Gorge is pretty much the only playable class for me.
Skulk? Forget it. I just can't kill anyone and die immediatly. Skulk is just a way to get to the position where I will go gorge.
Lerk? Useless up close and the players don't seem to have understood how to make use of one, ie: protect it. I'd love to be a lerk but I tend to stay alive long enough just to say "I got umbra up in.. cover me!! Help.. nevermind"
Fade? It's really cool to blink around but with my 200 ping, choke and low fps I suck at melee so I'm pretty useles.
Onos? This I wouldn't mind. Problem is, I'm always spending my resources on structures when I am gorge so I never get to be Onos.
I just wish I had a *little* more energy. Celerity gorge is so much fun. Circlestrafing marines and spitting them is great fun, but I run out of energy too fast. An adrenaline/cara gorge feels like a chubby little cute tank, and works well against all but end-game Marines. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
This thread is the win, I haven't seen this much competence in a single thread since I first joined. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I find myself temp gorging a lot now, as the res doesn't flow at all. I'll usually gorge, put up a hive, res node, or WoL, and then go back to skulk to grab some more res. I've yet to try offenseive walls of lame though.
When i gorge, it seems i gorge till the end because my rps dont' get up to 100 by time im done builidn to go onos..
I like to however drop sensory chambers in a trail up to the marines base.. this helps with attacking <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> onos sit out and just wait for them to stumple out.. stomp.. kill.. lol <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
gorge is a very usefull guy now, tho i miss my babblers!!! omg so freakin fun back in the day babbling over and over into there base Lol. o man so much fun...
Lately I've been flipping between gorge and lerk many times over the course of a game.
This may sound silly, but the reason is that when I'm the 4th gorge on the team with some fades and onos running about and no lerks, the team needs the support I provide. Anyway, I try to live, get about 50 res, go gorge and get an rt and defend it or build a strategic base, then run about fighting as gorge until
1.) I die
2.) I have enough to lerk again, at which point I evolve.
It still feels wierd to me to play gorge as a combat class as opposed to "1.04's" run fatty run, the marines are after you.

I usually start the game by staying as a <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> for a while. Ill get max res in about 10 min from the kills I get then Ill usuly go <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> and put up the remaining hive(s) and defenses.
I dont get to go <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> with the rest of the team but I can go "Combat <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> " and be the team medic and (as MonsE says) "Gortillery" the marine base with my bile bomb.
Its also fun to slowly build up cloaked OCs and DCs around the routes to the marine base, slowly building these little outposts closer and ever so closer to them, boxing them in and traping them MUhahhahaha......
