I have troubles defeating my enemies in the mp map "longest". They get shotguns, and it can be pretty hard to get em off of a killing spree, and turn the tables. Got any tips on how to do this easier?

the hand gun from a distance is always good... that or frag grenades ... yet this is all from atleast a 10 foot distance (in game)

Bounce frag grenades and use the pistol from a distance, that should do it.

always be up high, once you spot a target, hunt it until you get as close as possible or until they notice you following them, then go to town. Always move in 5 second intervals.
Ex. Run 1-2-3-4-5 stop, scan, repeat. If you run too long without doing this, someone will follow you and get the drop on you from behind.

you know you probably shouldnt STOP.... that just invites death, i would suggest just spinning in a circle once and a while... WEEEEE!!
(or you could always check that weird circle thing in the bottom left... i think the red dots indicate SOMETHING) <- obvious sarcasm

That's the tactic I use in close quarters situations. And I always dominate.

Stick them in the face with plasma grenades if they're the type that charge straight at you... and use your motion tracker. it is the most helpful thing in the game.

if they are smart and can avoid the plasma grenades, get a shotgun and do the same thing back at them.. Oh and be sure to use Camo and Overshield...
