It actually does. Dont say no unless you have proof. To be specific some dont and some do, there are 2 variations.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Jaime did talk about adding it, but it was not in the E3 build.

If in the final game there is a version with heat sinking rockets than like here, it says there are 2 variations, 1 is for anti-aircraft (heat/motion seeking) read the hole thing on the LAAV.

You will see. Here are some semi-facts.
1. It looks the exact same same as a Rocket Launcher Warthog. (Bungie isnt stupid)
2. It sounds the exact same as a Rocket Launcher Warthog. (again Bungie isnt stupid)
3. There has been no info about the Gauss Warthog from Bungie.
4. It can take out a Ghost in 1 easy hit, a Creep in about 4, and who knows about other vehicles. But if the Creep is full in MP then it will be useless if theres a gauss hog and probably most other vehicles. #4 means its overpowered.

everyone who answered this is just pulling the answer from there butt. bungie hasn't said yet and no one who has played the E3 build has mentioned it either. so we just don't know yet. personally i think that if the handheld rocket launcher can track than the warthog rocket launcher should too. the same condition should apply to the warthog rocket though. you must keep the target painted for it to track.

joyride studio has a gauss hog as one of their halo 2 models. i take that as a pretty good indication that it will be in halo 2.

You can't judge damage from that video because:
1: You don't get infinite health
2: Brutes don't die in three shots
3:The enemies ran around like idiots
4:That level won't even look at all like that in the final game.

None of that proves anything.
1. they don't look completely the same. The GR barrel is thinner and shorter.
2. The GR has a high sounding pitch and its explosion sound is different
3. There hasn't been info on the tank, pistol, Covie SR, or Shotgun.
4. You can always make things weaker.

So you are saying that joyride studio is going to sell models of gauss rifle warthogs they have marked as halo 2 that aren't actually going to be in the game? I think not...
