** Several players have noted that the Laser Rifle, despite doing a massive 4,000 damage, (almost 4 times higher than the next most powerful weapon, the Longshot SniperRifle), is highly impractical because it has an extremely slow rate of fire - the Longshot Sniper Rifle will do almost as much damage in the same amount of time due to its lower rate of fire, and has a larger clip. There are also no Dinosaurs, excluding the bosses, that can survive a hit from a Longshot anyway, but the Laser Rifle is less effective against the bosses than the Minigun or the Rocket Launcher. The only notable advantage the Laser Rifle has is that it will penetrate everything in its way.
** In ''Rampage'' Mode, players have a tendency to pick big, tough dinosaurs like the Spinosaur and the Tyrannosaurus. However, this tends to result in carriers hiding in the small buildings the bigger dinosaurs can't enter, where they can shoot them at their leisure. In the same vein, when playing as a Carrier, most players choose the Assault class, which is not particularly useful in ''Rampage'' as the jet pack does not work while carrying T-Rex eggs, and they don't have as much health as the Support Class.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: ORION has been noted as being similar to many multiplayer first-person shooters, but with the addition of Dinosaurs.

'''ORION: Prelude''' (formerly known as ''ORION: Dino Horde'' and before that ''ORION: Dino Beatdown'') is an indie Sci-Fi shooter that puts you and your friends together into intense, cinematic battles using some of the most incredible weaponry and amazing vehicles in which you must work or compete against one another to accomplish mission objectives, explore giant worlds and survive the devastating Dinosaur Horde.

Created by Spiral Game Studios and Published by Trek Industries, when the game was first released it was considered, in the lead developers own words "one of the worst games of all time". However, over three years the game has received countless ''free'' updates [[{{Altitis}} and even renames]], and is notable for being a surprisingly cheap game, currently sitting at less than $1 USD.

In case it wasn't [[CaptainObvious obvious]], the game has been an outright con that plagiarizes assets from other games en-masse for the majority of its existence.

* HalloweenSpecial: One map, titles "Hell", is clearly this, giving the players a shot at killing the pumpkin king if they can kill a ghost raptor first.
