Gauss hog TU was a mistake?

Okay I keep hearing about how to gauss has been nerfed in the recent TU, so I looked up what they did to it?

*Reduced magnetism, aim assist and damage of the gauss gun

Here we have two major problems:

  • 343 were correct in nerfing the aim assist and magnetism, but from what i’m hearing it has next to none now. Which is bad, because the whole point of AA and BM is to compensate for lag, something which Halo 4 BTB does a lot.

But nerf the damage??? WHY??? You might as well stick a peashooter on the back if you nerf the damage of the gauss gun. It is supposed to be a powerful gun, so why nerf the damage.
So, 343 were right in nerfing the AA and BM, but you need a balance where you still have enough AA and BM to counter the lag. No need to adjust the damage though…

  • If you’ll nerf the AA and BM for a gauss gun, then why haven’t you done it for other weapons, especially the sniper and DMR…???
    Speaks for itself there…

You know there’s a 3-page Gauss nerf discussion not even halfway down the front page of Matchmaking.
