2. Honestly, though, while carrying a Warthog's chain gun around would be nice, that's not what I really care about. You know what I'm REALLY interested in? Detaching the Gauss cannons. Duuuude. Driving to the other team's base in a full Warthog, detaching the cannon, bursting into the other team's base with a Gauss in-hand and blowing them all away so a teammate can snag the flag? Priceless. That is an extremely arousing thought. Or using it on defense? "Oh, you're coming for our flag with a shotgun? I don't think so." BLAM. I have a feeling that I'm going to LOVE the amped-up firepower in this game.
To tell ya the truth, I would hope, that if you could detach the guass cannon, it would take 2 players, because otherwise, it would be a little too advantageous.
Not really. There's a significant trade-off in that, while you're running around with a clunky-but-powerful Gauss cannon in-hand, there's also a Warthog driving around with virtually no means of self-defense. And I'd be willing to bet that a new Warthog won't respawn until you drop the cannon. (I mean, otherwise you could have an entire team walking around with Gauss turrets. A cool/scary thought, but not balanced at all.) Besides, walking around with a Gauss isn't that much different than driving around with a Gauss cannon, except that you're (most likely) moving slower. Carrying a cannon has its distinct advantages, but I would think there'd be some significantly negative trade-offs.
