So... Anyone else sick to death yet of the Shotgun + cloak combo?

[MiThiKaL]

Overchage, Sludge canon and Heavy carbine with a 3 burst mod. No need for a shotgun for me. I have my damaged turned on, so if I get someone that is cloaked with my sludge I see little numbers falling in the air and I know where they are. And since they are moving so slow its easy to kill.

I usually rank at, or near the top just using an assault rifle... I'll just use cloak to get behind everyone and take em out from mid range.

The people best at pvp aren't using cloak or shotgun. It's just easier.

Everybody was shot-gun fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

[Quilliam]

The only time a cloaker shotgun guy gets me is if I stand still too long or go into a crowded area where I figure one is hanging out. Basically me being stupid.

I think the only balance thing to look into is the 3 seconds of vis if you get a 1 shot gun with a quick reload and 10% ego reduction combined with pumped up. Even then it's not that big of a deal.

I'd also consider upping damage when looking through a scope guns to make up for delay time it takes on animation vs fire from hip guns.

I run Infector Shotgun Blur, and one of my clan mates runs with a BMG. We do decent enough, Ive been killed by all sorts of things from Shotguns to AR to Sniper Rifles.

In order I get killed by..
1. Overcharge
2. No active power "that I can see, Decoy users might deserve higher rank. NOT Cloak."
3. Cloak
4. Blur
5. Decoy

It should be noted Overcharge users get me 50/50 Cloak gets me about 30% of the time. But... Blur users kill me 80% of the time and I fall for Decoys 95% of the time when use correctly by the enemy 'in my opinion doing it right in front of me is kinda a fail sending it down a hallway for me to unload at and violating me while I reload evokes nerd rage every time".. just rare to see them used. I use overcharge and every now and then cloak.

Also for every shogun death I get four to five deaths to the jag off who knows how to use infectors ...I have so much hate for that gun in PvP

It's not a problem in Shadow War when you have larger open areas, and once you have better perks. I use LMGs and a semi-auto AR now. 30+ kills every time.

Literally had to force myself to adopt this tactic just to stop getting b*tch slapped on the game by the same tactic. And now im just sick of playing deathmatch because of it. Just played a round where everyone was using the same tactic apart from a grand total of 2 people who got pretty much slaughtered.

Don't know about you guys, but these sort of events in games kinda ruin certain aspects of it for me, how about you?

Personally I would love to rock some other guns, but find myself unable too due to all this cloak and dagger buisness in the deathmatch games unless the gun happens to shoot bombs/rockets that make a big bang. It's pretty much conform or get repeatedly murdered, no variety at all.

Not sick of it since the only working maps are all CQC type. Once we get maps that are more open you will see less shot guns and mor LMG's and Snipers and Infectors.

I have not yet had the pleasure of being annihilated with this tactic yet but I think that it would be the perfect time to jump on my own grenade.
