 characters (HA, HMG, JP all less than 4)

This might not answer your question but you can 'see' them in the model viewer, and one fan made mod has a working jet pack. You can use cheats in game to get the minigun and onos. The models aren't viewable, you can only see how the minigun fires (probably not the final version), and see how high the onos player's view is.
What's the command for the onos view? And does it change your bounding box/player movement stuff?
From what i've read much of the code is done already, same with the models, so i don't quite get why they can't or won't put some of it together now and get it in game, they seem to keep shifting focus and bug fixing, so it would be nice to see them focus more on the main content which is what really matters and what everyone wants, even the mod community can bang things out in a reasonable time frame...

They won't start on Onos and Exo till the new Animation system is impemented. Also main conten is added al the time. Next things will come are phantasmes and the Shift (MC). And what is basic content? Hell it is a new game in development and not NS1 Spark. JP, HMG and Onos will be implemented last because they are Tier 3 (of 3).
It is more important to work on other tasks with higher priority than Tier 3.
I'll recomend you PTMod from Schnitzel if you want Tier 3 things.
That way they wouldn’t have to worry about balancing it :-)
Patience is the only thing we have in our favor for now...
I have a lot of experience with this in my current employer.
The customers want features features features. So the developers worked on features, every release. They would add a feature built upon a buggy feature, and we would go months and years with the same bugs in the systems because they needed all the man resources for features.
You HAVE to prioritize properly, get a solid groundwork done and get a relatively stable bug free environment, then you can add features, fix any bugs that pop up as the result of those features, then add more features, rinse and repeat.
Right now UWE is doing it EXACTLY how they should. They are taking the time to fix a boat load of bugs, issues, exploits and Quality of Life things and adding some small features here and there that don't take up too many man hours. Once they have a good relatively bug free and general performance level baseline they are free to concentrate on big ticket features.
I have a feeling that after this patch, they will possibly release one more smaller bug fix small feature and possibly server oriented patch (maps, server quality of life things etc). Then they may switch gears into some of the more bigger things like Tier 3.
People need to realize and think.. Do you really want to play with the Onos or HA when you have exploits, horrible FPS, bugs that make your abilities not work? OR Would you rather wait for a solid game at its base, then add features in, fix bugs with those features, add another feature, etc.
Point about the Onos moving through Vent is mute as they can use the door going to Crossroads.
It had also crossed my mind that the high of the map in places does reduce the effectivness of JPs, Some areas of concern are:
Flight Control
Crevice (Clearly the 'room' is to small for any decent JP use)
Some corridors (FC > Heli, FC > XR)
The door can be locked, stop saying that. None of us know how the Onos kicking down doors with work, so as of right now all we have to work with is he will be force to flee through a very tight area.
Just no! Not with the amount of HP they have
more like because of the stamina drain, the onos will just sit there and be unable to do anything.
activate cheats, then simply enter 'onos' in the console. Its just like being an Onos (movement, perspective, size) only you're invisible.
other commands are in this thread <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=110386" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=110386</a>
