Tbh i prefer the current shotgun meta to the sniper meta we had some months back.

During that "sniper meta" there were more shotgun kills than snipers...
-
Totally agree You actually have to put yourself at risk with a shotgun....if nothing more than you are in the enemy's shotgun range to use your own shotgun. The sniper meta sucked. It was uses as a battle rifle and one shot kill from any range with special ammo all over the place.

Me too
-
Exactly
-
Exactly. Bungie plz don't nerf me lol
-

Edited by kellygreen45: 12/14/2016 11:50:22 PMSame here. I think its mainly snipers who are complaining, because they don't like the sort of in-your-face combat that comes with shotgun play. ..and shotgunners can't lockdown an entire map and force you to the game their way, like snipers can. I ran into an entire clan team of MLG wannbes in a Clash match. All six of them were maining snipers...and you could barely -blam!-ing move. Every sightline longer than an inch became a sniper lane.

Edited by YourVillain: 12/14/2016 11:23:21 PMI feel like people are just straight up forgetting how snipers worked back pre nerf... They could kill you even when you knew they were there. You are not going to out gun an OHK weapon with a 3-5 shot primary. Keep in mind there is a radar that at least show what direction the sniper should face so good luck sneaking up on him. In contrast to shotgunners There is a radar that shows enemy locations at all times and unlike dealing with snipers you can literally see the indicator of closing in... Not to mention in order to be in kill range of a shotgunner they must ALSO be in your kill range. Its a no contest. I can't believe this is even up for argument. When is the last time you have seen a shotgunner shut off whole areas of the map? Does anyone ever say avoid shot gun lanes? NO because in order for it to work you have to not know they are there. Otherwise you just kill them I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

It's not about the sniper vs shotgun meta, it's the shot gun vs primary issue. Right now you its seems HROF pulses are the only consistent counter to warriors closing the gap.
-
Yea, thats not true. Radar and any primary is a counter to shotguns. I rarely use my HROF pulse and I continuously kick shotgunner in the nads. I would understand it being a pain without radar but yea, we have it so it's not hard if you just keep an eye on it. I'm an average player so anyone can do it
-
Not disagreeing with you. Just saying what I am getting as the general gist from all the other topics and posts.

Someone's seen Zoolander. ;)

probably because youre a shotgunner or better witha shotgun than with a sniper... A sniper meta is easier to play in than a shotty meta... Just dont peak lanes, problem solved
-
Negative. Two or three snipers working in coordination can lockdown a map that doesn't have any protected flanking routes in 6v6 match. Which then forces you to stand back and snipe was well...or else get absolutely wrecked. Because you LITERALLY can't move around the map without getting your head blown off. But then trying to outsnipe someone who snipes as their game...is also a recipie for getting beaten. Which is why people hated the sniper meta. OTOH, People can shotgun warrior all day...and I can still play my own game. I just need to make sure that CQC is covered. FYI, my pvp kills come from hand cannons and pulse rifles. For me a shotgun is strictly a situational weapon.
-
Negative. You can check my pvp kills. I use my primary more than anything, but when it comes to special: #1 sniper #2 fusion #3 shottys #4 sidearms I would just prefer to counter shotgunners rather than snipers, especially because i tend to use close-range primaries.
-
hmm, i find it much harder to counter a jugg running titan with a full auto matador than a sniper sitting in the back.. that might just be me tho
-
Even when i do use shottys, i was never a fan of the matador/party crasher/last ditch archtype. I prefer the higher rof shotguns, such as immobius or the proud spire... but that's just me. I'll occasionally run a last ditch on my warlock, because the melee range makes it easier to get that follow-up kill. Typically I like using the susanoo on my warlock though
-
but see that would be good , if they could make low impact high RoF shotguns a viable option... it's just getting annoying that in order to be competitive you just use a handful of guns when there are so many options
-
High RoF shotguns are better but u run out of ammo too fast. Give invective a try it's crazy
-
Ur probably just bad ;)
-
probably tbh
