2 Gorg + 4 Skulk Rush

lagger

<div class="IPBDescription">An anti viable tatic?</div> In recent match's the kharra have tried some crazy 2 gorg heal spray with 4 skulks rushing our base in crazy balls out fashion while we where pressuring their hive. YES! that means wwe should kill their hive correct? WRONG! without your main base you have no ammo or other things to drop your spamming marines unless you relocate into their hive which, lets just say is somewhat difficult. Furthermore, i'm really just taking suggestions on how to beet this crazy **** rush <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. *2 ways my clan found how to anti-rush them was to either a: drop 1-2 shotguns and take them out with 1 shot so they cant heal, B: Rush into the pack and drop mines by their gorgs which worked and was hillarious because 2 gorgs and 1 skulk died from a crazy jumping marine*

Actually, in that scenario the marines should finish off the hive, while the commander sells the old base and relocates. The hive is FAR more valuable to the kharaa than a base is to marines.

I can only see this tactic working consistently with very good gorges, but very good gorges generally have better uses than this.

Yes, aliens with no hive have the dreaded cold pinging, AND lose the gorge ability to heal. Marines without a base have more of a chance than aliens without a base.

Hmmm. You two brought up an interesting question to me.

Remember several months ago, when the hive could go, and the aliens could rebuild/survive without the ding ding death tick? Why did they add that? Was that to stop people from getting in some corner of a map with cloaking and messing with the marines? Doesnt the ready room fix that? And what about marines doing it? Hiding in some corner and never moving?

Hmmm.

This is in tournament mode guys... where they took the ping out! just fyi <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ++ during the rush 1-2 of the aliens are bound to die and start respawning at the hive.. its tricky to spawn camp and build cc/spawns at the same time ASSUMING you have 30 rsr saved for this extra command chair

Healing your teammates during a battle is nothing new. In fact, the healing is what makes a gorge rush so potent. You're just substituting the 4 gorges with skulks.
