Is gorge as dangerous as engineer

Darkness · October 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">In tf</div>I want to know, when playing as a groge, can you actually kill marines easy with the propher skill? or are you just there to build and help teammates. I remember in TF the engineer could open up 2 cans of wh00pass with his grenades, and the shottie gave a punch too,
so i hope the gorge will be just as usefull in combat

PT?

Useful in most combat? Absolutely not.

However, a well played gorge with good aim and some defense chambers or a hive to back him up can get some kills using spit or healing spray (toxic to the marines).

Babblers can also do some damage, if used right, but they are mainly a support class, so don't expect to see elite gorges on servers, much.

It's ALWAYS an embarassment to die by healing spray, parasite, or spit. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

The way I see it, if he was too dangerous that would promote going on the offensive for frags rather than building and defending like he supposed to do, so I certainly hope he can't be powerful on his own.

He doesnt have to be that efficient, i just hope hes able to help defending the bases efficient if under attack

Well, if you're like me, you love TFC Engy <i>and</i> NS Gorge. I play as a builder quite a bit, and I have found some pretty useful tactics that make him both fearsome and demoralizing to play against.

For example, I will set up OC-Web traps - Lay two Offense Chambers in a dark corner, then a couple webs very low on the ground a ways off. Marine stumbes into web and gets cut to pieces by the OC's as he tries pathetically to waddle out of the way.

Or, say you're minding your own builder business when one of those rambo's comes at you with his peashooter. Flip a few webs in his direction, and the tables are turned. You then kill him with a slow, humiliating gorge-spray attack that let's everyone know a n00b just got pwned.

There's lots more, but there are 2 to get you started.

gorge can also play a vital support role in combat, by providing healing sprays and building defense chambers (which heal alien players nearby) and offensive turrets right on the frontlines...

how effective is the spit attack and healing spray on marines?

funny thing would be, a corridor, onos charging, u web all the marines <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

It takes around 10 hits to kill a marine, allowing time for you to get owned, hard... alot. That's also if you have perfect accuracy.

DOOManiac · October 2002

they are without a doubt the weakest two attacks in the game. Builders are support class, not combat ;)

Don't worry though, once you get webs it evens things up, and Babblers just add to the fun ^_^

Da_Sarge · October 2002

Here's another question on gorge. How many shots do you need to pump in one to kill it? I am assuming one shotfun blast from right in it's face will get rid of it in a hurry. Can't wait to try.

RhoadsToNowhere · October 2002

The builder is actually quite a bit stronger than either the Lerk or the Skulk. Combine that and the fact that if you encounter a Gorge in the field, he sometimes has defensive chambers around him, you'd actually be surprised how much abuse the little guys can take.

I had a great builder kill once. I'd just set up a low web when I heard a marine coming. I stopped, cloaked, and he ran into the room. He *knew* I was there, but couldn't see me... finally, he hopped the web and ran on. I quickly threw up a second web at chest level and ran around the other corner as he came back... I stopped and recloaked. Sure enough, I heard the delightful sound of him hitting my webs. I immediately launched 4 babblers around the corner, then slipped into the room and watched them tear him apart. When he died, I just chuckled. (:<

You'll be surpised just how fun it is to kill a marine with healing spray. With luck and skill, a Gorge can kill a marine. Two without prior planning with almost certainly kill him. The offensive builder is an great tactic to try, but it's hard to pull off.

MastaKey · October 2002

Heeeeh webs.i bet they're a lot o fun ^_^

one question though: how do you set them up? (hmm, ill find out in 5 days but... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> )
