Subject: I hate the Gauss Hog

We're gonna fight, me and you. We know who's really right about this conversation. If you don't then let's think this through, with out fists. If that doesn't suit you, we can use pistols. How does this prove who's right?

Well, we both know I'll win, that's a damn fact.

I never deal with Gauss hogs. Only mantises and normal hogs, with the occasional mongoose.

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

OK. Fine. I'll say it again.

THE HARDLIGHT SHIELD ABSORBS THE GAUSS SHOT WITH ZERO DAMAGE YO YOU.


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.
It's actually quite effective if you've got good timing. Plus, while he's waiting for you to unshield, he's not focusing on somebody else. Two people with the PP, Stickies, and a HLS can work a GHog over fairly well.

Assuming you're fortunate enough to be on such a cooperative team and not a bunch of squeakers running around with ARs.

There's no way to get back experiences you missed.
So start right now today and risk furiousness for bliss.

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

This.

If you look at the Gauss Hog in previous Halos, you would see that the Halo 4 gauss is the most underpowered of them all.

Plus if your with a team you actually have hopes of maintaining the Scorpion anyway.

Halo 2's Headlong was built up with the idea of a Guass. This one appears thrown in at the last minute.

H4 Gauss:
>unlimited ammo
>extreme long range capabilities
>3 plasma sticks to destroy
>rapid fire
>insta-kill rounds
>gun still functional after EMP
>shots practically hit-scan

Yup, it's underpowered alright.

If you can't take down or evade a Gauss in Halo 4 then you just suck.

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:

I can't stand when somebody just sits in the Gauss's gunner seat

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.


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.


So your apparent inherent lack of ability to utilise the many anti-vehicular weapons in the game...has nothing to do with anything?

I still stand by my point that you do not know what you are doing- the gauss- like any other vehicle is rather simple to destroy (I'l give the mantis as being an exception).


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


Well, because we are not talking about them right now, eh?

The lack of on-map weapons combined with the extreme range of it's gun make it extremely difficult to take down solo. It's easier to take down a Mantis or Scorpion solo than a Gauss Hog.

Make yourself a loadout with the Plasma Pistol, 3 grenade upgrade recommending plasma grenades, maybe increase radius....and STFU already you baby.

-snip-


Let's see, 8 people per BTB team, roughly 3-4 power weapons per initial spawn. Yup, there's plenty of opportunity to grab one.

I never said that I lacked the intellect or skill to implement anti-vehicular weapons. Implying that I'm bad because I dislike the mechanics behind an overpowered weapon/vehicle is ridiculous. Unless you're fast or lucky, the only way you're going to get a power weapon is either finding one that was dropped or getting an ordnance drop (which are complete BS in my opinion). Also, in Exile, only Blue Team gets one. WTF? How is that fair by any means? If I was complaining about any other vehicle or weapon I'd understand, but I sincerely believe that I have valid reasoning to dislike the Gauss and see it as overtly overpowered.

Also, by your logic, I suppose you thought AL was fair and balanced as well?

  • 12.10.2012 3:22 PM PDT

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

On Exile I always rush for the Scorpion. It one hit kills the Hog.

OP, if you prefer to 'play on foot,' why do you play BTB, a vehicle oriented playlist?

Death to rank junkies.

Why the hell does red team not get a gauss? Sure they spawn a little closer to the scorpion, but a competent gauss crew can easily take out the reds that try to get to it. I've done it several times.
