<div class="IPBDescription">About the gorges</div> I've played lots of game where the marines were clearly the better team except the aliens had 5 gorges that would constantly heal the hive.

It's almost impossible to kill hive once they get 2 or 3 gorges, unless they are just stupid. I was thinking Flayra should implement a limit on gorges, maybe 1 or 2 whatever you guys think is balanced.

Anybody else think that thier needs to be a limit of gorges?

    if the aliens waste 5 guys on gorges, thats 5 less players stopping your forces...
    what you do is you kill the defenders, then kill the *nearly* defenceless gorges, then mutilate the hive

    Well I've been playing on some 10v10 servers and with a team of fades/onos/lerks and then some gorges, its really hard to win. I exaggerated when I said 5, usually they have like 3. But 3 gorges can easily keep a hive at 100% with some fades flying around.

    I don't know about that... Sounds like your marines had no grenade launchers.

    1 clip from a gl will vaporize out any number of gorges under the hive, instantly adding 3 players to the spawn cue. Gorges spawn back in away from the hive where they're easy targets for anything.

    I feel your pain from seeing the hive healed back up, but I think those alien teams were just dominating the marine teams.

    That's just what I was going to say. A few GLs can solve this problem pretty easily. If you're dealing with two gorges and an umbra lerk, it really is the easiest solution. GLs also solve any web issues.

    Gorge healing? No need when gorge use webs.. gorge shouldn't be in combat... they're too powerfull...
    Groups must be at least 10v10 before marines have any counter against webs (2 gl)

    and if u limit it 2 only two gorges

    lets say 2 persons stay gorge...
    then the rest of the team cant go lerk fade or anything
    as the 2 gorge only is limited... they have 2 stay skulk...

    Lol...GL is the only solution for the rines...it ain't no problem if the rine team has 4-5 GL spammers...then the aliens should be raped any time of the week...

    But it's not that difficult to remove the defenders in a hive...just rush in with 3-4 rines, and just spread out a bit...then have the rest of the team going in...do this right and you'll have a dead hive in an instant...

    Rines tend to clump together too much when in a hive...makes it easier for the defenders to take them out...
