Sorry but I looked his stats to see why he loved Shotguns so much...Made sense why he did...makes sense ur defending him, looking at ur stats.

Show me a LMG, carbine, assault rifle, or sniper rifle that one and two-shots at range without ADS and that argument might hold some water.

Mind blown? I know.

Aren't the real "CoD players" the ones who cry about everything that kills them? Don't they same similar things to "X killed me with Y, therefore Y is OP!". Please tell me if I am wrong.

@Thread: I've explained it before but I don't mind explaining again. Shotguns have one area where they are superior at when it comes to range. Outside of CQC, they are almost harmless. Every other weapon type in this game can fight decently at teast two different ranges. SMGs excel at CQC and are decent at medium range. LMGs, depending on which one you use, are good at Short-Med or Med-Long. Assasult rifles are basically the same as LMGs. Finally, Sniper rifles, again depending on which ones you use, excel at Med-Long range.

The reason shotguns are so powerful at CQC is because.... they are ONLY good in CQC.

OP is a bad player with bad comments, who does nothing but post peoples player stats, yet doesnt even have the balls to post under his own players name, so people can laugh harder

lol you changed ur sig?...I didnt even notice.

Damn you must feel ashamed.....That K/D ratio was nice breh.

You mean like how SMG's are only good in CQC?
But wait... SMG's are also half as good as shotguns, killing half as many people per mag, and..... Having a TTK thats twice as long AT BEST.

Shotguns ruined MW2/MW3/BLOPS2, and I think PS2's 4 shotguns are an attempt to cash in on the popularity of one/two shot kill weapons that COD/BF3 fans like. I have a Pandora and I think it's needlessly OP and changes the entire nature of PS2's TTK.

Ok, so what should shotguns do? Be decent at CQC & medium range? So, pretty much pellet-firing carbines?

I see tons of whining & nerf-calling, but no whiner ever gives an elaborate (and sane) explanation as to how they could be nerfed. They can't have a damage reduction, unless they get an equally good range buff. And shotguns in FPS' should dominiate CQC, not be good at medium range and decent at CQC.

IT'S A SHOTGUN PEOPLE, THEY'RE GREAT FOR CQC ENGAGEMENTS. THIS AND MORE NEWS AT 10!

It's a video game, not a simulator. you must love your shotgun. I love how people who present a factual statement are immediately deem'd a "whiner". I did post possible solutions, if you read the post and not just go, "oh he wants to get rid of my op shotty - MUST FLAME HIM!"

BRB gonna spend SC to get a gun.....Get a buddy to heal me....and Camp...because I don't want to let the 9.0 k/d ratio scatmax who is so ashamed of the fact he uses shotguns k/d ratio that he changed his sig.......Yeah man Im gonna do that

Ashamed? No... no no no no.. Shame is what i'd feel if I as a parent would see my kid spewing that BS you're doing right now, don't matter if it's online or in real life. THEN i'd be genuinely ashamed...

As for my beastly k/d & SPM? UJELLYBRO?

Nah, what I do love is common sense and sane people. These forums need more of 'em . Also, tell me another modern FPS where shotguns are not fantastic in CQC? Get with the program dude...

Stop talking like such a baddie, and post your characters name, so we can all know with certainty that you're a baddie.

Man, you're sucha drama queen lol.

Well this was fun, i'll check my inbox when I wake up tomorrow

G'night cutie .

You can most certainly use an SMG at med range. Are you serious? You can't do this at all with a shotgun. They do NOT have a second range area where they are at least decent in.

Sorry but the people who are whining about this are the ones who are the "CoD players". Learn to adept to what's happening around you. I'm pretty curious on how many people complaining about shotguns in this thread have actually extensively used them.

Yeah BRB never going to CQC because their might be a shotgun in the corner....or some Scatmax camper who changes his SIG because he is ashamed....

An SMG at medium range is about as good as a shotgun in the same, 20-30 meter ranges, you may as well be firing cotton candy, you are not getting the kill.

I know the limitations of the SX5 and i accept that. The SMG isn't what is at debate here. I was just bringing facts to the table.

They are relevant to CQC balance, with them being.... Pure CQC weapons and all.

Well most people don't have good enough AIM and you can react with HA.

With a shotgun ur aim doesn't matter much and HA die ASAP.
