Genoxide Saved The Day

<div class="IPBDescription">last marine, last choice</div> lol today when I was playing on the [cofr] server on the map which has [satelitte] hive, [waste handle] hive and something else, I was palying as aliens as usual, I saved up for onos as we were already winning against the marines, our onos rampaged their spawn and finished them all <b>cept one</b> this sneeky marine managed to pick up a jetpack and hide from us lol it was great fun, I didn't bothered with scent of fear and instead done the good ol way, <b>look</b>, As I was onos I saw the marine at a distance where i could not reach him, with any of my attacks while jumping; he just sat there and looked at me, so i ran away to devolve into a skulk from an onos (all that res wasted) lol, he flew off and flew right into 3-5 of my teammates and tried fleeing away. One of my team skulks tried to get him with genocide but didnt affect him, so i attempted it also, I clicked genoxide and waited for him to draw near, as i waited he already flew abit distance away, but as i exploded i jsut reached the distance and killed him lol he claimed to have 12 hp thats why it was so easy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Genoxide saved the day and not a onos charge.

During that round It was the BEST one ever for me, as I sometimes killed anyone with leap before, I managed to kill 3 marines before we acheived our 3rd hive <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (imho I think leap should do 30 damage or something, 16 isnt good, but as for me I dont understand how leap works :/

    Genocide = killing of a culture/group

    Xenocide = 4th skulk ability

    Regardless of spelling corrections, it's sometimes a great feeling to get that game ending kill in a fanciful display of suicidal power. Sometimes a parasite kill, or a healspray kill is good, but there's nothing like the sheer terror that marine is feeling because you sure as hell are going to make him go splat.

    Buu
    Ireiza Gan (Mouth Beam): Forward, Forward, Ki (Default keys: W, W, Q)
    A pinkish beam attack. This attack cannot be aimed after it's shot.
    Jin Rui Zetsu Metsu kou Geki (Mankind Destruction Attack, AKA, <b>Genocide</b>): Crouch, Crouch, Ki (Default keys: Ctrl, Ctrl, Q) An attack that fires dozens of ki balls into the air that falls randomly. These ki balls cannot be aimed. This attack is best used when directly under an enemy.

    just spelled it incorrectly :/

    Anyone notice if you drop down the console, Half Life calls the kill instrument 'divinewind'

    A take from the japanese word kamikaze, which means divine wind.

    The amount of damage leap inflicts depends on your framerate. At 100 fps you can kill a heavy armor marine with two leaps (or so I hear).

    The original name of Xenocide was "Divine Wind," and the name of the weapon (in the code) was sometimes changed.

    Xenocide, for the record, comes from the greek root <i>xeno-</i>, meaning "strange" or "foreign" (and is frequently used to refer to something alien, e.g. "xenomorph") and <i>-cida</i> or <i>caedere</i>, the latin for "to cut" or "to kill."

    <b>Geno-</b> is from the Greek root <i>genos</i>, meaning "birth, race, or kind."

    Genocide: killing of a race or kind.
    Suicide: killing of self (<i>sui</i>, "his/her own")
    Homicide: killing another (<i>h<b>o</b>mo</i>, human)
    Xenocide: killing a stranger/foreigner/alien

    Insecticide, infanticide, patricide (killing of one's father), matricide (or mother), etc.

    Note that your team would have hunted him down anyway, with or without you xenociding him.
  • FaT_CaMFaT_CaM Join Date: 2003-04-11 Member: 15394Members
    yeah lol. And u thought u were so special.

    i was hoping you were going to say it was you and him and u xenocided his face off. Wait that would be a draw wouldnt it? oh, u need 3 hives to xeno so u could respawn anyhow...

    Dude Redford. If this <b>LEGENDARY HERO</b> didtn xenocide that marine, the marine would have killed <i>EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE ALIENS</i>, starting with their hives, then their dcs, and watch them all slowly die. That marine had a legendary knife. He would have killed them all. This chap saved the day. BOW DOWN. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    He had the <i>Really Big Knife!!!</i>(oh shat)

    Of course they would have hunted him down anyway, it's just way cooler with a final blast kill rather than just chomping/stomping him...
