I'd rather talk about ONI

thx to this thread I was reminded of not having finished ONI yet, so I quickly completed lvl 6-10 yesterday :D

I would like your opinion on why you don't like it, and maybe what you do like about it despite the fact that you don't like the whole thing.
If you happen to like ONI, I'd also be happy about your opinion of course.

Despite it's flaws I like it. I like the different playing style, and the close-combat.
The list of what I do not like is nearly endless. Many details of course. The lack of a menu to change the key configuration. 'twas annoying, having to edit the config manually, and I had some problem with one of the key labels... took me a while to get it right.
And the fact that you can only carry a signel weapon - combined with the fact that dropped stuff disappears quickly. I once exchanged my plasma rife for a rocket launcher just to ambush a pack of enemies. When I wanted to retrieve my rifle, it was gone :hmm:
Also, the awareness of the enemies is too high IMO. Not that I can't cope, of find the difficulty too high, but I always hve to kill everyone to be sure I don't get shot in my back. Maybe I let one or two live, somewhere, but mostly I gotta shoot my way through the enemies. Even if I sneak around them and kill them from behind, it's annoying.
I also found activating the special moves unsatisfying. Some moves, I could try practicing for a dozen times and didn't get it right two times in a row. Small wonder my fighting style is trather simple, 'cept what happens by coincidence.
Especially when I have to fight more than one enemy at once. With a single enemy, I can use simple moves pretty good, but some moves are simply to slow to activate for being any use in a fight.
And some weapons seem rather useless. Like the swarm rocket launcher. I tried to use it at first, but somehow it only works for my enemies. If I am 20 or 100 m away, the rockets track me. But when I use it, no matter that I have an enemy at 10 m in my "crosshairs" the rockets scatter and hit the environment. Not one as much as flies forward. Yeah.

you could be part of a little unit of regular marines, or maybe in terminator armour, or maybe in a dreadnought, or in a landspeeder, or a razorback, or operating a full grown titan, with there being a few of your buddies in the room right behind you fighting of a group of infiltrators, that try to conquer the titan's control room, and steer the thing themselves, and you could like simply stomp opponents to death, and it should all happen in the form of you doing your little part in a massive full-scale battle.
and the first to say "halo" will get his butt kicked.
and the first to say "tribes" will get his nuts kicked.

that would totally kick arse.

imagine it as a mod for u2.... Mmmmm

You know, it sounds a lot like he's talking about Tribes II

Have I told you guys before how much Tribes II r0x0rz? Well, if I haven't, it does. It's way better than stupid Unreal. I mean, saving the Noolie or whatever they're called and throwing 8 balls at Skraggs ... puhl-eeeeeeease

a mix of many games

Part unreal but with rounded surafces and bump map and better texturing.
Real life research tech to be discovered at a price. Design your own weapons ingame or ships and so on,
part privateer
part sims or UO were you have a seemingly normal life
parter trade monitary system.
Free will to do as you like.
No flags saying your a criminal they don't exist in Real life.
This way you can play hero, anti hero, or just plain joe blo if you like.
huge world system and universe no cut spots total 3d space.
