<div class="IPBDescription">An effective hive defence.</div> ok, i was in a game, where there had to be atleast 15 people on each team. One gorge and two skulks went out to cap stuff, the rest of the team just camped on the walls and ceiling by the entrances.
A group of marines rushed the hive. They all ran in with pistols and lmgs drawn. No one moves. We all hid in the shadows and waited. One marine spoted a skulk, and they ALL opened fire on the poor man. He fell off the ceiling and landed on a marines head just before he died. so thats one out of 14 marines dead.
Next, they spoted one on the wall. Shot him to hell. Reload time. When we heard the first click, we charged them. We got three before the got the first shot off. I swear i head a brick hiting the floor. Two more marines died then they learned to aim. I saw, at one short point a lawn mower of three skulks rushing the marine line, shoulder to shoulder. They chewed down atleast 8 before they died. We moped up the rest of them and noticed they wernt respawning. We asked "WTH, Why ain't they commin' back in?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->?" Apparently, out gorge and skulks that went out for res got thier cc and spawn portals.
Game over, man, game over!!!
It totaly looked like it was raining mutated dogs and parasites. I dont remember what map it was though. Oh well, it was a good strat and a good game.

rampaging gorge=much kewler
The reason we did it in the hive was so that they couldnt flank around us and sneak in the back way. It was on some custom map with a LOT of dark corners and walls, ext, so it was extreamly easy to hide and split up. They also could not shoot the hive from outside. they had to step in to get at it.
Still, when you hear the sound of 10 or so skulks hitting the ground at the same time, you tend to want to <censored> a brick. That alone caused enough confusion. when we all hit the ground, there was atleast a 2 second delay before the first marine fired his rifle.
it does make the marines jump. One of them actually jumped in game. Its like me. I hear that sound as a marine, and i always hit my jump button and crouch in mid air. Then a skulk bites me in the **** and i die. lol
