Unstoppable Rush's?

<div class="IPBDescription">For both marines and aliens</div> For marines, with a large team you can send one marine to each hive at the begining, build one ip, build one armoury, drop 8 or so shotguns and then just rush their hive, and med spam out of any danger you encounter

For aliens, as the picture shows, the gorge rush. This is kind of surprising, and you will need a very organized team. Everyone goes gorge and drops 3 mc's(That game we accidently had 5), and gets adrenline. Then a huge gorge train charges, or waddles, into the marine base, it doesn't matter if they have turrets, everyone just healsprays constantly. The amrines can never kill a gorge, and the gorges never run out of energy. If th base isn't destroyed in 20 or so seconds, the gorges who didn't put down a MC can put down OC's

I Just palyed 4 games on mineshaft and thats all that happened, in every game. Anyone notice a rise in these tactics?

    Now combine both of those rushes and you have a fair battle. Shotguns own gorges.

    Mines are also a great counter to early Gorge rushes. Lerks are excellent against masses of LA marines.

    Yep I have seen this happen a couple of times, though not with a group that big.

    I suppose it's something the marines just have to find a way over <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We tried it out with 9 gorges once. Even marines with shotguns were mowed down by the gorge gang <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. Mines might be able to stop it, but a level 0 gorge can take a hit by a mine, and since you have 8 other gorges healing you, you're nearly invincible.

    You'd have to stack the mines, one on top of another in order to kill one.
