...something needs to change.
It's the only weapon that is effective using sliding. Therefore it's an exploit of the mechanic and the 1HK potential of the weapon.
It needs to change.
Shotguns were brought back to special and overall that's fine. Sliding with them to enhance their potential is stupid and an exploit.

1 ReplySorry, man, but you're wrong. Fusions are effective while sliding, as are the shorter range primaries. Difference is that fusions need to charge and aren't used much outside of Telesto. And Subs/sidearms aren't one shot kills so sliding with those doesn't have much of a purpose... Though I will note that there's something -blam!--y going on with sprint-out times, where it seems instant for enemies but not-instant for me. But I'll chalk it up to lag comp. [spoiler]I will spare you summoning me, though you have, I'll make an exception for whatever that's worth.[/spoiler]

I think it would be much less of an issue without two factors: 1: 30 FPS adding view latency and response latency. 2: Network lag, mainly caused by a host/client model instead of dedicated servers. Between the two, you can be in a firefight with someone and they basically teleport 20+ feet to OHK with a shotgun. It rarely feels like being outplayed, it usually feels like bullshit.

2 RepliesBuff primaries back to D1 levels. Also how about matchmaking with consideration for skill.

1 ReplyIs this a nerf sliding post disguised as a nerf shotgun post? I get the feeling you want them both nerfed. +1 downvote

8 RepliesIn what world is sliding an exploit? It's a mechanic in the game used in movement, exploiting would be using something broken like a game breaking bug or so and using it as an advantage, like the buerocratic walk emote through the walls where you can hit people but they can't hit you.

24 RepliesLOL complaining about sliding absolutely pathetic pal Fusion rifles also benefit from sliding. Move quickly, harder to hit while charging a fusion rifle
