<div class="IPBDescription">wtf</div> The energy required to web or the strength of the web or something needs to be changed here. Web spamming gorges are really lame, especially when you run around the corner and come face to face with one, who repeatingly webs you to the point you can’t move an inch and some other alien finishes you off.
It’s even worse when they spam all the hallways with web and your commander doesn’t seem to understand you need a welder to break them. The webs should web up aliens too.

You'll see one Skulk kill three Marines almost every game...I don't think I've ever seen one Marine kill three Skulks.
as for webbing, if it weren't for webbing, gorges would be TOAST midgame. It's the ultimate in HMG/HA stopping <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I have. Many times.

Ok, no offense but HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED WITH SKILLED MARINES BEFORE???
jeez, we played DW today, 1 MARINE TOOK OUT 6 SKULKS IN A RUSH.
btw DW are the top clan in clanbase.
It just shows it can be easily done, also I have killed loads of skulks many times.
Think about it, what kind of chance do skulks have at range, none. If a skulk gets near you, you deserve to die, cos they shouldn't.
Besides it actually SAYS IN THE MANUAL aliens are individually stronger than a lone marine, it the point of the game.
2 marines(good aim) guarding spawn(say ns_eclipse) aliens(6 of em) come through the doors, the amrines should easily be able to kill all of the skulks before they get 3/4 of the way to the CC.
On the point of the topic, webbing OR adren should NOT be nerfed, cos how many marines do you see taken out by gorges? 1-3 a game?
Just because you were in HA with a HMG, going rambo on a hive, and a good and clever gorge webbed you and killed you, it don't mean the game should be changed, in CWs marines are NEVER seperate(unless ordered/part of the plan).
This is the way the game is designed to be played, live with it.
Webbing Spam = Teh Suck.
The simple solution is to either:
a) Make each web cost an entire power bar, if defending the Gorge will just have to spend more time webbing. Offensivly however, it won't allow them to do more then web in order to escape.
b) Put in an immunity timer, after somone is webbed make them immune to it for 2-3 seconds after. Enough time to cap a Gorge if they don't run for it.
This is the time when both teams are supposed to reach midgame, although I do sort of agree with what's been said already about aliens reaching their "midgame" earlier than marines.
Supposedly as I've interpreted it, by the time aliens have their 2nd hive and thus fades, marines should have HA and HMGs, although in practice this seems to be rarely the case for the marines.
On the same topic though, when you do have a battle of fades vs. marines in HA with HMGs, my recommendation is to get that pudgy lil gorge into the fray and webbing. A force consisting of two fades, a lerk, and a gorge are unstoppable =)

i think this idea is v.good cus if theres corridors upon corridors of web spam, a marine can get caught by one and then make a legger thru a few before he gets copped again.
And on the "multi-kill" issue; my friend took out 3 skulks with knife in a scrim...
Lesson1: do not blindly walk around without checking floors/walls for webs
Lesson2: have a friend nearby so you have a chance of surving
Apparently you dont' play on aliens much or you would know how vital webs are to a gorge.
Look at it this way, a gorge basicly moves a tad bit slower than a lvl1 marine, has a weapon that does as much damage as a pistol(bit more)
but can shoot at same rate as shotty, maybe a bit slower.
So you should see that webs are for survival VS lvl2+marines.
Also you seem to be saying that since webs are a defense weapon that they shoudn't be allowed to use them offensivly, in that case
the welder shoulndt be able to hurt alien structures as it is meant for repairs.
Play both sides before you call for a balance change
just my 2cents
and BTW i've killed many an aliens as marine(skulk and fade)
Webs, are, fine. At least I have had no problems with them.
If a gorge webs and kills me (never had this happen yet) then so what, it's the next level up from a skulk AND has to do all the building work. I think it deserves some defence!
Play aliens for once.
If there is web spam everywhere you should simply cut it and be content in the knowledge that the webs aren't elsewhere where they could be doing some good for the alien defence.
And why isn't anyone complaining about Onos paralyze. It does the same thing. Plenty of times have I sat around as an Onos at the endgame and simply paralyzed the marines, hur hur hur. Guess when you see an Onos you expect to die.
yep

it takes one marine to kill 3 aliens
seriously, learn how to aim
And yet, that is why there are these:
<b>1.) Max Webbing amount at an area
2.) Max webbing amount for the whole alien team</b>
IMHO whoever is complaining about webbing is just because they rambo off or because they haven't though hard enough how to counter such tactic
Cforrester and Comprox had said everything I wanted to say really.
Webs are fine and is a good defensive weapon for gorge. I mean, hell, these poor things have to protect themselves too.
