What to do about shotguns?

Zackebacke · 14-06-2009, 01:20 PM

The shotgun is so goddamn overpowered imo. You could be standing 20 metres away and still get raped by one shot. I am not that good at the game, I got it last week, but jeez... The shotgun is so broken.

davyg19788 · 14-06-2009, 01:22 PM

agree about the range as a guy shot me from the top of the crane with a shotgun

but in cqc shotgun should rule hands down

Yes, of course.

urskunked · 14-06-2009, 01:25 PM

what to do about them?

i'll say increase the range seeing as every other kit can hit them a mile away.

but hey, thats just my take.

that's the risk of taking the demo kit

that's what I like about it, you don't know what's going to happen

you either shoot or get shot...

I still prefer the spec kit tho

Sledg3hammer · 14-06-2009, 01:42 PM

IMO they should increase the 1 hit kill range on shotguns, 20m away they do barely nothing

Learn to shoot running backward. Now get back in there soldier.

Neanderthal · 14-06-2009, 02:25 PM

The shotgun just seems overpowered because in every other FPS it's underpowered. I don't want to have to shoot a guy at point blank to kill him.

With the range much shorter, shotguns would be pointless on BF sized maps.

pretty normal... each round you fire has lil' balls flying out, each in other direction. You're lucky if 2 of these balllalalala your enemy from 20m away...

Seeker03 · 14-06-2009, 02:32 PM

The range is fine... just make it pump faster

cam562 · 14-06-2009, 03:26 PM

in a game with no sensor RULe Spec would be a very very good kit to play.

bored_dude · 14-06-2009, 03:29 PM

knife or spec

GOOSEGREY · 14-06-2009, 03:29 PM

Dice already cut the range down on the ns2000 through a previous update. I am fine with the one shot kill range seriously its about 25-30ft max.The problem is it goes from 1 shot kill to 5 shot kill around 50ft. The 2 shot kill range should be extended. Dice didn't take their time in the update because it becomes unrealistic that it takes 4-5 shots to kill someone from 50 ft.

Astr0damus · 14-06-2009, 04:14 PM

I agree that it is frustrating rounding a corner and POW, you're dead from a shotgun, but the balance is that if they miss with their first shot, they are dead.

All-World-Talent · 14-06-2009, 04:46 PM

It is true that shotguns is a bit overpowered because of the 1 hit kill, but in maps like oasis it's much harder to kill people than it is to play on maps such as ascension and over and out which are much smaller maps. So it basically evens out.

ThomasJC123 · 14-06-2009, 04:54 PM

They're not overpowered, at all. As stated by someone else, it seems like they're overpowered because they're underpowered in other games. For example, CoD4.

moonymoony · 14-06-2009, 05:54 PM

Shotguns are not overpowered. It just depends on the person who is using it. It's far easier to use it on small maps such as Ascension or Over and Out, but it takes skill to use it on a big map. If you keep dying by the demo people, why don't you try using the kit as well? It is easy getting that one shot kill, but if you miss you're pretty much dead, and unlike other kits there is no health, yah? The whole "shotgun sniping" doesn't happen all the time only occasionally for me. If that happens, I just brulalalala off and not think about it too much.

You know what's broken? The knife.

oh please

To counter shotguns....

1. Crouch and spray the demo.
2. Jump like a monkey.
3. Take it like a man.

muss1210 · 14-06-2009, 09:14 PM

here we go again

shotguns are designed to be a 1 hit kill in a close combat situation, ive put many hours of game play in using the demo kit, got to rank 34 with the NS2000 and i can tell you now ive shot about 6 people from stupid distances that had full health and i know that because i'll regularly shot at long distance targets to light them up as they are way out of range for me to kill and also because from 10 meters your lucky if you actually kill someone in 1 hit

Have you ever had shotgun failing you like point blank and nothing? This is more frustrating than getting sniped with it. Sometimes it works in your favour sometimes it doesn't.

many a time ive blasted someone point blank ran past thinking there dead and they shoot me in the back

Zackebacke · 14-06-2009, 10:50 PM

With 20 metres I meant, like, 10 or 7. I was frustrated at the moment, lol.
And maybe you're right. The shotgun is underpowered in other games, but I still like the COD4-shotgun... Hm, I don't know. Maybe I'm not used to it yet. Thanks for the tips and responses though.

Shotgun shouldn't be underpowered to say it will take 2 shotgun shots to kill a person because then someone will make a thread saying I can't believe I shot a guy twice with a shotgun and he didn't die only to turn around and kill me.

Get it either way someone will complain.
