Devour Question

MadjaiMadjai Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2986Members
When the onos eats a marine up, and the marine then dies, does the onos poop out the weapon he was carrying? like if it was a HMG HA guy, would the gun drop after he dies or would it just disapear?

    .....who knows but .....imagine running around as a marine and get stuck in onos poop!.....or a skulk runs by and chomps on the onos feces.......horrible horrible questions can come out of this one!

    ok lets try to focus less on the "poop" and more on the question <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    When the marine had a GL the onos is pooping all the left Grenades in a random interval.
    When he had mines the onos can place down brown poop-mines.
    When he got a Welder the onos backside starts glowing for 5 minutes making it dificult to hide.
    HA + HMG are not devourable, so this can be carried again after an onos pooped it out, IF you really want this. Of course you are "parasited" then.

    The weapon should disappear when the marine dies inside the onos, due to digestion. Please, no juvenile talk of "omg onos can eat they must poop too lol", there was far too much of that in the original devour thread.

    Wait.. so onos can just eat people now? Can they eat heavy armor guys? that seems a bit cheap to me. Although, I've never seen marines win after aliesn got onos anyway. Your comm or team has to really suck for the aliesn to get onos.

    For the price and tek it will require to get lvl 4 onos' it will not be cheap, he can eat 1 marine at a time and it takes time to digest him. It makes a good counter to heavy armor, and as you counter the heavy armor they proceed to counter your counter with jps... mmmm yess counter systems... this could turn out nicely.... OR very bad.

    I shouldn't think so, as then Devouring could be a useful way of getting rid of heavily armed marines, and those marines would have to be more careful to not get eaten.

    Id rather concentrate on the poop <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Its simple... Onos eats HMG marine, he becomes a marine with HMG and kills people until he decides not to be an HMG marine anymore. Onos eat jp marine, he can fly. Onos eat comm chair, the onos will be comm for the rest of the game until "logout" as in... stopcommandermode. Onos eat marine with welder, his breath will act like a health spray to all alien buildings. Onos eat gorge (lmao), he craps out an army of gorges with infinite res that replaces spit with babblers. Onos eat own poop, onos gets really bad breath and it acts like a spore cloud but can kill aliens too.

    You get the idea... <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> that can copy <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> and <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> by eating em.

    Reminds me of Jurrasic Park. Just put a sick Onos in the place of the dinosaur.

    umm, while you're devouring someone as Onos can you still use other abilities like bite/paralyze(if it's still in)? or do you have to stay on devour waiting for it to finish.

    I disagree entirely. If your team sucked you would have died when there were only fades and skulks running around with leap. Since the other team had to get onos you were probably pretty good and able to hold them back for a while.

    ya how come in every Jurassic Park movie they end up searching through dinosaur poop sometime in the movie? I mean, it's funny the first time, but by the time the 4th movie comes out, it's gonna just be getting a little too old. Anyways, I can definitely picture a desperate nub searching through some rank onos poop just to find his shotgun. Commanders should just drop it in the onos poop in the beginning!
    Anyways, if those onos poops are big enough: Camping spots? lol

    So you guys put the devour ability in your reasoning, but not a 1-hive Onos, eh?

    The gun will most likely drop after the guy dies unless Flayra specifically wants the marines to lose the weapon in a devour which I doubt. If an Onos can devour a HA marine, then it's definetly a counter to the HA marine. The armor will just keep the marine in there LONGER. We don't even know how many hives are necessary for the ability. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Currently, the Onos spits the gun out once the marine is dead. This may or may not change, but it seems to work pretty well.
  • ZelZel Join Date: 2003-01-27 Member: 12861Members
    OMG a definitive answer out of a playtester. mark this date on your calendars for it is a once in a lifetime thing.

    anyway, yeah spitting the gun out after the marine is dead is good. i was kinda worried if the onos spits out the gun immediately another marine could grab it and finish off the onos. although i DO like the idea of hiding in a large intangible brown pile model. and getting incoming skulks off guard!
