If You Love Us, Please Make Shotguns Go Away

[N0va]

Shotguns are shotguns people, they are perfectly good where they are.

What NEEDS to happen is to buff other guns that are pretty weak atm, and make bigger maps.

The only two maps in competitive are very close quarters and shotgun friendly, bigger maps are needed.

"Reliable counter"

You mean like the perk near decoy which reveals cloaked players?

"But schnibbly , we want a perma counter to cloak"

...*sigh*

You're almost right it's more like
"We wanna win and never lose again TEE HEE"

Another person who knows his game. Maps are small thus CQB will be better.

Yep seriously it works. One of my best matches so far came from using, a heavy assault rifle and sub machine gun, (both fire) and a pyro grenade, combined with decoy and respark shield, using good old tactic's of bait and switch, 19 kills 3 deaths...

PVP is just a combination of skill and luck, at the end of the day people moan that you can't snipe because you get someone cloak, then run up behind you and 1 shot you with a shotgun... I presume you are camping one spot... that shtako tends to happen if you don't fire and move you're asking for trouble.

Oh, also, another note guys. If you expect to out DPS a shotgun in close quarters, then you deserve to lose for your idiocy. Like I said in an earlier post, think outside the box to your approaches and for God's sake, keep your distance from shotgunners.

Dodge is also your friend. In my experience cloak shotgunners tend to congregate where there are the most people (duh, right?) That means either lay fire on those areas from a distance or be prepared to take a shot to the back.

Invest in perks like Thick Skinned, Fail Safe, or Rear Guard. Thick Skinned allows you to take half damage after your shield breaks. Fail safe causes you to take reduced damage while your shields are recharging, and Rear Guard reduces damage taken from behind by up to 30%, and that's only 3 perks that can save your life. Getting shot in the back? Take a tip from us Gears of War Sawed Off users and roll backward. "Toward their gunfire? D:" Yes. You should be able to get a good idea about how close they are to you based on how much shields you lose. One or two rolls is usually enough to get behind them. This will throw off most players. What you do from there is your choice. I usually give them a melee and side roll, then back up and lay some fire down on them.

Anyway, just more ranting on my part.

i use the bmgs, infectors and detonators to counter shotguns if they get ridiculous! You need to stop complaining about shotguns and get better. If something doesn't work, change your strategy you freaking whiny gamers! God every game has these sissies there is always unbalance and there never can be a perfect balance but being a better and smarter player can help offset that!

!!!!amen!!!!

With blur your not invisible no.. but when you can close the distance with a dramatic speed increase, even able to jump over other players heads forcing them to turn around, SHOTGUNS will win.

With Decoy you can be spotted a bit away, send your Decoy toward them which will act as an extra shield, it ALSO teleports you to it..which then you use your shotty up close...

Your little comment "you can try" is funny in itself seeing as how I use Blur + shotty and will destroy you if you were using an LMG but my other post still stands, if any1 can beat me with any combo of skills + wep except for shotty i'll give you 10k Scrip and an Orange wep

It will be in SW away from other points, just me and you, we start 75 meters away. Whenever YOU fire your weapon we will begin.

My apologies that your challenge will have to remain unanswered. I play on the PC which is why I use rifles and or LMG's, I am also fond of pistols ^.^. I encountered a blur user with a shotgun in the shadow war actually. I run blur with my LMG. It is rather interesting watching someone try to catch you and just be countered in that same was. However cloak has no counter. Decoy revealing someone who is cloaked? Shoot the decoy...it has like no HP to stand up to the damage of a player, let alone the damage of a mob. Shotgun isn't broken, cloak is. My opinion still stands. You are welcome to use blur and shotgun all you like ^.^. So long as you don't magically vanish and have completely invulnerability while doing so (More or less anyways) then you have my respect.
