Offensive Web

JackBoCracken

<div class="IPBDescription">oh lordy</div> I know that the gorge it supposedly always busy running around and repairing or adding to defenses, but sometimes when you're trying to push in one direction, a gorge'll be there with maybe a skulk or two.

Everyone always aims for the gorge first (cause of the healing abilities) so one or two of the four or so marines inevitably die from the skulks/lerks/fades/whatever was next to the gorge at the time.

And then comes the the web.

Instead of healing, the gorge spams web, flinging it in the direction of the marines. If the little green balls with the strings touch you, you're good as dead--the gorge is free to keep webbing you indefinitely, or worse, spamming some more web and then plopping down some offensive towers on top of you, so you're stuck permanently until you die.

It's really quite annoying.

But seriously....I dont understand what you are getting at JBC. Are you just ranting? Are you saying that web needs being changed? Just what are you saying?

Shouldn't be able to indefinitely hold 2+ marines webbed.

their fault for getting webbed lol

if a gorge manages to web em both before dieing, well HA sucks to be em

Plus the fact that gorges can take what I guess to be twice as many hits as a skulk, when the gorge is all fat and squishy and a non-combatant...

I prefer a web/babbler combo, but that's good for when you only have two hives.

Three hives, actually. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

The tower is diabolical. Nice idea.

Nothing I enjoy more than dodging web and offense towers, and deflating a gorge with a knife.

An alien team I played with recently all went gorge for the final offensive. (for fun, not effectiveness). Was quite funny, the number of babblers 7 gorges can spew into one room. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Drop a skulk or two in there.

By the time the gorge has babblers, the skulk has xenocide. The meat-pops won't know who's going to blow up next.
