I thought I did pretty good this match but still got owned im wondering if going for guass as forge vs POR on BG is a good idea it only gets me CLOSE to winning and I cant get hornets up quick enough to help my hogs. anyway any advice?

probably should not go hornet, going tanks and flamers is probably good and you should try.

its really easy for covenant to get tech 2 so you should hog harras and then probably stop at grenadier unless hes not making hog counters, you should be able to force 2 turrets on his base then use your hogs for hook control and base harrasment if he only has 2 turrets when you get grenadier.

then tech oxide if he goes hall and tanks if he get factory. you should be able to out produce him to win.

I didn't start the flame war.

your eco was crap cause you deleted your barracks and once i took out your supply hook you couldnt get it back, also dont go straight for gauss, it's nice but it isnt necessary that early, (you had an airpad up before you had fortress which also killed your eco)

probably eco. problems stud, if loboz said you had a an AP up before fortress, that probably killed your eco, although, if was a good try=)

if your going gauss as forge vs a PoR make sure you have some flamers so if your gauss attack fails and the PoR attacks, you have some sort of a defense against him..  idk though, im only a level 28.. but as forge vs PoR i get tanks with cannister but start of with flamers first to stop a possible early PoR rush.

i agree. Ive only used gauss hogs once... i find them to be unreliable especially when playing against good players who know what to counter them with.

don't go gauss too willingly as forge, it cost a bit more than you want and you don't need many hogs once tech 3 is there.

800 for gauss is a bit much, tanks or hornets tech 3 and move away from the gauss. you can still put in grenadier hogs, they do well enough and are great building damage.

against prophet, its good to get tanks out and rolling while keeping control of your half of the map, if you can push him back, you will probably win so just be on defencive but still keep at least a good chunk of map control. just make sure he doesn't go flying, it gets really annoying as unsc if he pulls that off but you should be able to keep his units down and stop him from teching that much.

it was the hornets that beat me :(

btw does anyone know the best way to deal with hornets + hogs on barrens as prophet, so far i try rushing early with hunters/wraiths and prevent the 7th building from going up and just ignore the hooks. once that attack fails im screwed though, i was thinking that going for their reacter first and getting tech 2 hunters and pumping out vampires would work against hornets + hogs (i usually lose cause i cant hold a reacter long enough to get any vampires out, i tried ghosts, but...)

im not sure...when i play against brutes and prophets i usually do a mega gauss spam and force them to go double factory if they go hunters thats usually an insta-win for me  because they are to slow, and if they single pump them then they wont have enough

really your scrued on that map vs a good UNSC, but try to maintain hook control, i would say tech your eco and dont rush them while getting the hooks. i really wouldnt know though, as i dont play covie in 1v1 enough

tech 2 hunters arent that bad at taking out single pumped gauss especially cause that map has alot of chokepoints. i'm gonna have to figure out what i should do on that map, rush or get tech 2 upgrades and then attack =/
