I was on a map yesterday where I knew (awareness) with one more shot the titan would go down, and someone else would come in and take it. This happened four times in a row, so us high level players deal with this too. I'm just happy it went down before killing me.

As for lag from big maps, Im sorry, I have a very fast computer and It takes a lot to make me see my fps drop 

I think it's been written:
First remove the lag from your own i(nternet connection), and then you can see clearly to fix the specs that is in your brother's i(nternet connection)
So don't let them bring you down.

Most of all, I hate being inundated with 5 rounds of 2 people complaining about the map when no one else is willing to vote it off. 

I agree






You mean I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?

I like ONS because I am not fighting someone 1 to 2 hundered levels higher than me to kill every creature that spawns. Its nice to line up on a creature and not have some on jump between you and It and take your shot away, or worse yet slide in front of you just as you let go your burst of 3 rockets killing you in the splash. I also like to have plenty of room to manuver, I tend to die when I can't dodge.  


What you're saying is true some times. Most lower leveled people play ONs and level up within the first ten waves from not having the monsters being swarmed by others before they can get a chance to kill it. Happens to me a lot as a medic. I try to kill a warlord or queen, and someone takes the kill while I am heailing either someone else or myself. The only thign I don't like is the size of most ONS maps. Too large means the monsters are scarce some times. They can all be in one place, and you wouldn't know any better. It can get annoying.

Furry and proud of it!

Although, if this democracy makes a mistake, it only lasts 45 minutes. I think we can cope with that.

Maybe I'll try to find a few more like that so everyone can live in peace... 


Why cant there be peace no mater what type we play?

 


Well, if it's democracy in action for people to vote the maps while playing, it's also democracy in action to discuss likes and dislikes on the forum.

The fact is there is an endless stream of new players that are charmed by the "wow, that sounds cool" idea of ONS maps, which greatly contributes to them being voted, in my experience. By wave 10 on a map like ONS-Red Planet, during peak time, the server is down to 10 players as they slowly drop off.

So that wave of newbies learned they don't like Onslaught. Cue the next and repeat.

As many are saying, it's not the game type, it's the map size. When you can go a minute or two without seeing a single bug, or when the only weapon I use for the first five waves is the Lightning gun, to me something is wrong.

But I'm like Kitfox. I just drop off until it's done.

I usually drop off on ons maps too. When i do play them, I always try and get somebody to play "bumper cars" with. Fun, but not many people bump back.

ONS maps do get boring. I've been through an entire ONS map and didn't find one monster the entire time. Still, it is all up to the players at that time. If they want to try it, it's their votes that matter.
One other thing. I want to know if this happens to anyone else. I try to make a medical link gun +6 and use it to heal my vehicle, when the game bugs out becuase of that weapon. Does this happen to anyone else?

You have to wait a second or two after you make the medic gun before you start healing your vehicle. If you try and heal it right after you make it, it will crash.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!"

Does anyone use the radar screen in the upper right hand corner? On ONS maps, I just cruise around till I find a yellow dot and then head for it. I like ONS just for the shear pleasure of something different to play.

That is a good idea, but sometimes someone is all ready attacking that monster. The radar does halp a bit, but it still doesn't make the monsters any easier to find before they're all ready killed. How many times has this happened to anyone.
You're driving around on an ONS map that is pretty large when you spot a dot on your radar that seems likea good target. Near it is several other dots that are a mixture of blue and yellow. By the time you get there, all the monsters are dead and the others have all ready left with their EXP from the kills.
It keeps happening until you finally find a monster that isn't undr attack by anyone else. Once you attack it, you kill it and get the EXP from that kill, but you try to find others and can't for round after round. It ends only to find that you have a low score and EXP from lack of monster kills.
This happens all the time to me on large ONS maps. Smaller ones like Pacman are good because everyone is all together and fighting the monsters all in the same area without many that aren't spotted by someone to be killed by you or them.

Red Planet is particularly painful. We did that one yesterday and it took us almost an hour to finish. Vehicles and large distances trivialize the actual combat encounters, but hunting the critters down takes forever.

Well particularly for me....i like ons maps......when i bought ut04 i started out playing ons 1st then dm then ctf then instagib then tam...after that invasion .........Usually I can get a lot of exp on ons maps coz of my manta and raptor driving skills and i can even compete for the high score against ppl that are level 100-300 with my mere level 50-60 weapon master.....for me it's a nice break from ppl with quickfoot and triple damage hogging all the kills in a regular invasion map......the little bug that escapes every now and then can be frustrating to find.....same with the fps drop and the lag but once its voted then i just play it.

I just wish Mysterial had kept working on that system where you'd earn score and adrenaline as you earn xp, by the damage you do to a monster and not by kills. He said he was working on it...before I stopped playing....in November 2004.

Heh.

You want to play Bumper Cars some time Fro, look me up! I tend to have Raptor chicken wars with other people that have trouble finding monsters in Onslaught.

Then again, manta chicken tends to be more fun since there's the whole 'pancake' thing that's more than fun to do to -anything-, monsters and humans alike.
