How much should the shotguns be nerfed? Should they even be touched?
Any of the oldschool here might remember the shotgun in Halo 2 was useless if the enemy was 3 feet away. If I remember right it didn' t even do damage from 10 feet or so. All this shotgun nerfing was done because of the godlike Halo CE shotgun. Please don't let history reapeat itself here. I don't want this to happen to shotguns in pve and I'm divided about it in pvp.
I think it would be a good idea to have them do a damage reduction or .60% after 3 feet. Thats just a ruff nerf I can think of at the moment.

3 feet is a ridiculous idea. At that point a double melee would be your best option. The shotguns are perfectly fine as they are. The only gun that needs a buff in my opinion are pulse rifles.
