Gorge In An Offensive Attack

creaping_death

<div class="IPBDescription">With out building</div> We were on hive down and they where camping it

Two fades hamming them constantly then running off to heal so I went gorge (adrenaline + carapace) and layed some webs every where they where coming through giving them an easy target. Healing them when needed.
The healing was all they really needed to be effective I used the spit to do some damage when the siege was down up went the offensive chambers and was up hill from then on

The point is when attacking a heavy defended base a gorge near by healing, webbing is really effective on coming marines is really effective but you need a partner in crime fade or lurk usually benefit best

And blubbers really own (three hives required) but be careful with them

tubbies take alot of resources from the rest of us, and our pool is drained.. Its best to build as a tubby, but working as a support unit once you have a base done is smart.

even if the gorge drains some res : one or two fades can really massacre a group of marines when they are healed by the gorge all the time. most of the times the marines are so busy with firing at the fades and dodging that they wont even notice the gorge

Yep, a gorge is fantastic support for a fade assault. Personally I tend to use web almost offensively. Marines will be able to see webs you lay down ahead of time. I spin them when the marine has engaged to cut off escape <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> You'd be amazed how many you can take down.

Another small tip: When healing fades, even if their health bar is maxed, keep healing for a bit. A fade can have up to 150 armor which makes a huge difference and can be restored by healing spray as well.

A lerk is even better most of the time.

No point in healing fades that can't be shot. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

An HMG will get through that umbra in no time. It fires so fast it has a prett good chance in getting through.
Multiple HMG's and you can wave that fade goodbye <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

My offensive gorge experience goes something like this.

I'm sitting outside of the marine entrance door. (I forget the map names, it the one with the CC way in the back of the Marine spawn, and 2 doors leading into different halls)

I throw up about 6 low webs in the same spot and wait for some one to open the door. I spit at them and run around the corner. 2 marines get webbed, one of them is pretty much frozen in spot. I charge him with spit, and when i get to him switch over and kill him with healing spray <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I was then toasted by his partner, since he only caught one or two webs, and my pudgy legs don't move very fast. Still a very fun experience though.
