Titan Shields and Shotgun

I mean, is this shit even supposed to be relatively balanced? I've been playing The Crucible even though it's INCREDIBLY unbalanced, and I've been playing some of the gametypes where you control specific points. What I've encountered in almost every single one of these games is a Titan character that gets to the control point, and puts up a shield, only to stand there with a Shotgun, which is overpowered in it's own right (I'll get into that later), and pretty much have no worries whatsoever, because his/her opponents don't stand a chance. All I can do is literally sit there and watch them rack up points. This is especially terrible in the gametype where you control the probe things. The Shotguns in this game are simply OP. It seems like EVERYONE has one, and they just sprint, slide, and basically a hit anywhere kills. [b]WHY ARE THESE IN THE GAME IF FUSION RIFLES EXIST?![/b] Aren't they basically just Shotguns you have to charge? Let me get this straight; there's a Shotgun (Fusion) that you have to charge before firing that doesn't always give you a one-hit kill, and there's a Shotgun that you [i]don't[/i] have to charge, which pretty much always kills in one hit... Shotguns should literally be removed completely, and Fusion Rifles should be the replacement. These are just a few things I've been thinking about since the release, and it's really the first time I've voiced any of it. I mean, there's so much more wrong with The Crucible, it's overly frustrating to even play it. Joining games where you're going to lose no matter what and have a 2 v 3 situation, maps being too big and catering to campers with Snipers, Bladedancer Hunter being impossible to kill in many situations, the list goes on.

  • Honestly, the biggest problem I see in crucible are pussies who run around with shotguns and fusions rifles, and then think they're good when they rack up a lot of kills. It's sad they don't know that they aren't actually good.

      • The shield is litterally weak against every single super in the game. One hit from any first class super kills the shield, 2nd sub classes can easily get into the shield and kill the titan (as long as he doesn't have the helmet saint 14 ability unlocked) and the shield can be destroyed by one rocket shot and two grenade hits. I have yet to use the shield ability where it wasn't almost emediatly destroyed or I wasn't immediatly killed inside the shield.

      • I think crucible is the most balanced MP I ever played. Everyone thinking it's OP just noob. For example, in BF 3 you are starting to play pretty good at 100h, really good at about 200, and start beasting at 400+ Shotguns are good at the point blank as it should be, and are bad at middle to long range. Shield? What's OP about shield, it's super ability! It could be bypassed by blade dancer anyway lol

          Here's the thing. Every other super is basically a guaranteed 2-3 kills, right? Now I can tell you personally that when I pop a shield, people either stand back and don't enter, or if I'm lucky I get 2-3 kills. Tell me, how's this overpowered compared to other supers? Also, enough with the OP stuff. I'm pretty sure everyone else is over that nonsense.

              • I think it should limit the amount of times you can walk through the shield and gain the armor/weapon upgrade.

                • Shotguns aren't OP, and shotgun reliant players are easy kills. Use radar to keep distance from players and kill them from range. And don't go inside a Titan Shield. Also, just play Skirmish and Salvage, 3v3 equals less chaotic enemies everywhere and creates an environment where tactics and skill can actually be employed.

                • Use the special from any other class = shield goes away and you most likely kill who ever is in it.

                • lol I never 1 shot kill with shotguns I'm always two far away or half the spread just doesn't land.. I feel like shot guns are the most balanced with snipers a little under powered and very situational and FR way too useful in any situation.. I've gone on a 13 kill killstreaks with just using the fusion rifle

                • So super their shield and it's gone. Boom. Or Titan slam through it or blade dance in it. I'm not sure what your problem is.

                  • Easiest way to deal with bubble noobs or shotgun noobs, step back and aim at the head. Yes, it's that easy, just step back and aim at the head. Or rain down a super on their stupid faces and laugh at them. The radar is always helpful.

                    • So let's break this down. #1 - [u]Bubbles are OP.[/u] So you if it's 1v1 and he's on the point, with a shotgun, in a bubble, you have a very simple mind game. [u]Answer[/u] - Make him guess when to shoot. This is as neutral as it gets. If you stutter step and force him to shoot early you can take him or between his shots. #2 [u]Shotguns are OP[/u] As of right now every weapon has its place where it out shines others (Auto Rifles the exception currently). Shotguns are unbeatable at close range. Deal with it. Fusion Rifles are meant to dominate mid range. They are designed to be countered by Shotguns at close range. [b]Pick a weapon that fits your play style.[/b] The real thing that needs to be tweaked in Crucible is the amount of special ammo available. Right now you don't need a primary weapon. If less special ammo spawned less often it would solve a lot of the problems people seem to have, in my opinion.

                      • Yup, the bubble is pretty OP, however, if he is bubbled on a point - he isn't going to be leaving it any time soon. There are 2 other points on the map to control - go grab one. As for shotguns, yeah, you don't really wanna get in to CQC with one ( unless its in your hansd ) and a Titan in his bubble is the last thing you want to try and kill. TL;DR: Ignore the bubbled Titan, go somewhere else, and shotguns OP ( doesn't stop me swinging them about like a primary though ).

                      • ...really? Getting upset that a guy ENCLOSED in a 2m radius killed you with a shotgun after you ran into the area where they have a clear advantage? Are you an idiot who has never heard of backing up and setting up a sniper headshot? The Defender Super is easily the weakest of all supers, it your own fault for letting yourself get killed in that situation. And, this is coming from a Titan Defender user. Go complain somewhere else.

                        • I love my bubble. I put the ring down and ding ding it's time to box. My favorite are the guys that stand out side and dance at me. I just step out and sticky grenade them in the face. Love it.

                          • So a Titan can sit in their bubble and withstand more damage. A hunter can slide around and one shot you with a knife. As a warlock with Apotheosis Veil I can hit my super which immediately restores my health while reducing incoming damage at the same time. Claiming supers are op is just dumb. THEY'RE SUPERS!!! As far as shotguns- one blast to the face is all it SHOULD take- its a -blam!-ing shotgun to the face!!!

                          • A clever cloaked rant about shotguns. All I can read mimmimiii shotguns kill me in rumble(even if you did said otherwise). Yes Titan shield is op in objective based games. So op that you have a 90%+ win chance if you're premade with at least 3 titans who can split and have support via voice chat. But to be honest they could sit there with any weapon, you would always lose if you charge them, because if they see that you're more than one or two they just call for backup. In random matches this doesn't matter much, because I don't think a single titan will stop the mindless zerg but if they have backup you're screwed. Idk why they even allowed premade vs randoms in the first place. Most of the completly stupid qq could be avoided with different types of PvP. Like premade vs premade and random vs random.
