I hate the Halo 2 shotgun!

it takes forever to reload!

the range sucks your enemy has to be right in front of you!


its so weak you have to shoot it 3 times to get a kill when your enemy is right next to you!


I hate the shotgun so much!
it sucks

why did Bungie studios make it so weak?!?!

the Halo 1 shotgun was better

the Halo 2 shotgun is useless!!!

The shotgun is a balanced weapon. People that say weapons suck obviously don't know how to use them effectivly. The same goes for people who complain about sword noobs. Really, it's not that hard to kill a guy with a sword.

Shotgun is bad but its better than the one in Halo1. IN halo1 shotgun and pistol is almost unbeatable combo, Pistol has endless accurate range and shotgun kills anything else. Shotgun sucks in both games, like the pistol althought Halo2 pistol is balanced with PP.

The only reason why people hate Halo 2's shotgun is because of the host advantage, if that didn't exist, they would all shut up

It just sucks with connection. With host, it acts like it's supposed to, powerful.

this may sound liek a dumb question but what do you mean by the host who is that?

  • 05.20.2007 8:49 AM PDT

Finish the fight fellow spartans!! the storm is almost over and your new life has just started!!

the host is the person that started the online battle, anyways i think the shotgun is pretty good if your good with it, but i did'nt notice any power boost when host..

There is no power boost, it's just when your not host, it losses some of the information that needs to be transfered, and since the Shotgun uses several rounds in one shell, it jsut doesn't register right. When your host, you don't have those limitations, it acts like it's supposed too. Hopfully that
ll be fixed in Halo 3.

Games Like Far Cry, Doom 3 and Rainbow Six Vegas also have a tendency to make the Shotgun almost useless if you're not host.

Captain, I agree completely. The Shotty now has a very small range--at times, I could use the Halo 1 Shotgun to permanently kill two Flood. Now you have to get a point blank shot, which is not completely peasant. For some reason, though, other people can kill me very easily with it...

since i know you guys don't know, yeah the halo 3 shotgun is better, has a couple of feet more range than h2 and is more consistent.

Ah well, at least I have something good to look forward to as far as the Shotty is concerned...

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

There's a glitch with teh shotgun where if you are too close to someone the gun barrel will actually go THROUGH them, thus you shoot behind them instead of into them. It has screwed me over dozens of times where they should die in 1 shot instantly but I end up not even hitting them.

on host shotty! death at 20metres!

Shotgun balanced if your host thats funny the shotgun is radiculous if your host. nothing more irratating than being blown away from some one 30 feet away just cause they have host.

It does suck. I hate it when people put the shotgun on Zombies. IT's so weak. And I Agree with you on the reloading thing. It takes forever!!!! Hope we can get a better one in Halo 3

OKAY if you hate it don't use it. Have you even played the Beta? If you have you would know that the shotgun is back and it is nasty. Bungie knew that the shotgun was screwed up in H2.

There is absolutely no point to use all this vulgarity though. Calm down, it is just a GUN in a GAME
