I'm just curious, but what are all of you people who rush/spam with Gauss going to do when this new update takes effect? Will you actually come up with a strategy and win or will you be rendered useless and thus quit playing? Oh, and before you let what I said hit a nerve and say something not nice please do some research, in other words, don't make yourself look IGNORANT. I already have a low regard for Warthog spammers as it is, don't tarnish your "reputation" further. Thank you...

My name is Legion, for we are many...

And out of the smoke, Locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth...

I will continue to do exactly what i do and rape everyone. except for the occasional decent player that sometimes beats me. 

 

BTW your the who is making yourself look ignorant and stupid by assuming anyone who gauss rushes only knows how to do that. I think you're a little to full of yourself and are upset that people can do it better than you or that you let them get to gauss. 

Dude the update doesn't make gauss spam horrible/unusable. It makes it balanced so it can be countered by what should counter it (i.e. cobras,scorpions,hunters). It also slows it down a bit but all that means is you need to get reserves sooner.

Actually, the update doesn't change much. Before I start, I only play Covenant, so I don't use 'Hogs, but even I can tell this.

Gauss still does epic building damage. They will avoid your units using their superior mobility, and destroy your base whilst you are away. If you come after them, they will retreat, rinse and repeat.

Gauss will still probably be a problem. It may be less potent, ans some strategise may have to adapt, but it'll still be powerful.

I think the patch will have a huge affect on guass spamming but at the same time people will continue to spam it because it remains very efficient.

The biggest fix in the patch was closing the 100% recycle exploit. But because guass hogs are so good, people will still do it for 50% cash back, which is enough to keep the production going.

It will just be a little harder to spam successfully, a little easier to counter. But don't counter with cobras mind you, cobras took a nerf and hogs a buff when grenades are better against medium armor.

 

 

yep but i think the warthogs are still going to be used i don't really use em anyway but less people will be using them thats just wats goin to happen

I do believe they mentioned only the Grenade/Plasma Grenade/ RPG Y-ability damage is getting increased, not all grenades.

Greande on the hog is the same grenade infantry use. They are all the same.

 I'm not 100% but I remember them saying they are two completely different things, and that Hogs and Wolverines will not be affected.

i dnt think the new update will really stop the warthog rushers but it will slow them down by 3 seconds a unit wich is not good enough

i think that they should make it so you have to put a marine on the turret/gauss in order for the turret/gauss to be opperated

that way the have to build the baracks and thay have to wait for the unit to come out and you have to wait to upgrade

i think that will slow it down by alot

That's a horrible idea, 3 seconds a hog is good enough for you to make some counters, and the marine idea sounds dumb.

Not only would they have to code some extra mechanics into the game, it would make UNSC completely useless when it comes to early defence against Covenant.

A hunter rush at 3 minutes would destroy a warthog attempt.  Plus 20 warthogs will be 1 minute extra time.  That's a long time. . . .

Obama Health is garbage

All this talk about how patch 3 is going to affect the warthog rush.. you guys are overlooking the REAL problem here;

-Players no longer receive points for team killing.

WHAT THE HELL! Whats the point of playing prophet if you can't rank up points at the end of the game by beaming down your teamies ODST? This warthog nerf is just a smoke screen for the real unbalancing.

The hog rush isnt going to be affected, and i dont think guass spam will stop completely.
