Subject: Shotty?

There are those who said this day would never come, what are they to say now?

What did Bungie do to the shotgun in Halo 2? In Halo CE it was one of the most useful weapons but in Halo 2 its a piece of crap. Unless you get close enough it will barely do anything. Also what happened to it being automatic? in Halo CE it was automatic, now its semi. I ask again, why did they do that?

You've never used the Shotgun to defend your flag in your base in Coagulation, have you? If that weapon is used correctly, it is a beast.

I like that they decreased the rang of the Shotgun. That make it a lot more suitable for its niche - a close-range weapon (comparable to the Energy Sword). You do not want to run in to that thing at close-range.

WHAT!? What the hell? What do you want the shotty to do? I am not familiar with Halo's CE shotty as much as I am with Halo 2's shotty, but it is a great weapon in H2. It is a close range weapon that kicks major butt. Want a scope on it? Hehe =D

well as you are not as familiar with CE's shotty then try not to judge me too badly, i did play CE for a long time so for it to differ in range and use, well it takes getting used to. And to that fact that it is a great close range weapon, most of the servers i can find use sword so that makes it even more useless.

Ahhh I see, I do remember the Shotty being more powerful in CE. Sorry, I did not mean to offend you in any way.

=D

halo 2's shotgun is a lot more random, from my experience. Couple that with far decreased range, slower firing, and slower movement speed, its usefulness is drastically reduced. most of halo1's weapons are more devastating than their halo 2 counterparts though, so it mostly balances out.
