I feel like stuff like shotguns should be treated as a novelty if you’re going to have them in a game. Meaning, it can be something fun to mess around with, but definitely not the most effective tool for the job. If money was on the line, it wouldn’t be something you’d pick. That’s just my view on it though.
- ElliotLH2 years agoHero+@RaginSam Yep they sure are. I remember lots of back and forth discussions about the 10A Hunter in Shotgun Forest on the old BF1 boards, and I'm sure it goes for other games too.
I'd probably be quite happy still if they were treated more as a novelty as that's kind of how I use them myself already - I'd rather use an AR for flexibility anyway.- GrizzGolf2 years agoSeasoned Ace
Feel like you can put a sniper scope on them and pick people off. Those things have some 1 shot range to them

CS source seems to me the only multiplayer fps that got it right
In 2042 the non headshot OHK is too far and the fire rate way too high
For both M880 and 12M

Redacted is the only map where shotguns are viable. If you make them any weaker you might as well take them out of the game completely.
I ran the MCS-880 for a while too when Redacted just launched, not because I liked it but more from a if you can’t beat them join them principleSince they slightly nerfed its range but I still see many players running it on Redacted.

Any weapon/gadget that can one-shot-kill is a problem and their number should be reduced.
Even though they have 'strong limitations', it is always annoying being on the receiving end. BF-games have become less and less fun for each new version, and one-shot weapons/gadgets just adds to the 'cheese'.
For me shotguns, throwing-knifes, Dozers shield and the ntw-50 should be removed or rebalanced (lower damage, longer range and the shield is just stupid).

So the 12m is only really good on this one map and you think it should be nerfed because of it, that's silly, its like 12m players complaining that AR's are better on every other map and asking to nerf everything to suit them.
Let the 12m have its one map and learn to counter it.
- cso77772 years agoSeasoned Ace@Adeeone They are one-shot-kill weapons, which means you have no counters, other than staying away from them (which is hard in a CQC-environment).
The problem is that you feel 'cheated' when getting killed by a shotgun. We need the game to be fun, not annoying.- Adeeone2 years agoSeasoned Rookie
Of course there are counters, you got the shield, grenades, wall shield, smoke, plus lots more tactics to use against them.
Do you feel cheated when you get sniped from miles away when you don’t even see it coming? Of course not it’s part of the game.
Most guns kill in 3 shots so just because the 12m is good at one thing at close range you should learn to deal with it, shotty players don’t whine when the shotty is useless on nearly all other maps unless up close.
