i cant belive you guys dont like the shot gun! I love it but only in close quarters. It sounds like your trying to use it as a battle rifle or somthing. Have you ever plyed a game of "shotguns" its so much fun!!!!

ok for those of you spouting out about the inconsistancy of shotgun shells, how about taking into consideration that the distances used in said above test were pretty damn close, close enough in fact if you were using a real shotgun you would have a hole straight through you, missing a body part or what not. that type of thing. we arent talking shooting clay pigeons, which shottys are still accurate for, we are talking a big ass target. at close range, withing 20 yards.

the whole point im trying to make is if you are 10 yards away from something, and shot off a few shells at something you would have a nice group for each shot, considering the pellets dont spread immediately after exiting the barrel......they stay grouped pretty close for a while, more so than the distances tested here are.

cmon people, a small bit of common sense would tell you at least that......

Come on dude shotgun shells are never consistant. quit winning just becuase you suck with a shotgun



to all the retards who think this:


I own a shotgun, I shoot shotgun, and a shotgun is NOT inconsistant like you think it is. At 50 yards, a modified choke barrel can chuck 50 pellets into a 2 foot square piece of paper EVERY SINGLE SHOT. When you hunt birds, you DO NOT flock shoot where there seems to be a lot of them; if you do, you'll maybe hit one bird in a couple of hours of hunting. You find a bird, put the bead on it, pull back, and you kill THAT EXACT BIRD



the fact remains: ANY shotgun short of lousy has a VERY reproducable spread

I can hit a Squirrel.up in a tree 30 yards above me, but I can't hit a 7 foot Spartan at 5 paces.
Something's not right.


maybe you don't have a shotgun at all, maybe you have a super laser guided death cannon that shot flaming schitzophrenic ninjas who practiced necromancy and lusted the tiny souls of innocent squirrels.







what?

^^^retard, read my post :|



I've seen around 40 replies exactly like yours, and they all couldn't be farther from the truth



for those of you who still don't understand, here's a little visual aid:


http://www.rischtech.com/~alexbropa/pics/shotgun.JPG


these three "samples" of a shotgun are about what it'd look like in real life. The exact placement of each individual pellet is random, yes; but it almost ALWAYS conforms with the pellets near it. Are the three "samples" random? Yes. Are the three "samples" consistent? Yes.


in truth, the pellet placement isn't even random, they commonly form a very percice pattern beacause of the way they were packed in the shell

I don't mind that the shotgun ins't very accurate from far away. (probably to balance out with the other weapons) What makes me furious is when I'm running at a guy and we both pull the trigger at the same moment and somehow, I'm dead and he's still running. I did an experiment in split screen holding 2 controllers aimed at the same spot and pulled both triggers - sometimes, 1 spartan dies and the other lives. somethings not right.

I'm just upset that I fired a shotgun at point blank into someone's chest, he killed me with a shotgun, and my ally behind me hit him in the chest at point blank with a shotgun, twice, and the guy still didn't die.

This has happened almost a gagillion times before, it's annoying, and I hate when I jump out of the back of a moving warthog and die. Out of the turret, it's moving forward, and somehow I get betrayed by the driver. How is that possible? Did I trip and fall out and break my neck? O.o

WHAOH!! u think the shot gun damage is bad or the sound...?! some times when i play,multi or single theres a layer thats missing on explosions and rockets... like when u see the rocket its a flying stick that glows with no smoke and explosions happen to be a glowing sphere! not to mention the fact alot of the time the models keeps getting untextured even in cut scenes...but other wise the game kiks ass and people... if you can kick... but Halo 2 rulz...! and the shot gun don't really have any problems.

Moderator's note: It almost seems like a waste that so many people got so passionate in a thread which was in the wrong forum in the first place. Thread locked.
