Here is a Vortex gameplay that hel monkey mentioned from last weekend. This gameplay exemplifies a lot of what I think the hog will need to do in this game. What I like to do with the Hog since Reach is play support and respond to callouts. If possible, I like to funnel enemies into areas where my teammates can best deal with them. You really need to focus on reducing the angles enemies have on your gunner at a time, so that you gunner can pick people off. Patience also goes a long way. Learning to wait for an enemy to expose themselves is how we'll stay alive. Managed to pull off a solid win with 23 wheelmens here. (Please ignore the bad sniping)

The Gauss hog was just made a lot harder to use. There is little to no bullet magnetism anymore, as far as I can tell from the 3 or so games where I tried it out.

At first, I thought i just sucked, and was amazed at how much i was missing. And then I thought i had the worst gunner in the world. But then someone in a game mentioned that it was nerfed, and yes it was.

It will actually take skill to shoot now. Its kinda like trying to no scope people without the circle in the middle. Only thing that makes it slightly easier is that you dont have to hit the head, and the reticule isn't as stupid as the binary rifle's.

343 should just nerf the DMR now, and things will start looking a lot better!
