Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

Gauss hog should die and be replaced with a rocket hog (mind you, not specifically the rocket hog from Halo CE, but a warthog that fires rockets. Slow moving rockets, that are possible for infantry to dodge [unlike the guass hog] but still is able to take down heavy vehicles easily and light vehicles. So it doesn't make the warthog redundant)
Laser 'Hog!
And just so you know, rockets are tougher than Gauss rounds.
Not if the splash damage is somewhere between a missle pod and a normal rocket launcher. As it is, the gauss hog is an unbalanced vehicle that should never have seen the light of day in multiplayer.
With a rocket hog, at least I would be able to see the rocket and be able to dodge it if they fire it at me from across the map. The same can't be said for the gauss hog. If you have played Standoff Heavy on the losing team, you will know what I mean. You can't even make it to your base before getting killed.
But if a Gauss shot misses you it will not kill you, it has practically no splash damage. And it still takes at least two (more likely three) shots to kill anything more resilient than a Mongoose.
Gauss 'Hogs are quite balanced on the maps in which they appear (all of which have at least two Sp'lasers by the way).
