What are your opinions on shotguns? I personally tend to think that SMGs are far superior, they can kill someone from more than 10 feet away. Only useful as secondary weapons for a long range weapons class methinks.

Shipment = Shotgun.

Add a Grip and Stopping Power and I can kill someone from 10 feet away.

True, but I only play HC and shipment never comes up there. *Cries* I had a good match on Downpour with a M1014 class I was experimenting with, but at least half the kills probably came from my Deagle and a G3 I scrounged.

Depends on the map. Shotguns are good for Vacant, Broadcast, Shipment and even Chinatown when your moving through the buildings. You better have overkill on or be good with your pistol though because you'll get raped from long distance.

I think they're good.

My reactions are getting better fom using them, when someone pops around a corner and i just shoot as soon as i see 'em, i normally would just aim properly, then shoot and die. Now i don't.

I thinmk the M1014 or whatever it is, would be better with 6 rounds.

MP5 with silencer stopping power is almost unbeatable. Although, my deaths are usually by shotguns, however i only die 5 times a map sometimes.

I'm pretty good with both shotguns, although I rarely use them now. I got red tiger in a few days of playing with the first one.

Anyway, I've found out (for me) that the best combo for using any shotgun is Bandolier/Bomb Squad, UAV Jammer and Extreme Conditioning. This is great for levels like Bloc, and it's also good on some like Ambush because if you're sneaky enough you can get behind the opposition spawn because you've got Xtreme Conditioning and they won't be able to find you if they have a UAV

Auto shotty,rpg,sleight of hand and steady aim=rape. End of story. Sleight of hand has saved my ass with the shotty more times than I can ever count with sp or uav jammer. Miss a couple of shots or the person has juggernaut? Oh well you have plenty of time to reload and get another shot in. Plus the range isn't that horrible. People just need to learn to compensate for it and not try to snipe with a shotgun.

I personally prefer the first Shotgun, add Double tap and grip. And oh god, it's hell pumped up. It shoots so much faster. and the power and range is so much better than the other one.

Let me remind you that you do not need steady aim for shotguns because the crosshairs never change no matter what.

i cant master them, when the game first came out and had a bit of a spree with the auto, but now i just cant get used to them, which is a shame

Basically, you will want to use your shotgun when fighting in interiors (buildings etc.) and the best tactic seems to be running round the map with it ripping through anyone who gets in the way. Another good way of going about it is jump about a bit.

Not about the crosshairs moving. Its when you're moving and the other person is moving and the kick on the gun. amirite. Plus using grip you don't need steady aim.
