Just wondering, it seems like the regular hog can't stand up to the other weapons/vehicles on that map.

It would seem unfair, Also I don't know any MM Maps with it

Better luck next time buddy.

I spoke to God today. He said trust in Him. All others pay cash

I wish there were more gauss hogs in match making. i think there really cool, probably a little over powered, but still really cool =)

It wouldn't be unfair both teams have rockets, and tanks, or the laser in the middle. I love to warthog turret, but on Avalanche heavy there really is no point, I just get destroyed.
Edit: Post above me, they could take out the regular hog, or the prowler, I hardly see either get used.

Think of the spawn points though. Rocket spawn, outside base spawn, keyhole spawn, inside base spawn.

One person inside the base could force spawn the entire team outside, and a gauss hog is incredibly over-powered with its quick firing action, and one-hit KOs.

It would be almost as bad as Standoff Heavy.

You have to aim and be accurate at distances with the gauss. It takes skill believe it or not, because I know how to snipe with it, and I always win a gauss vs gauss battle. Also they could add lasers or rockets inside the base.

I played a Customs of Avalanche Heavy with a added Gauss, No fun since we were spawn trapped

There is a starting laser in the base. However, the spawn point can be forced so nobody spawns in the base if somebody from the other team is inside of it. A gauss hog parked up on their Sniper spawn could spawn kill anyone on keyhole, and anyone who spawns on left side vehicles. The Scorpion tank would be spawn killing right side, and the rest of the people could be controlling camo-spawn and using a hornet to ensure not to much can be done from Rockets.

In theory, it would make the perfect spawn trap; even better than having both tanks, because this way their is less lag, and the gauss is MUCH more accurate.

How often would that happen? One team would have to be getting completely destroyed.

Don't forget that it would be just a matter of time before you had 2 gauss hogs making the trap even worse for the other team (just like Standoff).

Everytime really, One team will dominate the other depending on each team's play

Well you do make a good point, I guess it would be to overpowered, I just wish the regular hog wouldn't get dominated so easily on Avalanche heavy.

Call me Cliff.

I wish the plasma pistol had more range so that you can stun more vehicles from a longer range, that would be nice. Oh, please check out my more button link here>>>---------------------------^^^
