Gorge Rushing

<div class="IPBDescription">more fun than a ferret in your pants!</div> Just tried this tactic, and it worked on (out of all things) a 2.01c server <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Scenario: NS_LOST

Basically the entire team went gorge, dropped 3 MCs for celerity then the three gorges unevolved back to skulks .... the mob then moved to the marine spawn capping the res towers on the way. Once inside marine spawn two marines were killed by heal spray and the commander by a skulk... IP was spitted to death, however the marines had relocated <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

We blocked off the exits to their relocation with OCs (they were packed tightly in there with siege + turrets so it was hard to get closer) while another gorg went to build the hive. Two lerks with umbra and a pack of regenerating gorges spitting out bilebombs spelt the end for the poor marines <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Would like to hear more stories of (un)sucessful executions of this strategy <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Gorge rushing is comedy, and against a good marine team, useless.

But a rush with two gorges backed up by an Onos or a fade is devastating, or even a singleskulk.

Bile bomb is atm themost underused attack in the game.

See a badly placed turret farm under a vent? Stop saving for Onos and bile bomb it from the vent.

once on ns_nothing, we've made this gorge rush 4 times in a row using carapace... the comm doesn't know how to stop it, the first 2 times we won without they had relocated... on the third move, they had relocated to the powersilo hive, and we've locked them there with ocs... that was pure comedy, they lose the match again
but on the 4th match, the comm dropped some mines, and marines put them on the ground of the marine start... one of the gorgs accidentaly step on one of the mines, blowing away the other 5 or 6 gorges... that was pretty funny too lol

funny tatic no doubt <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->
