I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.

you know what's really annoying? boarding a wraith from the front and getting killed because the driver can still fire their mortar.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

Remove the Gauss Hog from MM! It has the accuracy of a sniper, the power of a rocket, is rapid fire, has unlimited ammo, and can take 3 plasma grenades to take out. It's too powerful to be in MM. I'd rather fight off a Scorpion or Wraith than a Gauss Hog.

Anyone agree?


The accuracy can make it harder to use, if you don't have a good driver.

It's not even close to rapid fire.

It only take 2 plasma grenades. If you actually hit the vehicle.

It's only OP if you suck at the game.

But yeah, I would rather fight the scorpion or Wraith, but that's because they kind of suck.

No, I don't agree.

It's been the same since it was introduced to Halo... why change something that works fine? In Halo 4 it loads slower now...

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

If it fires rapidly, then I am an astronaut. Also, every vehicle has unlimited ammo. Also, the tank and other vehicles take more than three grenades to take out, right?
If you don't like it, play in playlists that don't have it.

OP didn't ever play Standoff Heavies.
You mean the greatest Halo map in the history of time?

I miss it so.

Nothing wrong with the gauss hog, it takes teamwork to use effectively and teamwork to take down effectively, so if you can't kill/use it, that's yours/your team mates' problem not the vehicle's. I do NOT however like the map it's on, WAY too cluttered. It was almost like they wanted to see just how many vehicles they could fit on the map, hogs and ghosts would be fine but throwing in a banshee and scorpion just make it a cluster -blam!-. The map is just not spacey enough to fit all the the armor. Also, why the hell would you put the guass hog on one team's side of the map, but put NOTHING of comparable effectiveness on the other team's side!? It makes no sense!

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

Because BTB maps > 4v4 maps
But they're all BTB maps.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Did you think warthogs were OP in Halo 3?

If H4 didn't have static spawns then I wouldn't have a problem with the Gauss. I've had so many games where the enemy team would just camp our spawn and get like 30+ kills with the gauss. -blam!- blows.

There's no way to get back experiences you missed.

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.


H4 Gauss:
>unlimited ammo

Has always had unlimited ammo.

>extreme long range capabilities

Always been like that

>3 plasma sticks to destroy

Not true, Worthogs take 2 stickies to kill

>rapid fire

What were you saying
about rapid fire?


>insta-kill rounds

Refer to video above

>gun still functional after EMP

The other Worthog is like that too

>shots practically hit-scan

That's pretty much how every weapon in Halo is.

Yup, it's underpowered alright.

In comparison to the previous Gauss Hogs, Halo 4's Gauss is very underpowered. It's recycle rate is so slow that it's pretty easy to avoid/hide from.

Let's all just be happy! Doesn't that sound like fun?

Yay!

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.

I'm very sorry, but I can't read that without having to argue.

Yes, it has unlimited ammo. It's a vehicle, in Halo. That's how it works. Yes, it has long range capabilities. Yes, it has insta-kill rounds. And yes, the gun stil works after being EMP'd. But in NO WAY do the shots practically hitscan. The Gauss Hog's shots travel fast, but there is a definite gap after the shot being fired and it hitting it's target.

Also, not to mention, the Gauss Hog's 'rapid fire' is a joke compared to previous Halo's. It used to shoot about twice as fast and then it was a truly devastating anti-vehicle weapon. Which is exactly what it is. If a gunner is actually going after infantry after infantry, they'll be an easy target for a quick hit from a Banshee or a Scorpion which most, if not all, gunners will usually starting shooting at, if they are still alive. And when they are distracted by this? Now is when you throw a grenade at them.

Also, if you are on a team of cowards who won't give you this chance? There are lots of ways to easily disable/destroy a Gauss Hog.

Already mentioned, a Hardlight Shield can absorb a shot from the Gauss Hog. If you time it right, you can get pretty close to a Gauss Hog, and if you duck behind cover close enough to it which is safe, they'll be distracted enough that you can sneak in a grenade or two, or your team will probably have that one guy that keeps charging with no right or reason at vehicles, and would get those grenades instead.

Or, just be resourceful. You seem to be the expert on how fast the Gauss Hog fires. Just make an erratic movement right as the person is about to fire, and get in your grenades when you're comfortable with the distance.

Also, just because it takes three grenades to actually destroy it? Takes two that go off around the same time (quickly throw two grenades at about the same location) and the warthog is flipped, or on it's hind wheels for a couple second, and you can probably shoot at it with your main weapon to flip it completely.

Or, in other words...

Adapt.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

It's also -blam!- broken, I die before the shell even fire/hits me.

  • 12.10.2012 6:28 PM PDT

It really is overpowered. On Exile, you can camp that thing by the giant wall in the corner and kill anything in sight. With that, the scorpion, and the banshee on one team, you're completely unstoppable.
