<div class="IPBDescription">Yes, once again...</div> this works in big servers only and when everyone agrees to rush.
everyone in aliens gorges. (1~2 skulk is fine or none the best) drop 3 mc in hive.
everyone gets adrenline
wait for everyone and head towards marine base, keep healing
in marine base, DROP AS MUCH OC AS POSSILE and KEEP healing
i have seen so much time it screws marines, even the best teams and clanners, as they all rush out for rts and failed to get back to base. and it works best when starting with AE35 of bast or cargo of nothing
try it!

"Grab the shotty and kill that phatty train!"
"Fiiiiine."
Even with a team of gorges healspraying, the shotgun can effectively destroy a gorgerush. one, two shotgun shells max will have a dead gorge, with or without healspray, not to mention you have about 3 shooting you (assuming that the comm spent starting res effectively and shouldn't have alot for shotguns.
This was viable in 2.0 where healspray had a much larger radius, so you could snipe someone from healspray some 5 meteres away, yet heal your gorgebuddy at the same time.
A few sgs and you're dead, then they rush your hive and you've lost.
But it's funny in combat. Some time ago I got 7/9 people of my team to evolve to gorge. The marines were screwed, LMG is almost useless, you can heal the hive almost instantly and if you have some webgorges... >:).
They couldn't kill us even with HA/JP and 4 GLs.
I ordered my marines to just go straight to their only RT and destroy it. Then I relocated next to that destroyed RT. I just went around capping nodes like normal till I could afford to siege it.
They were out capping nodes, and I couldn't afford to drop comm chairs to distract the OC's.
I've never seen this strategy win. But it sounds like it could kill a bunch of armory humpers.
Otherwise you're screwed. Probably while you're still laughing.
in korea servers having 26 players 13vs13 games, highly skilled. everyone rushes for rts. and marines are always screwed up with gorges, when 1~2 gorges death are negegible. i see this happens almost-everyday
nsKorea has CD enabled and it won't let me play with all my altered stuff. :(
Gorge rush HAHAHAH <3 ::gorge::

exactly, it works well in 2.01 as an effective strategy under certain conditions.
and thats why when it DOES work its so rewarding
In general I won in gorgerush-matches several times, also lost a view times.
60% / 40% I would say.
When gorges come in, half of the team is out and the com has only money to drop like 2 SG's, rines often die of healspray already just after panicly fireing down 2 OC's that gave a bit of cover for the gorges, or while jumping over the OC's to get to the gorges... they need to get close, otherwise SG's don't do enough damage. But they die before they get a good shot on them.
Relocating rines at hive when they notice base is lost, moving faster then the bunch of gorges, can be dangerous. But if a 2nd or 3rd RT is build on the way to the base, it's often not that bad. On the other hand, it will cut down the number of OCs to drop in the rines base when arriving there..

Anyway - GORGE RUSH IS FUN !
Eather you loose and look like the worst fool ever, or you make the rine team look totaly retarded. Always reminds me a bit of the good old brabbler-spawning 1.04 fun-days.. :c)
Iv`e conducter one or two succesful gorge rushes in 3.0 and everytime hardly kept myself playing because of too much laughter <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Lets say that its a bit more viable than it was before.
Serious, this was a 1.04 thing. I did it a few times in 2.0 but it was alot harder.
