It’s been a while since I’ve played original Halo 2 but it seems that the Gauss Hog is now significantly weaker in multiplayer. I’ve had multiple instances of firing repeatedly at vehicles and it doesn’t seem to do any damage. I’ve been able to kill players after a few shots however. One instance of two gauss hogs sitting still firing at each other until we decided that it just wasn’t working so we got out. We also had an issue during that game with the tanks not causing damage to vehicles.
Good. That thing was severely overpowered for how mobile it is.
I’ve not been able to get too many matches, but the couple of H2 matches I’ve had all had significant hit registry issues. Once I melee’d a guy three times in the back to no avail, only to have him turn around and kill me with one punch.
And even though the game went the distance (they won because we couldn’t hit anything), it still registered as “incomplete” in the post-game carnage report.
I have been seeing this issue a lot plus I don’t like the H2A gauss hog that ramp up time before shots ruined the feel of the classic hog. I get that the hog was over powered but they were super easy to take out simple plasma pistol and stickies.
Even some snipe head shots are registering as body shots. This might be a latency issue or it might not but hopefully when or if this game gets cleaned up running at the top of it potential game we will see if that changes
