Ehhh I dunno gorgies can be a little on the tough side at times. That said, because their role is now combat support as well as building, they can't fall over at the sight of one turret.
It is scary though for a marine early game to encounter a gang of 3 gorges (or is it gaggle? Tune in next week to hear what the name for a group of gorges is! ) all healspraying. It's like a mobile sphere of damage, and you sure as heck can't kill the guys. Does net the gorges much needed res however <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The gorge rocks, if you find him hard to kill, ok, he is hard to kill. Some aliens BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!! are hard to kill ... the creators of the game wanted the aliens to ... be able to kill the marines as well, now that wasn't very stupid of them, now was it?
Apparently, a gorge goes backwards the same speed a marine goes forwards. Note to marines: do not charge at a backpedalling gorge with your knife, especially if he is out of range of said knife.

(How about giving the gorge a big afro and some shades? ). gorges aren't that though, even in 2.0, they just respond better to marines attacking by means of a murderous rampage that will haunt you in your dreams and emotionally scar you for the rest of your life(and afterlife). i think it's great they made the gorge a tad stronger, in almost every game the builder class is overly weak and i'm getting pretty tired of that.
but some gorges can be stupid, throwing bilebombs at marines and wondering why they didn't die.
it still amazes me how high the gorge can jump. heal spray is leathal, the range on it is silly. I have killed an been killed by a gorge from a mile away. u only need 5 spit shots too kill a marine as well (lvl0 armour).
