Gorg Rush As A Viable Strategy

DanDaMan

Okay, I was just playing 5 minutes ago, and the aliens had just gotton a 10 second victory over the marines with a skulk rush. So we're all feeling cocky and after someone decided to have 2 gorgs, everyone decided to go gorg. THe result was a team of 9 gorgs 1 or 2 skulks. And the thing was that it worked too. At this time we had only one res up, so res was comming in pretty slow. But a mob of gorgs madly healing eachohter is hard to stop. Waltzed right into the marine base. And soon we had chambers everywhere and almost all of the res points. We took the marine base, but they moved to a hive. And eventually the game settled down into the normal 1 or 2 gorgs building. We got up to 2 hives eventually and then later lost them and i got disconnected from teh server. Now to hear everyone tell me how this strategy would never work against good marines ;-)

The Gorge rush has <b>always</b> worked every time I've seen it done. We did it in mid-game once - the resources were nearly unlimited in the hive pool, and we managed to rip down the marine start with OC's and healspray in about 90 seconds.

They had two of our hives on Eclipse, so we decided to Gorge rush the Computer Core too. Within a span of about 5 minutes, we <i>completely</i> turned the tide of the game.

Last night I was only gorge, and we kept them held in the spawn room at nancy. I took 4 nodes, then both hives, then every other node. We all laughed and opted to go all gorge. So we babblered them to death. No oc's and just one lerk who didnt want to join the festivities. Ive never seen babblers ever used really, and now ive seen my fill. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
