Well you said it yourself no matter what your loadouts includes the super shotgun... Hmmm
I agree you should be switching weapons and never rely on a single weapon in a game like doom but in my (very) limited experience with the multiplayer and from what your own thread mentioned no matter the map one should always have an old trusty super shotgun to fall back on.
My issue is with ranged weapons they do not do enough damage fast enough, especially with the map layouts and movement speed where it is so easy to duck away.
I haven't played a ton of the full game sober at least (lots of beta play tho)

In all fairness, you don't unlock the Combat Shotgun for a while, so your only option for "up-close and personal" is the SSG.

Psh it's really not long... Maybe 3 hours of playing? And god damn the teleporting double shotgun is unbeatable if you see someone good with it.

The vortex rifle is great I use it with the burst rifle and I can rekt fools with it I only have one loadout and that's it Just charge vortex for a sec and hit in the head and change to burst rifle to finish them off

Is that the one you have to run to charge a shot? I used that in the beta coupled with the super shotgun to finish people off. I haven't unlocked it yet in the full game so we'll see

No that's the static rifle

Edited by RH Stealth: 5/16/2016 6:22:31 PMDoom was always about being fast and in your face, and the shotgun was obviously a big part of that. I don't understand why people would think that would be changed. It's not wrong or unbalanced, it's just Doom. A shotgun is going to be really effective close-up, and Doom is close-up a heck of a lot of the time. And I find the Rocket and Hellshot to be good for longer ranges. You can detonate the Rocket whenever you want, and the Hellshot is accurate. Although a bit weaker than the rocket, you don't have to lead it because it shoots out quickly like any other weapon.

Edited by Tosevite 187: 5/16/2016 6:56:51 PMDoom was never about multiplayer I'm not complaining about the effectiveness of shotguns just the ineffectiveness of some other weapons... Even just slightly but then again I haven't played a lot and still find it enjoyable
