<div class="IPBDescription">The ultimate alien</div>The ultimate "combat engineer" can:
1. Not build buildings
2. Barely heal
3. Slowly have his abilities taken and given to other structures and life forms for no reason

So, I think it's about time we just removed him from the game.

Fade can place cysts, skulk can spit, and... well, that's about all gorge does.

    I agree. But what is even worse is how nerfed heavy armour or the "exo suit" has become. It has no additional armour, no new guns, doesn't do any more damage than a normal marine. It can't even be acquired FFS!

    Really dropping the ball here

    Yea, beating a dead horse, it's a pity they decided to hit the gorge so badly without first implementing the various new toys they are giving him. Just be patient, I bet the gorge will again be a very fun and interesting lifeform to play soonish.

    I understand (I think?) that you're referring to the gorge's upcoming panacea 'builder role', but a lot of people enjoyed the game as it was and don't see the need for the gorge being redesigned from scratch.

    ? The exo suit has miniguns. Unless you're being sarcastic there, too.

    But a beta includes such changes... Or would you still wan't the old old old Fade blink back because you enjoied it?
    The Gorge will get goo walls, green walls that absorb 3.5 mags of lmg fire and slows marines extremly down if they step in.
    Also the gorge will get 2 other toys soonish, maybe those things will be ultra mega super duper cool and you really like it, but you will never know it if you don't try out new things. If its bad no problem roll back to the old code for version 1.0.

    They always try to do things better even if its perfect but alternatings between all clases beside all the other things are also done. So maybe the gorge doesn't play well in 200-203 because either there were more important things (1000s of manhours), beside the things they also do in freetime for NS2, or the new system is still in testing and some bugs hinder the devs to release it for some builds.

    If you wan't to see the goowall, create a game, cheats 1, joine aliens, give goowall in console, rr, join marines test it out. It is important to be in the enemy team, because if you drop it as alien it won't slow you down or ignores hydra spikes.

    The gorge is going to be receiving new abilities eventually.

    Although, in it's current stage I'd have to agree -- he is almost useless.

    This. Goowall sounds like a delight to use for trolling - im actually pretty excited for this.

    My only concern is that UWE's stated role of combat engineer/medic seems to be heading in the direction of more 'engineer', less 'medic', and no 'combat'

    Goowall is too cliché. I propose a name change to Jizzwall. It's what I'll be calling it anyway :D

    I think a lot of people will just settle into calling it slime, personally. Goo seems a bit too vowel-heavy.

    i posted a suggestion a while ago that the gorge should be able to "eat" chambers and then vomit them back out elsewhere (so gorges could move crags/shades/etc around). i still think that's a good idea and would add a great deal of versatility to the gorge. the one problem i think is that gorges might not be as fun to play if they are slowed down any further.
