Subject: I hate the Gauss Hog

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Adapt is the insurance policy of all arguments with fallacies.

The Guass Hog has no weakness other than weakish plating, and thats easily accounted for with a gunner that is smarter than a bottle of ketchup. Think you can stick it/EMP it? Sorry, you're dead before you even see. Your only hope against a good Guass is to throw yourselves at it in mass ,and once you finally kill it, you are already going to lose. Totally. Balanced.

And Exile even has the balls to give Blue Team the Guass for free. All of my wut?

If anything it's underpowered simply because of -blam!- spawning with stickies.

Not once did I ever mention that I stand still. This isn't my first Halo, I've been playing since CE was released. I can't stand when somebody just sits in the Gauss's gunner seat and gets long range kill after kill. It's unfair to have that much firepower at one's disposal, not to mention unlimited ammo. Not only that, but being in the gunner seat gives one more protection from incoming fire. Unless somebody has a power weapon or sniper (which is pretty much only available through ordnance drops now), the Gauss gunner is at an extreme advantage.


Maybe if you -blam!- a little louder (instead of you know... actually using the expansive set of weapons that make vehicles nearly useless that is currently in game) 343 may hear you from all the way over here on the Bungie forms.

If you are going to complain- at least have something to complain about other than lack of personal skill/luck...

Also:

Crouching and "laying on the ground" (if you can manage to do that- though in that case you are probably already dead) are also generally ill-avised when playing Halo.

I f***ing hate Exile, especially when I'm on Red Team. Blue Team gets too many vehicle advantages and the map design is boring.

Gauss's firepower needs to be nerfed in some way... reduced damage, increased cooldown/increased overheat, whatever. An EMP disables a Scorpion's main cannon, why not a Hog's guns?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what someone who doesn't understand proper teamwork looks like.

I agree OP. Always hated them.

  • 12.10.2012 2:50 PM PDT

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

No, the chain gun warthogs are useless in BTB. The gauss and rocket hog are the only ones that are actually any good. If an entire team can't take out one warthog when you can spawn with a plasma pistol and plasma nades, you deserve the to get destroyed by it.

Because all dem randoms are MLG Proz 1337, right? When I do play with a team we have to go through the trouble of starting an elaborate ambush, because "power weapons spawning at timed intervals would be unbalanced. And Guass Hogs for blue team, we need that too."

All I'm saying is the Guass Hog needs more weaknesses. Like someone suggested, the turret not working when Emp'd would be amazing.

You're accusing me of being bad at the game because I have valid reasons that a vehicle is overpowered? HA! My ToD is the Carbine with a spread of over 320 and I have a 1.55 KD. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing and lack skill. I don't do stupid stuff like shoot out in the open, stand still for long periods of time, or charge blindly at vehicles. You think an armored vehicle with unlimited ammo and rapid-fire instakill shots is fair? Whatever. I don't understand your reasoning for that. But other than the oh so cliche' "adapt" argument I don't see any valid points in your posts.

Also, why don't you tell all the fanboys complaining about H4 every goddam second to go over to Waypoint?

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

The Gauss Hog has been around since Halo 2. ADAPT.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

I'm going to go ahead and reveal my Gauss Hog secret.

Hard Light Shield blocks the shot...

I always thought it was H3. Didn't get LIVE until H3, so I'm unfamiliar with H2 online MM.

Typical b.net responses. You present a valid argument and all you get is "hurrdurr OP is bad adapt trololol".

OK. Fine. I'll say it again.

I'M WELL AWARE OF THIS.

But I refuse to rely on a crutch as a counter to a single vehicle.

If that's true, you had more insurance than Progressive back in the H3 days . . .

A decent find, thank you. That may help you get away, but it still doesn't help counter a good gunner. He will just wait for your shield to run out.

H2's Guass was built around a map called Headlong. The map's dedicated gametype was 1-Flag, and the Guass was given to the offenders. Not to mention the Guass could be shot from a anywhere at any time, as the map was very vertical, and the rockets in H2 locked onto ANY vehicle, so it had its fair share of weaknesses.

Nothing like the Exile scenario.

It blocks the shot. The GHog's biggest weakness is it's low rate of fire. This is a perfectly logical counter. If for whatever reason you don't want to use HLS, you deserve to die.
