Oh No! An Onos!

Was just playing in a game and had something I thought was really funny happen. I think the map was NS Caged, but I'm not sure. I don't know the map names yet, sorry.

Anyhow, me and someone named KD were fades and we were trying to attack the marine base. We were being held back at one of those double door things, that if messed with a bit ends with one door going up, while the other goes down when you push the switch. Anyhow, what would happen would be either a marine or one of the two fades would open the doors, a volley of shots (grens, acid rockets, bullets, etc) would go through, then the door would close and both sides would basially re-arm.

Anyhow, me and KD realized that we'd just gotten the third hive, so we both go Onos. We push the button and as the door starts going up we can hear the marines start to fire. The door opens more and both Onos charge out. The marines, mostly guys in regular armor with LMG's all turned and ran away, getting trampled in the hallway.

It just looked really funny, and was just picturing the marines side.

"Alright, here come those fades again, open fi...ONOS! RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!"

We both ended up dying in the middle of the marine base but we took out a bunch of marines, a lot of turrets, the turret factory, and a phase gate. A genociding skulk took out their armory. After that, the game was basically over.

Anyone else have stories like that?

    I take that "one door up one door down" thing as a valid tactic and do it all the time when on the defencive end.

    Just hit the button as a skulk or crouched marine and stay under ONE door and wait for the other to go down, after the 2nd is finished going down press the button while still under the door and get out from under the door. The previously closed door will go up and the door you're under will go down. vola!

    hehehehe... can see the picture infront of me with the marines yelling and running...

    don't have such thing.... except for all the times when i have running out of ammo and starts to hunt fades with just the knife and they run...

    Hehehe. Once on Tanith, we just got 3 hives, and a gorge was at waste handling, but a marine was chasing him. I was ono and the LMG marine goes running straight at the gorge until I come around the corner. Instead of even attempting to finish me off, he just turned tail and hoofed it.
    The best part of it was, I could picture his face as he paused a second to realize he was screwed.

    I was Fade and I cloaked up into a corner. A marine came by and decided to camp right next to me. He thought something was wrong and I knew what he was thinking so I slashed him.

    was on caged one time, me and some other guys were using skulks/fades to pound at the base.. i had cloaking already as my sense ability.. 3rd hive goes up, i go onos soon after.. about 10 seconds after that i see 3 marines come chasing a skulk down the hallway.. poor **obscenity**.. one pretty much bumped into me when i uncloaked and attacked him splitting him neatly downt he middle, and i dont think i have seen marines move faster than those last two when they turned tail and ran back to base.

    Had the lvl 2 cloak as fade and a newb (name was NSPlayer) parked it next me. He noticed a funny shape and walked right up to me and couldn't figure out what was stopping him from getting into the corner.

    One of those "gotta be there" things, but my room mate got a good laugh at em.
