You get to hear the battle raging around you. People have complained some but, A. the onos doesn't eat everybody. It's not something that's <i>constantly</i> happening. B. You can just get up and stretch. Just think of it as a little break in what otherwise is a rather serious attack on your senses. Having played 1.04 once (again) a couple of weeks ago, I can say that 2.0 is a lot more intense. You'll want to stretch.

After reading about Gun Kata I think it would work against Kharaa, it would need some fine tuning but I think a Gun Kata master of the highest Rank could predict the Kharaa movements and actions. He would crap his pants once an Onos showed up, but Skulks, Gorges and Lerks would be no problem form a Gun Kata Master
2) I hope commander health droping has been blocked too for that marine !
3) his weapons are dropped on the floor just before being swallowed ?
4) is there a limit of how many marines he can eat while digesting one ?
5) any visual/soundable clues for other marines to see an onos with swallowed marine just after being eaten ?
6) if onos is killed by explosions (can they be hurt by mines ?), is digesting marine health the same as when he was in stomach prior to onos's death (meaning not droped down even more) ? An Onos dying from shooting shouldn't degrade marine's health even more. An explosion doing this would be more true to life as the marine might have suffered from the explosion too.
7) can onos devour an alien to gain additional health/ressource ?
2) I hope commander health droping has been blocked too for that marine !
You can't pick up health if you’re being eaten.
3) his weapons are dropped on the floor just before being swallowed ?
You can rescue him(kill the onos before it finishes the digestion), and if you rescue the marine then he comes out with his weapons. So no.
4) is there a limit of how many marines he can eat while digesting one ?
1 marine at a time.
5) any visual/soundable clues for other marines to see an onos with swallowed marine just after being eaten ?
You hear some sort of a digestion sound coming from the marine. That and your teammate yelling at you to kill the onos.

Onos can be hurt by mines (why wouldn't they?). You come out of the onos hurt, I don't really understand the rest of the question. Sorry.

2. when devored, can the marein shoot at the onos on the inside when he is being devourd, or knife...

Isn't this already the case in 1.04???
Of course, I've seen eggs jumping around like skulks in the actual game, which I'm sure was just some weird model glitch.
Yes... we are talking about the technology of the future where every alien keeps it's abilities like flying and wallclimbing.

I think by increasing the cost for fade from 54 to 75 will make the game uneven. I think marnines will have the advantage now since it'll cost more to get fade. Plus it takes forever to get that many resources.
I though there is gona be a <b>nuclear bomb </b>in 2.0<u><!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--></u> u can even see it in the screen shot
Actually that shots pre 1.0. It's from waaaaaaay back in the day before they released. The nuke was taken out because it was massively unbalanced. Lastly, that's actually a couple of nades going off, not the nuke. From what I've heard the nuke just made your screen go white and everything died.

I'm sorry I'm a bit of newb when you talk about this.
What is "Gun Kata?"
I think it would work against Kharaa, it would need some fine tuning but I think a Gun Kata master of the highest Rank could predict the Kharaa movements and actions.
He would crap his pants once an Onos showed up, but Skulks, Gorges and Lerks would be no problem form a Gun Kata Master
Probably pretty damn hard.
1) can the commander see him on his screen ?
2) I hope commander health droping has been blocked too for that marine !
3) his weapons are dropped on the floor just before being swallowed ?
4) is there a limit of how many marines he can eat while digesting one ?
5) any visual/soundable clues for other marines to see an onos with swallowed marine just after being eaten ?

Don't think so. Not positive though.

Nope.
