Subject: Nerf The Shotgun Seriously

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

They already nerfed it. Shotgun is fine, people just need to learn to watch for campers.

Your missing the point entirely. The shottgun beats every close range weapon, what I'm suggesting is that atleast 1 close range weapon beats it. Yes, you can beat it with long rnage, but you can do that to all the other close rnage weapons too. Not to mention in small place like the snowbound structures with shield doors, its hard to not get beat by the shottgun, regardless of longer range weapons.


That sounds like whinnying. You have no point.

Tottally whining, good logic.

You know at about 10 feet a BR kills faster than a shotgun. You also have grenades that can bounce around corners. You have no reason to justify the shotgun being overpowered.

The shotgun's Damage o-meter is FINE
The shotguns's Range is way to short

I say go back to the shotgun mechanics on Halo combat evolved, i personally think that it became the best weapon in the game and for killing flood. especially in the library. reason ? because its just fun to use :) and felt realistic to me. maybe the firing range was a bit tooooo long but oh well. on a multiplayer perspective, maybe not the best idea.. you can assume why

I like the shotgun on halo 3 anyway. except the range but if i had to decide, bring back the old ;D

Nerf it? It's way to weak already, I'd rather have the Halo: CE shotgun.

Are you kidding me? A real shotgun can kill up to about 50 yards. This shotgun, which is an 8 guage (Which is huge by the way) kills only within melee range. And that is like 10 feet.

Any more nerfed you might as well just shoot paintballs.

I agree that weapons need to have their own unique uses, but "nerfing" the shotgun isn't the way to go.

The shotgun should be like it was in Halo 1, but it shouldn't be able to kill you in a single hit like it does now. Make it something like the mauler, able to kill in 2 hits from assault rifle range and 1 hit + a melee up close. The shotgun would also need to have more ammo because of the increased amount of shots to kill somebody.

The shotgun has been nerfed in the last two consecutive games. Try again...

I think that bungie had got just the right balance for every weapon in the game, i mean, look what they've done with the pistol, yeah whoever could kill anybody whit the Halo CE pistol, even the Halo 2 pistol was easy to kill with, but now, just who are pretty good playing, and have high skills can get a kill with the pistol. i think that bungie focussed in make a game more hard to dominate, but more sweetable when you do it, but even when you think you are the god of halo, the king of the hill, that nobody can stop you now, someone beats you or sticks you or makes an overkill; what i'm trying to say is that everyweapon has it highs and lows, and it depends on everyone habilities to make them usefull or not. And just for the record, i usually beat guys with swords with a mauler/mele, sometimes we kills each other, sometimes stick alive, but when you had no "greats" weapons near, you've got to defend with whatever is in your hands.

I hope this thread is a joke. If anything the shotgun needs a buff. I mean really, what is it, like 15 in-game meters away to even damage someones shield by 1/10, less than 5 meters to bring shields down completely? If they're going to tone it down that much, they should put more 'shot' into it;; you're actually better off with a mauler if you're further away.

Honestly after a Halo: CE LAN I had with some friends a little bit ago, I wouldn't mind if they brought back the CE shotgun, but toned it down a tad from that.

I didn't pay much attention to your post, but this caught my eye and as a result, you win for coining such a ridiculous phrase.

Halo CE shotgun was fine, Halo 2 shotgun was good as long as you were host. Halo 3 shotgun is a joke.

Okay, let's suppose Bungie made the Gameplay in Halo 2 and 3 the same as Halo 1.
No new weapons.
No new features.
No equipments.
No new enemies.
No Elites in Multiplayer.
No new armors.
What would you think? I think if the Gameplay in Halo 2 and 3 would be the same as Halo 1, it would turn into a joke.
So I predict that you hate all the new things that Bungie made it for Halo 2 and 3

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

The shotgun serves its purpose fine, the reason it beats the ther CQB weapons is because they all have and extre use in comparison. The sword has the largest range that leads to a kill shot of the 4 CQB weapons which i think is fine. The hammer has less range than the sword but can turn over vehicles and can damage a player a little to a lot if it misses. Then there is the mauler which has the most damage range of the weapons and can be dual-weilded. In the end there is the shotgun which is meant to be a great close range weapon and it's advantage over the others is that its a CQB weapon that serves as a better anti-CQB in comparison with the others. It is fine the way it is. The reason the Halo 1 shotty didn't come back was because it was to damn powerful and would take almost every other weapon out of the game and people need to stop comparing this shotty to a real shotgun because a real shotgun isn't balanced for equal play for some specific reasons like winning WARS and stuff like that.

why does a shotgun thats probably something we could make today completely own the sword, gravity hammer, and mauler.

This argument is irrelevant.

Swords are thousands of years old. Just because the Halo Sword lights up doesn't mean it is used differently than any other sword. It still requires you to slice your opponent to kill them. The Grav hammer also has to be used in the same way as any other hammer. And the mauler is just a pistol sized shotgun.

  • 08.09.2009 9:24 AM PDT

the shotgun was overpowered in halo 1, underpowered in halo 2, and was just right in halo 3

Here is a hint, OP.

Don't run straight at the other players. It also helps to check what weapons they have on them.
