Shotguns in Crucible
In Halo shotguns were found in only specific gamemodes because they were OP, and cheap. Yet Crucible allows you to have them in every gamemode, and it's literally the only weapon people run around with. In the past six games 90% of the kills were from shotguns, and 9% was from melee leaving %1 with actual skilled marksman kills.
I feel shotguns should be fixed a lot, the range is pretty far with them, as well as the fact that it's an instant kill, and provokes camping, and unfair gameplay. I've always hated shotguns in all Halo franchises, as well as any FPS for that matter. Not only do you allow them, but they are extremely over powered, and ammo is extremely common, and easy to get as well. If you all could fix this up, even the slightest it would be amazing. I'm not saying to take it out, but having an 'MLG' gamemode like you had in the Halo series, or at the very least lowering the damage, and range of it a lot would be magnificent.

2 RepliesThey need to tone down the amount of special ammo period. Seems like everytime I turn a corner I'm getting a shotgun to the face, or being sniped from afar. Throw that in with the ridiculous amount of abilities, and you die faster than you do in COD. The blinking Bladedancer hunter is especially overpowered. The PvP was fun until everyone got to max level. Now the absurd amount of abilities turned the PvP into nothing but a one hit kill fest. And if you think I'm bad or don't understand the game I'm not and I do understand. Any noob can run around and get kills sliding with a shotgun.

I agree, and argument that shotguns are for close combat, so it's ok, is invalid. Shotguns in crucible are OP and it's a fact. If they weren't people wouldn't be using them in EVERY SINGLE GAME. For me solution is quite simple. Nerf them to point where they aren't one shot killing everything in front of a shooter. The point of balance is to encourage players to use every possible loadout, to use its advantages againts disadvantages of different ones. Kinda like rock, paper, scissors. Would you like to play rock, paper, shotgun? I think that variety is the key element of multiplayer games, and having one weapon type more beneficial than all the others is actually taking that variety away, and causing game to quickly get boring.

I've been killed rediculously far from a shotgun and that's what 95% of kids use. I recently started using a fusion rifle and it helps some what but the shotguns still need a huge nerf.

Edited by SENORL1MP1O: 9/17/2014 3:47:35 PMShotguns are not OP. I had a match of Rumble where almost the whole lobby was running shotties, and I laughed as I wrecked all of them with my hand cannon. I didn't let any of them get close to me (I had them come to me, I didn't chase them), and I headshotted them at range and as they were trying to run up to me to close the gap. Shotties are easy to counter, just don't get close to anyone and always have range between you and your opponent. Shotguns aren't good at all past point blank range, and chances are the person running a shotty won't have a chance to counter you with their primary if you catch them at range. Fusion rifles on the other hand, need a nerf. f' those guns! Edit: oh, and someone's camping in a small room with a shotty? Flush them out with a grenade and stand back (in case they try immediately running out of the room to catch you off guard), wait for them to come out or move into your view, and finish them.

1 ReplyShotguns arent nearly as bad as fusion rifles
-
This isn't halo you morons.
-
I always use hand cannons switch out to a sniper sometimes
-
1 ReplyIt's not a instinct kill. Takes two shots to kill if close. Sometimes u can get a one shot kill but only if you have good aiming and hit the head. Shotguns ain't op they suppose to be good up close. That's why it's a shotgun
-
If you can't deal with a shotgun then you must need practice. They are easy to beat
-
1 ReplyI think nobody should start with special ammo. It should spawn in fewer places and less often. It's called a "special" weapon but ammo is so easy to get, it doesn't make it very special. The noobs sprinting around with shotguns are easy to take down with a few headshots. The fusion rifles are easy to avoid with strafing. Snipers are only good on big maps and all you gotta do is hide and mount up and get close to them.

I'm glad this is not halo. Also, my fusion rifle stomps shotguns.

My shoulder > shotgun Joking aside, considering how close you have to be for a OSK, I don't have a problem with shotguns.

Edited by abelsinh: 9/11/2014 11:00:33 PMI have a legendary shotgun and I love to bring death with it.

ammo is the same as any other special weapon - also not overpowered if you get shot close range with shotgun you die end of discussion.
