PVP shotgun users = noobs?

The whole shotgun deal from destiny is a cheap one, copied and pasted from halo game style. Shotguns are a cheap way of playing PVP that requires no skill. Excuse my rant, just wondering in anyone else felt the same at all?

  • I get what you all are saying and to correct my post, I think people who ONLY use shotguns and nothing else need to diversify. The run, slide, shotgun combo is pretty hard to counter. Also shotgun, punch is basically an instakill. And with all the mobility in this game, it is so much easier to get into close range, so shotgun's range isn't that big of a negative.

  • I usually do - especially just after being shottied for the 5th time on Twilight Gap - until I grab a shottie myself and realise there is some skill involved, thanks to the pants range on the thing. Next time you get shottied, look at their stats at the end of the game - they're usually on a negative KD. Nowadays, I blame myself when it happens - it's obvious when someone's shottying, just keep them at arm's length and pick them off.

  • Hmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm the creators of halo "copied and pasted" (oddly enough I don't remember my shotty in the halo series encrusted with hive skulls) one of the most beloved aspects and guns in the game?what?! How dare they! Fusion rifles are far far noobier and this debate will go on forever so it doesn't matter. If a kid just goes 1 for 1 with a shotty there is a little noobiness to that. But when I go for 25 kills and a 3-5 k/d ratio then I think it's hard to argue that I'm a "noob" when I've been doing this well since halo ce. Suck my sword breaker suck my sword breaker you sad pvp meat bag trash

  • Solution for shotguns: Don't sprint everywhere. ADS before entering room. Fusion rifle: Learn to strafe

  • 40% of the problem is 12 year old scrubs with nothing but shotguns/fusions, 40% of the problem is that secondary ammo is -blam!-ing EVERYWHERE, and 20% is the maps are all close range

  • Noobs are fusion rifle users. You walk all slow and fire from the hip at range for one shots.

    Maybe you need to get better at the game, if it's not shot guns then I'm sure you'd complain about something else, but the guns are in the game man, don't be mad cause you're not sharp enough to keep distance between you and the other person, try to spec your guy for agility so you have faster movement making it harder for them to one shot you, now run along jimmy and play nice.

  • I've been using the swordbreaker to get this thorn bounty done. I realized there just isn't that many legendary/exotic void weapons out there.

  • HOLD UP! This guy says shotguns are for noobs. And anyone that knows anything about destiny knows that what he says is law. From now on everyone listen to THIS guys opinion. Either that or suck less.

  • I hate fusion rifle users 10 times more than shotgunners. Atleast shotgunners have to get close.

Excuse my rant, just wondering in anyone else felt the same at all?[/quote] I do not feel the same because they put the guns in the game to use not to look at if you can't handle someone blasting you with a shotgun then you should quit pvp because that's all it is for the most part. It's people like you who annoy me when they don't like something so you gotta bitch about how cheap it is. Get with it or get off

  • No, I do not feel the same. I feel as though that if someone thinks something is "over used" or "op" then that is sad. In some cases it is understandable (auto rifle for example) but each weapon requires some amount of skill to use. Shotguns are an effective tool in crucible depending on your playstile, if you like up close and personal playstile, then this gun worke well for the player. Any weapon in the game can be considered a noob weapon by any person who thinks it is op.

  • It's mainly that they have unlimited special ammo practically. I wish they would spawn special ammo less often.

  • They are kinda piss off that they are 1 shot, that's why I use shotguns if the whole enemy team does.

      If you can't kill a guy before he can get within Melee distance of you just jump up and over them. Its my UR's weakness, and I would assume its worse for other shotguns. Merry X-Mas!
